The latest on Briggs: Bears want more

Also, if you're the Bears the LAST thing you want are more of our defenders from last year. They'd be taking a page right out of our terrible offseason moves playbook. Remember last year we got all hot to trot about a couple of woebegone San Fransico 49rs?

Net pick up: Brandon Lloyd and Andre Carter.

Ouch.

but andre carter lead the team in sacks

Double Ouch

and we had a six way tie for interceptions i think

Why are so many people ready to give up on Marshall? I would say that he has more value than Rocky or Golston at this point.

I would give them Montgomery and that is it. We are doing them a favor by taking this guy off their hands.I don't think you can justify trading for a pro bowl linebacker as "doing them a favor."

true but i think we should scrap the briggs deal
give rocky a chance at starting and keep golston in the rotation with griffin and sign ian scott and then either draft gaines adams or laron landry

Rather keep Marshall than Rocky or Golston just because he is a starter, but want us to keep them all to be honest. Rocky hasn't played a heck of a lot to just deal Marshall away. Even though Briggs might have better stats in Chicago, he still might not be a good fit in DC. Keep all of our guys put and kill the deal.

how does drafting a safety help our defense. if we were going to draft a safety with the 6 pick we might as well trade it for briggs. if we keep it we need to trade down or draft andersen,branch,or okoye

Competition is a good thing. We seem to be so afraid of it.

Let Rocky and Marshall fight it out. You save so much money over Briggs in doing so.

I'm shocked that Ian Scott is still unsigned. He'd be a fine addition to any team, and we certainly have the need at the position, but I'd pass on him. Let's save our money. Inevitably, there will be a better DT on the open market next year. Lets take advantage of the fact that Salave'a still has a year left on his deal and milk him for all he's worth. If he just can't go anymore, play the rookie I'm assuming we are going to take.

We very well could make a big signing on the DL next offseason, but certainly we will be reevalutating our needs between now and then.

Laron Landry only makes sense if we can get a trade down AND have decided to give up on Sean Taylor. If we are committed to Taylor, Landry makes little sense.

I don't think you can justify trading for a pro bowl linebacker as "doing them a favor."

Letting them move up to the 6th pick and taking a problem off their hands is doing them a favor in my book. I don't see anyone else beating down their door to take him off their hands. If they don't trade him they are looking at a locker room disaster next season.
