The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo is expecting LB Lance Briggs to play with the team in 2007. Briggs recently said he wants out of Chicago, and he wants the team to either remove the franchise tag or trade him. Angelo said, "We have his rights, so he's on our football team. We feel that we're treating him very good. That's a lot of money he's making on a one year-deal. The strain really comes to us in terms of our cap and what we have to do for a one-year deal."

Sounds like Angelo is scurrying to save his own butt

Typical response from a gm. We will see Brigg's resolve. I believe if he holds his ground he will be able to force a trade.

Screw you, Angelo. Send Lance our way.

The Bears owners are no doubt the cheapest in the league. Dan Patrick had a segment about them today, makes me sick.

Very WELL, Mr. Angelo. If you're the GM of an NFL team please at least use proper grammar.
