John Mullin, of the Chicago Tribune, reports New York Giants LB Antonio Pierce has spoke with Chicago Bears LB Lance Briggs about joining the Giants this offseason. Briggs, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March, is a friend and former college teammate with Pierce. "I talked to him about that," Briggs said, "I told him, 'If it doesn't work out in Chicago, maybe.'" There has been speculation the Bears intend to use the franchise tag on Briggs, which would restrict his availability this offseason.
