Ok the Briggs thing...

[acehole]

"Having failed last spring to consummate a long-term contract with Briggs -- reportedly a seven-year, $33 million deal on which both sides worked for several weeks before the negotiations collapsed -- the Bears employed the franchise tag last week to keep the four-year veteran off the open market."

If he can stuff the run why not? I would pay him that.....over 7?

Pretty sure there is no restriction on contract length, but any signing bonus can only be amortized over six or seven years, max.
