Offer Barnett for Briggs!!

[Partial]

He wants out. If TT was smart he'd jump at this chance to exploit our foe and rob them blind.

Unfortunately, its all a dream in my head since we're in the same division. Aw shucks.

Yes, but it's a beautiful enchanting dream!

Plus the whole fact that they have a middle linebacker in (G)urlacher, and can Barnett play an outside position, and can Briggs play a middle postion

Good players can play any number of positions. I think Briggs or Hawk would do great in the middle.

Barnett is an OLB to begin with. Don't get yourself. He would thrive at WLB in a tampa 2.

Even if Chicago weren't in our division, there's no reason for them to make that trade, I don't care how unhappy Briggs might be.

Except he'll walk next year. No way do they franchise him twice and pay him 13 mil a year.

Using that logic, there was no reason to trade Javon Walker, either.

No, he won't walk, he'll become one of the highest paid free agents on the market. He wouldn't agree to a trade deal with GB unless he were offered that kind of cash long term. If you'll recall, he's not under contract with the Bears. We don't just pick up his contract. Walker was under contract with us.

I think he would take 5 years 40 million which is what Barnett thinks he as the 20th best MLB is worth. To bad it is a dream. By all accounts TT has shown he will not budge from what he thinks is a fair contract I think Barnett's career as a Packer is over unless he takes less than I expect.

He is "under contract" with the Bears. He has a one year deal at the average of the 5 highest paid LB in the league. Unless they retract the offer, he either is forced to accept it or retire.

It's not like players choose to be franchised or not. If it was up to him, I am sure he would not be.

Damn, thats a lotta cash. If that was the case, they should at least franchise him and trade him.

He has the choice to simply not play or to play for a couple of games and be "injured."

[MJZiggy]

And the Bears don't deal with the Packers so it doesn't matter if they would. They don't.

That doesn't work. He can either retire for a full year and ruin his career, play under the tag, or try to negoiate some third option.

You're kinda bitter today. Jeez. I don't believe that to be true, either.

this entire thread is dumb...Nick Barnett has told TT he'd like an extention and would like to retire a Green Bay Packer. He's not going to hold out, he's not going to say anything badly, he's going to keep it all in house. Then if we trade him, who plays the middle? Abdul Hodge? Doubtful. Even Barnett is 1000000000 times better than him.
