The latest on Briggs: Bears want more

I agree Matty--this makes a bad deal worse, IMO.

Hopefully, this will shut the talk down. But I'm pretty sure that Drew Rosenhaus is using his close relationship with the skins to work this into a frenzy. If no one shows interest in Briggs, he has no real leverage to get a new deal. My guess is Drew is driving the rumors and the skins are willing to see what happens, in the hope of getting a good deal on a proven player.

no, but maybe since they did us a favor with A.A., we kind of owe them one. but the trade isn't the greatest, as it is set up right now, for the skins

I think what the redskins initially offered was more than enough and maybe made sense in a way. They gain a proven player at an area that they seem to feel was a weakness last year by moving down from the top to the bottom of the draft. What the Bears get is something positive for something that is negatively affecting their team.

If the redskins have to give up another player (with the players mentioned in the article) or draft pick, it wouldn't benefit the redskins at all. The whole point of the trade would be - to help strengthen an area of weakness. The players that were listed in the scenario are at positions of perceived weakness for the redskins: linebacker and defensive tackle. Addition-by-subtraction is not the case in this situation.

Meantime I'll bet Joe Gibbs is sitting back saying we've had no contact with the Bears. Hillarious.

I sit on this until we are on the clock. Everyone knows we are willing to make a move, if it's right. The deal needs to be a GIFT to do it now. Who can absolutely say who will be there at # 6?? It's not a.........gift deal. Wait, and let em' come to us

I'd say the Briggs thread count is catching up to the Brunell, Ramsey, Lavar thread counts. I'm even thinking of a new slant to this so I can start a thread.

Say "you want Marshall? Throw in the 38th pick in addition to the 31st and we have a deal", if they say "no", say "have a nice day, call us if you change your mind, enjoy your LB sitting out." If only the FO were this smart.

Here is the thing that gets to me we claim that we need defensive line help yet we have brought in 0 free agents i dont get that ian scott is still out there played solid for the bears and he is 25 years old and i know that the FO wanted briggs before we traded AA so why didnt we bring him up then dumb move by us and this is what the trade should look like if we give up marshall

bears get:
6th pick
marshall

redskins get:
31st pick
lance briggs
2nd rd pick 37th overall
we have leverage why not use it for once GOD

but right now i think we should keep the pick sign ian scott before the draft and take either gaines adams or laron landry damn skins u messed up on this one

I know i am not the only one who feels that they screwed up here

Earthquake,

I come to you as a friend. Using really big font, all caps, etc. will not make more people read your posts. Nope, it will just make people angry, or at the very least annoyed.
