If true, we would be getting bent over.

How would we be getting bent over by receiving a two time pro-bowler and a playmaking linebacker for 26 spots in the draft?

Who's to say we wouldn't still get one of the D-lineman that we are looking at with the 31st pick?

What if Washington is more hurt than they are letting on?

Makes sense to me...does it scare you too that we're starting to agree more lately?

Good Points.

Have we heard much about Washingtons recovery?

IMO the 6th pick in this draft is not going to get us a player of Briggs' quality. He would start straight away, making an immediate impact and we already know how good he is.

Could there also be a chance of trading Marshall for a 4th or 5th round pick? Seems we'd cut him anyway, why not try for another pick.

That said, our needs are clearly D-Line. I am on the (d)fence on this trade, there are good points and bad points, i think it would all depend on what we can get for Marshall and who we took with the 31st.

there is no way on this earth we'd cut marshall besides a career ending injury. he has 2 years left on his deal at vet min. even if he's only your #4, you can't beat his contract value.

They need Marshall. He is insurance on the inside and outside. Also, he will see some decent playing time even though he may not start.

Good point, but even vet min could be wasted money if we could trade him and get depth some where with a greater need. Seems like Rocky would be a very good back up at this point at LB.

Do you think that anyone would want to trade for him?

If so, what is he worth? He can play several positions and would be a good additon to alot of teams.

It's a sweet deal for a guy who played out his rookie contract only to be hit with the franchise tag by the Bears, which means he would get $7.2 million for one year. The tricky part now for agent Drew Rosenhaus and Briggs is getting the Bears to go along with the plan. That isn't going to happen very quickly. ''We're going to take it under advisement, and if it is something we're going to pursue, we'll get back to them,'' Bears GM Jerry Angelo said. ''We are not negotiating through the media.'' Team president Ted Phillips added: ''Our position has been made pretty clear on this.''.

If the above story is true, and we do in fact trade for Briggs (two big ifs), I will puke. $7.5M per season and $20M guaranteed for a OLB? That's CB money, even in today's hyperinflated market.

So the deal isn't dead. Maybe it wasn't a "joke" ?
