The latest on Briggs: Bears want more

[Hog1]

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

[firstdown]

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.

[Drift Reality]

If we trade #6 and McIntosh for Briggs and the #29, I am going to become a New England Patriots fan until Dan Snyder is banned from the NFL for making under-the-table deals with Drew Rosenhaus.

What's annoyed me about the comments on this trade has been that people (including in this article) are saying the deal is in the Bears favor.
Despite what any draft point system says, on paper this is a really good deal for us, we get 2 players & they get 1.

However, I'm worried about this deal for team chemistry & cap reasons. If we throw in another player, this deal doesn't even look good on paper.

I hope Denver's signing Bly doesn't bust their cap space to the point that they don't want the #6 anymore. They have the picks to offer.

That's true, but also think of what we're TRASHING (2 2nd rounders) by basically giving up on Rocky.

Rocky, Lemar, Golston- either way it stinks. And it's repeating our pattern of ignoring the value of the draft.

If we ship off Rocky, we're never even giving a guy we traded THREE picks to get a chance to showcase his skills as a starter. We gave the Jets our 2nd rounder last year (53rd overall), plus our 2nd and 6th rounders this year. So that would be giving up on a player AND FOUR DRAFT PICKS (I'm counting our 6th overall this year) before we even give him a shot to really play. Lunacy.

If we ship off Golston we are getting rid of yet another draft pick who ended up being somewhat of a steal. He played well when Salave'a got hurt, and ummm hello, we DESPERATELY need help on the D-line!! So including the 6th pick there are two more draft picks down the drain.

If we ship off Lemar, were are losing a leader who will provide valuable depth at both OLB and MLB, and he's a "core redskin" according to Joe. This would definitely not sit well in the locker room- trading him away to bring in a guy who refuses to go play for the defending NFC champs and a world class defense for $7M a year.

If this trade happens, Joe Gibbs owes it to the fans to have a Q & A session so we can find out where he gets crack. This is sickening. Another case of a FA wanting to come play for the Danny and get paid. I knew that week in Arizona was gonna be bad for us.

agreed, I don't want the 1st Briggs deal, but I think it is a good value. Adding another player really negates the value of the deal, and as you mention we'd still have the chemistry issue w/bringing in a guy w/20 mil guaranteed.

[skinsfan242]

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.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

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.

i know it is just i never made any posts that big before i just thought it would be funny to go big and then at the end make it small i didnt mean anything by it

[MTK]

Let's be clear that it's the Bears that want more, the Redskins aren't offering more.

Yet.

[offiss]

The bears must really think we are stupid? And thier right!
