Does anyone have any updated news? I'm reading conflicting reports saying that TJ showed up for his physical, but Briggs didn't and is still expecting to hold out.

1. What mood will Thomas Jones and Lance Briggs be in?
At least they are here. Jones and Briggs will be at Halas Hall on Friday after leaving voluntary team workouts in late April.
Jones has been working out individually. Seeking more money and annoyed with the Cedric Benson situation, he has made it clear he would be receptive to a trade.
Briggs stopped attending voluntary team functions shortly after talks on a long-term contract extension broke down before the draft. The Bears subsequently have pulled their offer and picked linebacker Jamar Williams in the fourth round.
