Bears Offseason

[Sabbath]

Bears are going to have a make or break offseason this year. Four big time players are free agents.

Lance Briggs
Rex Grossman
Bernard Berrian
Brendon Ayanbendejo

We must sign Briggs. If he goes, then any chance of our defense dominating also goes. Then we should sign up Ayanbendejo and Grossman. I could care less if Berrian goes. Chicago has a way of finding decent recievers and then they suck after 1 or 2 good years.

I saw that they might switch the franchise tag from Briggs to Berrian.

I thought Briggs wants to leave?

He goes to where he gets the most money. Which looks like San Fransisco.

And no way in hell is Berrian worth 8 million or whatever they would have to pay him for the tag.

Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo didn't rule out shifting the franchise tag from one Drew Rosenhaus client, Lance Briggs, to another in Bernard Berrian — an interesting admission because it would cost nearly $8 million, the amount of guaranteed money in the long-term extension offer that Berrian, a wide receiver, swiftly rejected last summer the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
