After posting 13 tackles (11 solo) in the big game where doyou guys think he'll land????

Or will he stay in CHICAGO???

I've also read that the Bears would probably place the franchise tag on Briggs to keep him.

 

[jgb95]

Music to my ears!!!!

:gets down on knees to pray:

Philadelphia?

 

[lions327]

I can't see the Bears not placing the franchise tag on him.

 

[Cannon Fodder]

BUFFALO!!!!! (where's the praying smiley?)

 

[jgb95]

At MLB or WLB???

 

[TME]

Yeah, his inability to help contain Addai out of the backfield on checkdowns or stop Rhodes or Addai on the run was "great."

But seriously, all signs seem to indicate that he will be franchised this year. I believe they have until late Feb to do so.

Antonio Pierce has been recruiting him to come play for the NY Giants. I agree with those who think the Bears will franchise him.

Chicago Sun-Times sound pretty confident the Bears will franchise him. The tag figure will be $7.206 million.

There's also a nice picture on that page of Dom Rhodes jumping straight over the top of him yesterday.

I wonder how quickly Rosenhaus tell him to hold out of summer work once they do?

Man I can't stand Drew Rosenhaus. Stands for almost everything that's wrong about sport.

Could not disagree more. Drew is just an agent working to secure the best deal possible for his clients (and he is not known for holdouts). What does that have to do with the product on the field. From his book of business, I'd say he is rather successful and is a champion for players. I hope Briggs receives a huge payday. The guy deserves it. With the potential physical damage (like Ted Washington) present in the modern day NFL, he should at least get paid for the risk.

Sorry to stray from the OP's topic, but dude, your post says it all. Sport is not all about money. It's sad that people believe it is, however. Of course Briggs deserves a payday, but in the end it's just a game.

The Bears would be crazy not to put the franchise tag on him.

Dude, seriously money is a big part of the equation. In a sport where every game could be your last payday, not only due to injury but non guaranteed contracts also, it's is very prudent to get as much $$$ as possible especially when it is deserved. It's admirable to let on that it's not for the money but it's a job and we all feel we should get as much compensation as we possibly can.

I was referring to sport, not the NFL, not even professional sport. 99.9% of people around the world don't play sport for money. It is great that money exists in sport - it gives people like me great jobs. But it's not the be all and end all. Surely you can understand that.Sorry to get off topic guys.
