I'm not worried about Briggs age. I'm worried that if he's signed his tender (I don't know if he has), he has a valid one-year deal for 8.something. It seems that we're assuming that Thomas will sign a long term deal if we trade for him. If we do, it won't come cheap, since he's set up for UFA next year.
On second thought, I don't think you can trade a tagged player. So the Patriots and Briggs would have to come to a contract agreement, and the Bears would have to withdraw the unsigned tag.
Don't get me wrong, Briggs is a great player. He was my #2 target in FA (after Thomas). However, I don't really see a trade scenario that makes sense to all parties.
