Report: Hearing to find if 49ers tampered with Briggs
11:55 PM CDT, March 15, 2008
A hearing is scheduled in New York City on Monday to help determine if the 49ers tampered with Bears linebacker Lance Briggs or his agent last season, according to a report on foxsports.com Saturday.
The Bears believe the 49ers contacted Briggs' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, regarding a contract before being granted permission to do so. The 49ers could lose draft picks or face a fine if found guilty.
According to the report, the Bears have a large contingent flying to New York, including team President Ted Phillips and general manager Jerry Angelo, a sign they are taking the charges quite seriously.
