Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears have re-signed free-agent LB Lance Briggs (Bears) to a six-year contract worth $36 million.

Now that is surprising. I was expecting San Fran to step up and get him.

If those numbers are correct, they got him to a lot cheaper than I expected. Safeties were getting that kind of contract this year.

It's all about the guaranteed money...

Not when the overall contract is that low. Its when the overall contract is really large that you have to look more closely at the early years and guaranteed money.

I'm shocked that with all that Bad Blood he went back to Chicago.

I'm shocked that any player would sign with the Bears given their bad QB situation.

He got $12 million guaranteed.

and on a side note i thought he was a lock to be a Commander?

I read on PFT that it came down to the Commanders and Bears, both with similiar offers.
