Do we even have the room under the cap to pull off such a deal?
A lot of times, there is a "leak" from someone in the orginization, and some glue sniffing intern might have heard that the Bears brass was interested in this deal, (why wouldn't they be?) and then instantly thought it was news worthy. I just don't think the Skins brass are THAT dumb. I know they have been fairly dumb on certain moves, but not THAT dumb.

When the leak is reported by two of the industry's top league insiders I don't think it is premature to discuss it.

I am hoping and praying this is posturing by the Bears to up the value they can get for Briggs. Set the market type stuff.
