Mark28 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I was on another message board (warpath) and someone posted an article saying the Bills and Giants have offered their first rounders for Briggs also. Being that the Bears don't like paying players this might be more appealing to them as they would pay less at either 12 or 20. Research yourself. Just an FYI...

lovetoaster Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Good! I really do not want to make this deal. I like Briggs, but I just do not hink it is the right move for us right now. I don't even care if he goes to someone else in our division, we just need pieces in other places right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well also, our sixth pick does not really work with them, because nothing they need will go that high. So they would trade down anyways. I am sure they will be able to get a little more in return from another team instead of making two seperate deals. Supposedly they are not very pleased with us for making a lot of this public. Maybe that was our intention, who knows? I just hope they take their Briggs and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crist Editor in Chief Date: Mar 29, 2007 The longer Washington's trade offer for Lance Briggs sits on the table, the greater the chance it probably dies a slow death. The Bears are wise to hold on to the Pro Bowl linebacker for now because his value could escalate as the NFL Draft nears. Although the Redskins appear to be the most anxious to make a deal, Scout.com has learned that a few more teams have made inquiries. Click here to read the rest of this story...

FunBunch7 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The last I checked the Bills need a running back...they should trade up and get the 6th pick from us for their 1st rounder and maybe they could throw in a 2nd or 3rd rounder...they could then possible get Adrianne Peterson...THEN... We take the 1st rounder they gave us and do the Briggs trade. Then we have the same deal that is on the table and we get an extra pick...damn...I should be the GM!

Honestly, this is not a bad idea, and this would proabably be one of the few scenarios where I would be in favor of the proposed Briggs deal. Good call FunBunch7.

I know they don't want to pay the 6th pick what he is going to get but why wouldn't they just turn around and trade down with the pick thereby getting a midround 1st rounder and several other good picks.

Hitman#21 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Lets hope the giants dont get him ill do this trade just for him not to go to the giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsManNJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I don't know bout all that homey that's a little far fetched. . Plus the fact we don't need lance briggs. If anything briggs will be elsewhere and we probally move up and take CJ or move down and get more picks that way. Let Buffalo get him so if he does work out them we only have to see him every 3yrs. Compared to twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyno Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 it would be absolutely silly to take an offer from another team less than the value of the #6, regarless of chicago's spending habits.

Plus, they don't have to reach for a player at the five positions of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I have a strange feeling that we are going to give up too much for Briggs. The Skins should be the ones pulling the strings, but I feel like the Bears are going to get the last laugh. Also, I have seen where Angelo said that no other teams have been interested. It worries me that we are interested in a linebacker that 30-31 other teams can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
