I mean I see where Briggs is coming from but he needs to understand that they cant make a deal this year because of cap issues Im assuming? I just dont think its a fair deal. The redskins get a pro bowler plus they still get a pick in the 1st round and get a quality player. The Bears get #6 which so far isnt a big commodity this year.

there are probably about 75 pages of threads you can get the full scoop about, but here's the cliff notes version:
it has nothing to do with the bears not having cap room. the bears offered briggs a $33M deal w/ 16M guaranteed last march, briggs turned it down. the bears told him if they couldn't reach a deal before last season they'd franchise tag him. they did, and here we are.
