Lance Briggs Is a Dirty Welcher
Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs then:
“I am now prepared to sit out the year if the Bears don’t trade me or release me…. I’ve played my last snap for them. I’ll never play another down for Chicago again… People think I can’t afford to sit out the year, I can take out loans to get me through that year just fine because eventually I’ll have a deal somewhere. There are things I can do to make sure I’m fine financially if I sit out.”
Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs now:
Lance Briggs is going to play and not sit. The Chicago Bears Pro Bowl linebacker agreed to a one-year, $7.2 million contract Wednesday as the team’s franchise player…
The deal came together after the Bears agreed to not put the franchise tag on Briggs in 2008 and give the linebacker a $1 million advance, agent Drew Rosenhaus said.
Wuss.
Then again, I suppose it’s a lot easier to welch on your word when you’ve got $7.2 million guaranteed sitting on the table, isn’t it?

I’m just glad he came tohis senses and I hope he has a great year and we sign him to a long contract next year so he can be a Bear for ever, Like Urlacher. BEAR DOWN!
