Do we even have the room under the cap to pull off such a deal?
A lot of times, there is a "leak" from someone in the orginization, and some glue sniffing intern might have heard that the Bears brass was interested in this deal, (why wouldn't they be?) and then instantly thought it was news worthy. I just don't think the Skins brass are THAT dumb. I know they have been fairly dumb on certain moves, but not THAT dumb.

The difference with this is that two seperate sources, NFL Network and Jay Glazer, reported this. So the talks, at least, are factual.

Not sure how much that means at this point. So we've contacted the Bears about Briggs. Maybe it's just due process. Who knows at this point?
