Lance Brigs unhappy with Tag
 
Just heard on EEI that Briggs wants Chicago to remove tag and allow him to go into FA. Maybe he'll rethink not wanting to play here?;)

Could we really afford Briggs? I dont know much about how much money hes wanting, but it sounds like he wants alot.

Can't afford him, he hates the 3-4, and he's *****ing about a contract already. We're not getting him.

Wouldn't mind finding out if we could fit him. He's good and still relatively young, I think.

yes you are correct. nobody would disagree with you, but those are not the points why he will not come here.

I believe after the signing of A.T we should get some youth in this position.some rookie/younger LB in rotation.

Instead of lance spend a high pick and mid pick on 2 LB and put them in rotation ...better for us.

True.. I guess first and formost, he doesn't want to play in a 3-4 defense.

imo first and formost we cannot afford him. we have an estimated 8-12 mil of cap space left. we want to see asante resigned. i have no idea what that will cost above the 7.79 mil fanchise tag. we need to keep 5 mil open for draft picks. what about a few vets like Seau? how much will Welker get in year 1-6? my thought it is low, but we still need to keep $ open for him (1.5-3 mil???)

And as my wife says, people in Hell want ice water.

Why would Chicago ever remove the tag and allow him to go free agency?

Linebackers take more time to mature than virtually any other position.

I think we should use draft choices on players who can have a major impact during their first 4-5 years.
