    Whats going on with L.Briggs?

    I know he plays as an OLB in the 4-3, but why not line him up next to D.Haris as the #2 ILB? He's the perfect size also

    T.Brusci is listed at 6'1 and 247 pounds...

    L.Briggs is listed as 6'1 and 240 pounds... Maybe a little small but im sure he would be GREAT in this 3-4 Defense

    Wouldn't Briggs be in the same mold as Vilma?

    Wouldn't Colvin be a better fit?

    Just asking.

    Seems like Briggs will go to CHI, NO or WSH. Maybe SF but they might be careful after tampering charges.

    I don't think he'd be a good fit, and I think he's even said as much himself.

    Colvin got cut. He knows the system, he can play in our D, and can rush the passer.

    I'm suprised the Jets are not looking at him. Unless he is hurt.

    Oh for God's sake...there is no way we are signing Briggs. The guy will demand more money than Faneca!

    It was just a thought... I know im thinking Madden crazy... But Gholston, Briggs, Harris, Pace would be the best LB's in the leauge with a D-Line that has Coleman, Jenkins and Ellis, with a secondary that has Revis and Rhodes, lol

    According to the Chicago Sun Times, the Bears have resigned Lance Briggs to a six year 36 million dollar contract. At least there's hope for the Bears now
