If the trade offer is true I think it's only a matter of time before it happens, the Bears figured if we are dumb enough to make this deal we might be dumb enough to kick something else in, and thier probably right.

I think all we need is one more LB and we are on our way, Briggs should make all the difference in the world, let the Bears trade down and draft a LB who's unproven to play on a championship caliber team, they will probably deal down and end up with 2 pro bowlers. As for us we will find that Briggs is not a pass rusher which is what we need, nor can he take on opposing guards and tackles which is something else we need. So let's get a LB who will get knocked into the parking lot by lineman with the likes of Andre Carter getting man handled by TE's leaving tackles and guards to pancake Briggs. Not to worry after a couple of weeks of talking about this trade they will have everyone believing what a great move it is, until we actually see we are getting a good LB not a great LB, and still need D-linemen, a safety, and a front line CB, and a guard.

The fact that we even made this proposal [if true] just shows the utter stupidity and incompetency of all involved.
