Bears expect Briggs to play

The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo is expecting LB Lance Briggs to play with the team in 2007. Briggs recently said he wants out of Chicago, and he wants the team to either remove the franchise tag or trade him. Angelo said, "We have his rights, so he's on our football team. We feel that we're treating him very good. That's a lot of money he's making on a one year-deal. The strain really comes to us in terms of our cap and what we have to do for a one-year deal."

Have Lance call Mike McKenzie to see how the sore hamstring gambit works.

Jones...Briggs...I hope this is the beginning of the end for the Bears.

The Raiders demonstrated how losing a Super Bowl can destroy a fragile franchise.

The Bears are constructed the same way.

A good D with the key men straining the salary cap and a QB that ain't in charge.

This could be some fun to watch.

Bears expect Briggs to play.
Packers expect Walker to play.
Packers expect McKenzie to play.

I might have some idea of how this one ends.

I predict Matt Millen will trade the 2nd pick of the draft for Briggs and then move him to Wide Receiver.

Bears expect Briggs to play.
Packers expect Walker to play.
Packers expect McKenzie to play.

I might have some idea of how this one ends.

By the end, I think the Packers actually thought Walker would not play for them. Would have been interesting to see if he stuck to that plan. Not good for morale, but interesting.

At least we had walker and mckenzie under contract at the time.
