 So... will Briggs sit out?
Lay down your bets folks. I love it when the competition starts falling apart.
I believe this is Angelo's first time slapping a franchise tag on a player? If so I don't think he'll be doing it again anytime soon.

The Bears are a mess of an organization, I honestly don't think they will trade the guy. Rather just retain his rights for a year. Crazy.

Ha! I thought this would get your goat up. Don't worry, Bears will still do well this year, they have an all-pro in Grossman.

He'll miss a couple games like Branch last year, but they'll trade him

If he sits out I hope they just let him in the hopes that sitting out a year will decrease his market value.

Sometimes I hate professional athletes. What it must be like to feel like making $7.2 million a year isn't a fair deal and that you'd rather go on strike than settle for that paltry sum. Idiots.

Fairness in pay is mostly relative, having to do mostly with supply and demand. Briggs is missing out on a much bigger payday because of the franchise tag and he's probably complaining because he thinks that Chicago won't give him a "fair" contract.
