Willis990 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Below is a rumor of Briggs to the Pats for one of their 2 first round picks: e. He said the Bears had a seven-year, $33-million contract offer on the table for Lance Briggs last year, but haven't offered him a multi-year deal this offseason. It's either play the year at $7.2 million (poor guy), sit out (he'll never do that) or hope some team comes to the Bears (the Patriots?) and says, "We'll give you a low first-round pick for Briggs,'' and then signs him to a $7 million-a-year deal with $20 million guaranteed.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 thats not even a rumor. thats a guess at an example for a prediction.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis990 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 thats not even a rumor. thats a guess at an example for a prediction.... I know that Jerry Angelo and Belichick are best friends and I remember when the Pats traded for Ted Washington there were whispers that Angelo pretty much gave him away. Not saying he will give Briggs away but maybe Belichick gets the first shot to make a fair deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 right, but as of now, there isnt even a rumor of that happening. it was just a guess at an example when speaking of a possible option. lets not get crazy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paup 1995MVP Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Below is a rumor of Briggs to the Pats for one of their 2 first round picks: e.

First of all, Peter King loves the Patriots beyond any other team. Read his Monday column regularly and you will see that Brady can do no wrong, and that every move Belichik makes is unparalleled. (Does Robert Kraft pay his salary?) That being said, the Bears would be downright stupid to trade Briggs for a low first round pick. If they were really considering doing that, than the Bills need to get in the action. Trade down from 12 a few spots, and pick up the best available player at RB,DT,CB,or LB with say the 15th or 16th pick. Than take the extra third, packaging it with our 2nd and trade back up into the first round. Use that late first rounder and trade it to the Bears for Briggs. Give him a big, but fair contract, and we are set at outside linebacker. To save cap space we would probably have to cut TKO. How about a linebacking group of Briggs, Willis, Crowell, and Ellison? A guy can dream can't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could sit out the first six games, it would not suprise me,as he said he is used to living on little money(ha ha ha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
