NFL Network: Bears' Briggs, 31st Pick for Skins' 6th Pick?

[JankySpanky80]

This is stupid. If it goes through what Defensive lineman will be available at 31.

I hope this doesn't happen unless we get OUR 2nd rounder back in this pick.

How about this, what if we were planning to make the Denver trade (6 for 21, Bly and second and third), and then trade the 21 pick (and maybe the third) for the 31 pick and Briggs. The move from 21 to 31 is worth 275 (the equivalent of a late 2nd).

Skins give up the 6th pick, get Bly, Briggs, the 31st pick and a second round pick

Denver gives up Bly, 21, second and third round picks, get the 6th pick.

Bears give up Briggs and the 31 pick, get the 21 and a third.

this works for everyone but the bears. they lose an all pro linebacker for the equivalent of a third round pick. with him carrying the franchise tag, the can do alot better

actually, its the equivalent of a second and a third, and even if we gave them the move up and a second, with us keeping the third, we would still be doing pretty good.

Actually without this trade the Bears suffer more if Briggs follows through with his "I won't play in 2007 for the Bears" statement. Puzzling why some of these other teams with a ton of money aren't making a play for Briggs, as well. Assuming they haven't behind the scenes, of course.

Are the Redskins giving up some magic beans to build a beanstalk to get all of that? Seriously, that's not a trade that would even fly on Madden.

Bears fan here in DC, I also follow the Skins alot too. As a Bears fan, I'd make this deal in a second. The Bears have the 37th pick also, so losing the 31 and gaining the 6 is a no-brainer. And Briggs while a great linebacker, is probably going to cost the Skins a monster paycheck. He turned down a huge and fair offer from the Bears last year. And while he's very good, he's also surrounded by an already very good D in Chicago, especially with Urlacher next to him. So as a Bears fan I'm drooling over this....the Redskins fan in me says stay away.

[diehardskin2982]

I read this was put together by drew rosenhaus, dan snyder, and Vinny C... I just hope Gibbs vetos the deal because it is absolutley an idoitic deal... I guess their strategy is get Briggs and take Merriweather with 31 but still it is stupid Gibbs SAY NO

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

If the Bears threw in their 3rd rounder, Briggs doesn't ask for a $18M+ signing bonus, and the coaches think there's a starting-caliber DT/DE at #31, I wouldn't be opposed to the trade.

Dose anyone know what is Washington health...is his hip that bad or is this all guess work?

[The Zimmermans]

This is a ticket selling money making pick. Not loving the idea of bringin in FA linebacker to learn new system when we can get a fresh college kid and mold him for much less. If we got two picks out of the deal maybe, but that's not in the cards.

[skinsfan242]

Plain and Simple: This is a great deal if we get a second or third round pick. This is a really great deal if we get the 31st and 37th. We get screwed if we just get the 31st.

Well said. I got no problem with Briggs and think he'd be a good player for us. But the fact is we need more players than just him and whatever the 31 will buy us. Put another pick in the deal (a 3rd rounder would do) and I'd be on board.
