briggs 4 portis helllllllllllllllllllll no! first of all that would mean we are giving up on rocky who we traded up to get. he's gonna get atleast a year ta prove he's a starter. Second the bears are finally giving benson a chance ta earn his money.thats y they gave up their leading rusher. and betts is not a proven starter like clinton, thats why he resigned with us to be a backup a pretty good back up!!!! we DONT need anyone elses problems. 25475

I say you trade rickey williams for briggs when rickey comes back!! Who cares about briggs its all about the system he is in!!! he is going to be a free agent after this 6-10 season that the bears are going to have!! I think the best possiable trade would be samuel for briggs what do you think?? the pats get younger at lb and the bears get a much needed cb. But he wants a contract also o well da bears are stuck!! haha 25463

Briggs for Culpepper!! Culpepper will return to his Superstar form in a month or two. With Chicago defense and improvement on offense, and Culpepper at the helm after Grossman chokes again. The bears will have a clear shot to the superbowl again. 23991

What about Briggs for McNabb which helps the Eagles defense and helps calm the Bears's fears about Rex Grossman if he tanks again this season, and then the eagles could pick up Culpepper once he is released. Seems like a win-win to me. 23049

Why don't Briggs just "man-up" and take the money? Granted, it's only one year, but it's GUARANTEED for crying out loud, even if he's hurt. I'm not a Bears fan, so I hope it blows up, but I think Briggs is just not usin' his head. Another big year, and he's gettin' fat money next year. Like Josh Brown said in Seatlle, "I wish they'd franchise me EVERY year". Dumb athletes... 20461

being a patriots fan I would love to have him, its to bad the dont need him, considering they have 2 more versatile players (vrable and thomas) at that position who are better than briggs and there combined salaries would equal what briggs wants. The new york giants however are a team that needs to start adding some impact players right now!!!!! They might try a second and wilkinson. If they where realy smart they would try to unload manning but would chicago bite? 18031

when I initially clicked on this article, I thought there would be some insightful and well-argued trade proposals. Instead, I find 5 ridiculously stupid mock trades for either a QB or a RB. QB or RB? What the hell? both positions are locked down by the Bear's depth and experience. The Bears aren't going to do anything about Grossman for at least a year and you have a the expensive contract Benson received that he still needs to prove. Please either find another job or give us something with more substance than this fluff you threw out. 20831

A columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer floated a trade scenario that would send Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Bears for disgruntled linebacker Lance Briggs. The Briggs' rumor mill has been quiet since the draft, but the two-time Pro Bowler was a no-show at minicamp last weekend, so maybe talk will pick up.I'll explore five possible (although logistically difficult) trade scenarios for Briggs, and I'd love to hear your theories.1. Briggs for McNabb: The Inquirer story hypothesized the Bears would only do this deal if McNabb was guaranteed to be healthy by Week 1. I think the Eagles would be hesitant to do this, because they traditionally don't like to open up the vaults for linebackers. I think they'd rather have a contract headache at quarterback, even if there is a health risk. Chicago, on the other hand, would probably love to have McNabb even if he wasn't 100 percent, no matter how many positive reports you read about Rex Grossman at minicamp.2. Briggs for Larry Johnson: Johnson is a free agent after 2007 and wants to be paid like LaDainian Tomlinson. The Chiefs denied they were shopping the star running back, but they also haven't said they're going to meet his salary demands. It's time to rebuild in K.C. and young Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker would be a nice fit. Johnson probably isn't a great long-term fit for the Bears unless they want to give up on Cedric Benson. But for one year a Johnson-Benson combo is intriguing despite being impractical. 3. Briggs for Chris Simms: The Bucs reportedly had some interest in Briggs and they have some spare parts to deal. Obviously, they'd love to ship Jake Plummer to Chicago, although Plummer maintains he's really retired. I think Tampa Bay wouldn't mind giving up Simms, who might interest Chicago if the Bucs could sweeten the deal somehow. Maybe disgruntled cornerback Brian Kelly or soon-to-retire outside linebacker Derrick Brooks could be in the deal. It's probably too late for Tampa Bay to deal Brooks without angering fans, and he's too expensive anyway, but he'd certainly be a nice one-year replacement for Briggs. 4. Briggs for Clinton Portis: The Redskins and Bears couldn't complete a deal around draft time, but maybe talks would resume if Chicago really believes Briggs will sit out the season. We know Washington will satisfy Briggs' contract demands. Portis is the one high-profile Redskin who has been mentioned in trades this offseason. The Bears' running game would be scary with a Portis-Cedric Benson 1-2 punch, and Washington could survive without the running back. And Chicago was also interested in Skins LB Rocky McIntosh in April.5. Briggs for Michael Vick: This one is as hypothetical as they come -- meaning it's not happening in this lifetime -- but it would cure a lot of headaches. Atlanta wouldn't have to deal with a possible Vick suspension and more bad publicity. And Chicago could wait out any league discipline on Vick. Now that Matt Schaub is in Houston, that would leave Joey Harrington as the Falcons QB, so I'll admit, this plan has some flaws. If you think Vick is a controversial choice to include in this list, be happy I didn't throw out Brett Favre's name. 2598 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/397/2/thumb/Perloff.jpg 540 NY
