[QUOTE=GTripp0012;291844Unless Quinn, Thomas, or Johnson do fall, the Bears really don't have a good pick at 6. It may not be worth it for them to make this deal, despite all the value they are getting for Briggs.[/QUOTE]

That's crazy talk. A #6 pick is never a bad thing especially in a very good draft and especially for a guy who many times has publicly said he won't play for Chicago again, unless it's the "I'll sit for 10 games and play 6" ploy. And the Bears won't be coughing up the monster salary he wants. If anything, the Bears have plenty of options with that pick.

Briggs has wanted the spotlight on himself for a long time. He's on a defense surrounded by Pro-Bowlers...if he goes to the Redskins he'll get the chance to see he's everything he thinks he is, or a by-product of that defense up there. Don't get me wrong, he's a very good linebacker...but playing next to guys like Tommie Harris, Urlacher, etc doesn't hurt. If he wants out, fine....and if the Bears can get a #6 pick then that's a steal for them, even giving up the #31 also.
