ok, i have read the posts where the chicago bears and Commanders are talking trade, and saw it on espn, more than anything it drew rosenhaus, or however u spell his name that is orchestrating the trade for the Commanders to the bears.
first, let me say that the bears should not trade briggs to the dead Commanders, just to swap a draft pick, the Commanders for the bears, # 6 to # 31, all the bears are doing is just swapping, they arent getting a draft pick for value. True value.
as you all know briggs is at least worth a # 1 draft choice all by himself, certainly not a swap on # 1 picks. to me, the bears should say, ok Commanders and drew rosenhause, give us the swap, but throw in your 3rd round draft choice too, along with the 6th round draft choice we gave you for archeleta.
next, as you all know, the Commanders were under the cap, about 2 million, they had to restructure players contracts to get them under, then when they traded archeleta, they had to eat some of that money. Plus, they have a draft choice that they have to have cap money for. And you all know, to sign Briggs about 7 milion a year, with 12 to 20 million guaranteed, that is about 2.5 million that they have to have extra cap money for.
so to me, it seems the stinking Commanders are at it again, manipulating the cap money. If i was Briggs, i sure would have drew rosenhaus be sure and go over that contract to be sure they dont gip him out of some money. We all remember how they got lavar arrington out of 6 million dollars in cap money. So, i would watch it briggs and drew, watch the fine print.
