bubba9497 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/rosenblog/2007/04/briggs_trade_st.html click link for full article Briggs trade still on ... or is it? The Washington Post is reporting that NFL sources are saying there’s a 50-50 chance that Lance Briggs will be traded to the Redskins before the sixth pick in tomorrow’s NFL draft. The story says one trade scenario is mostly what you’ve heard -- the sixth pick for Briggs and the Bears’ 31st pick. But the story says the teams have discussed other scenarios. By the way, the guy the Bears supposedly wanted in the trade but whom the Redskins refused to include -- Rocky McIntosh -- has knee problems. So, this whole thing continues to get dumber. Whatever, with the sixth or 31st pick in the first round of the 2007 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select … someone with priors. Look, with Jerry Angelo’s history, it’s a race to see whether his draft picks get a starting job before they get arrested. What NFL teams will do in the draft is one thing. What they should do is a whole other kind of mock draft. And what the Bears should do is draft a wide receiver, it says here. History says either JaMarcus Russell or Brady Quinn will be a miserable failure. Question is, which one? Answer is, whichever quarterback is taken by the Lions. With the first pick in the 2007 NFL draft, the Oakland Raiders select … the wrong player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyf316 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Entirely contradictory to Clayton's report, huh? Not surprised that a Chicago newspaper is holding on to it for dear life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingtar Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Rocky had a scope his senior year at the U I believe. He has high first round talent, but dropped due to injury. I think he went in to have the knee cleaned up in January, but that is not unusual. He could have had fluid buildup or some weird scar tissue that needed work. I think Rocky's knees are fine.

skinsn24 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 when did Rocky get bad knees? This was actually posted in a prior thread, at miami one year he missed a bunch of games with knee problems, then later missed more time with shoulder problems.I guess he has a little history of injuries, but the same report said when healthy he won his starting job back. so who knows?

turtle Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hopefully this won't happen. We don't need Briggs right now. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl Bears | Team not willing to make Briggs trade Fri, 27 Apr 2007 16:16:03 -0700 Adam Schefter, of NFL Network, reports the Chicago Bears do not want to make the trade with the Washington Redskins for LB Lance Briggs as it currently stands. Under the current proposal, the Bears would trade Briggs and the 31st overall pick for the sixth overall pick. The Bears are unwilling because they would then want to trade down to accumulate picks, but no team seems to want to offer what the Bears would want for the sixth pick.

Just sits wrong with me. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
