As SportsNite on Comcast Sports Net went off the air, they mentioned an intresting trade rumor regarding the Bears and Lance Briggs. The Redskins are reportedly offering the sixth pick in the upcoming draft to the Bears for Briggs and the Bears first round pick, #31. Obviously, getting the #37 pick from the Jets in exchange for Thomas Jones makes the trade a possibility. I love Briggs, but he's being a complete thug right now. If he's gonna keep up his whole "I'm never playing another down for the Bears again" thing, then this would be a great trade. Ideally, I'd rather the Bears just sign Briggs to a long extension (they had $17 million in cap room before the Anthony Adams signing) then trade him, but I'm shocked that the Bears could still get this much value for Briggs after he basically demanded a trade. Usually that kills someone's trade value, like it did for the Toronto Raptors when they traded Vince Carter to the Nets for the center formerly known as Alonzo Mourning. I say if the Bears don't want to give Briggs a long term deal, and if he isn't going to play with a franchise tag, then make this trade. Apparently, Briggs is meeting tommarow with Jerry Angelo to see if they can work something out. With that sixth pick the Bears could have their choice of guys like Amobi Okoye, Alan Branch, LaRon Landry, Patrick Willis, or Gaines Adams.
Mock Draft coming soon...5 picks at a time.
