The real problem here is Drew Rosenhaus... The Bears offered him an EXCELLENT contract extension, but as is typical with Drew he is overbetting his draw.
I do believe that Briggs is a huge part of this defense though and if they can't work it out, it wouldn't help the Bears cause.
Everyone brings up Rosie Colvin like he's some stud with New England. He's not. Sure, the biggest thing is he had a career threatening injury and hasn't been the same player since. And you could say, if it wasn't for the injury etc... The fact remains though isn't the impact player he was so people need to quit using this as an example.
The Bears over the last 5 years have been very aggressive signing their players to extension. I thought their offer to Briggs is fair and maybe the Bears can up it to 35 Million, but there is no way he will get the 40 mill Rosenhaus thinks he can get...
I'm no Bears apologist and will be the first to slap them around when I see fit, but I'm sick of this dopey agent pulling this crap...
