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

Haven't caught much of this Briggs thing? Kinda caught of guard by this whole thing, didn't know we where in the market. What are we thinking about here?

Yes Briggs is a solid young LB. Is it worth the cost?

When I think of Briggs the first thing that comes to mind is me and I, not team. I'm not playing for Chicago this year, I'll just sit out? What kinda crap is that......your under contract. I'm not so sure about this one. Is there a problem with MW hip healing properly?

He was not under contract he we forced to stay with a franchise tag. I guess that could be argued as under contract but if he gets injured this year what kind of contract will they offer him in the following year? Nothing, and thats the problem with the franchise tag. I think we argue that our team does not take care of our players and isn't that what the Bears are doing.

As per the CBA the union and the players agreed. They have all the right to franchise tag any player they choose. The player at that point has no right but to play for top tier dollars, THAT MUST SUCK. You are under contact if tagged.
