Da Bears want Marshall

I like Marshall, but honestly, getting Briggs eliminates a lot of the use he would have on this team. If we honestly think that Briggs is all that, I'm not sure why we couldn't spare Marshall.

Totally agree. Marshall is lucky to have a use anymore with an every down middle like Fletch.....If injury...we have much better LBs to replace Marshall. He proved he is much much to small last season.
Bears know it, we know it, kudos to the bears to try and scrape something else outta this.

Huh? If Fletcher gets hurt who would play the middle? Better Lb's to replace Marshall? Who? He was hurt all year last year and no one was good enough to bump him even as poorly as he played.

We need MLB depth for next year otherwise we are closing our eyes and wishing for the best.

If you remember Marshall played very well at weakside in 04 which is his natural position. He IS NOT a middle LB. But he can play well at weakside where he filled in for Lavar in 04 on a top 5 NFL defense.

How about our joke of a FO stop chasing big name players, move Marsahall back at weakside to compete w/ Rocky and go for more pressing needs? This whole Briggs trade proposal is such a joke it's not even funny. Briggs is going to be playing behind highway 99. Let's see how good he is when he's got highway 99 being pushed back into his area. Let's see how good he is then.

So you think its logical, we trade the 6th overall pick in the draft and a guy who was our starting MLB until this year for a system LB, (the same system i believe that created Warrick Holdman) and the 31st overall pick in the draft, please tell me how we gain anyground here, we give up a cheap serviceable LB for a guy who has had two good seasons in a great system for LBs and then turn around and pay him 20 mil guarenteed, are you not the same guy that thinks its a terrible idea to draft Calvin Johnson? how is this any better? No one really knows how good he is until he gets away from Chicago, this reminds me of Trotter a little bit too much, the only difference is we only had to give up money for Trotter, not drop 25 spots in the draft

I agree....And don't forget that contract he'll sign that will haunt the team for years to come. A team that is always up against the cap is always looking to sign the most expensive players in the league, and damm the consequences. It does not take long to grow completely frustrated by some of the moves this team continues to consider making. Fix the area of the team that needs fixing, the D-line--LB is not a pressing need for this team, therefore there is no NEED for Briggs at this time.
