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.
