Bears | Team rejects Redskins' trade offer for Briggs
Tue, 3 Apr 2007 10:45:27 -0700

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports as of right now, the proposed deal sending Chicago Bears LB Lance Briggs and the No. 31 overall pick in the NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins for the No. 6 overall pick is off the table after Bears general manager Jerry Angelo rejected the deal. According to sources, Angelo phoned the Redskins Tuesday, April 3, with his decision. The deal, however, may not be lost for good. The Bears would like to include LB Rocky McIntosh in the deal. The Redskins, however, do not want to part with McIntosh.

Maybe the Bills will now get into these trade talks.

I dont know if we will or not but I sure love it when a team (whether it makes sense or not) delivers a big ol fat "go **** yourself assface" to danny snyder, jones or any of thier cronies.

Re: Bears reject Redskins trade offer

The Bears are such a cheap ass organization it makes me sick. We think we have a cheap owner? They won't even take this trade because they don't want to have to pay a #6 overall pick. I would be pissed as a fan if I followed the Bears.

So would Bears go for no 12 and NO player?

Seems we must give up something more

Bears are not even making a counter offer lol, thats great. Sounds like they are sending a message to rosenbaby in my opinion.

Too bad we didn't hold on to Spikes, maybe they would have taken Spikes and the number twelve.

umm, the Redskins are currently asking for a swap of picks. That's a lot different than just giving a straight up pick.

Sorry that was what I meant.

They did, they wanted McIntosh and the Skins said no way.

According to the trade chart the difference in picks is worth 1000 points, which is the value of the #16 overall pick. Thus, Chicago is looking for value greater than the 16th overall pick.

The only chart that matters for the Bears is the salary chart.

They are still convinced that Grossman is their guy, and if they had the 6th pick there would be a fan revolt if they passed on Quinn, if he was still there.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Re: Bears reject Redskins trade offer

Quinn won't be there at #12 for sure.

Should we offer that straight up? Will they take it?

Personally I'd rather have Willis than Briggs, but if Willis could be gone at #12, grabbing Briggs in the first round is still a great pick.

RALPH WILSON WILL NOT PAY A $15 MILLION DOLLAR SIGNING BONUS AND A $8 MILLION DOLLAR SALARY.

Re: Bears reject Redskins trade offer

What does a rookie contract look like at #12 anyway?
