Another Briggs Thread-More Teams Entering the Bidding?

[MTK]

You've gotta give Rosenhaus credit, Briggs has been a headline for a week now and it's only going to end with his client getting a nice payday from somebody. Let's just hope it's not from us.

I'm a Chicago Bears fan checking in to see what Skins fans think about the Briggs trade idea. From the looks of things you hate it as much as we do.

-For us, there is no one we need at #6. The bears need G, TE, WR and LB. If we took anybody to fill those slots it would be a huge reach.

-Giving up #31 is a bad idea as there are so many good players in this draft that would fill one of the needs I described.

-Trading Briggs would require us using our second round chocie on a LB so nothing is gained.

-Briggs is an all-pro stud even if you think he benefits from the Bears defensive system or having Urlacher next to him

-You don't need him as you have a decent LB corp. The Giants or Bills have a real need for this guy

Not trying to stir the pot, just telling you we hate the idea as much as you do.

welcome, and i hope you stick around. while i don't like the trade, i could live with it. there are alot worse things then getting an all pro linebacker. remember, randy moss is still available

Thanks. BTW, I'm impressed with the quality of the posts here and the knowledge of the posters. I stopped over at the Jet's board after the Bears gave away Thomas Jones and while the enthusiasm is high the quality of analysis is a bit less. I have never seen a proposed trade that BOTH teams' fans hate so much as the Briggs deal

That's his job. He's the best at it.

I would think the dust would be settlin pretty soon on this deal, one way or the other.
