    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Redskins will reportedly swap first-round draft picks in this year's draft in exchange for Briggs. The Redskins currently own the sixth overall pick while Chicago has the 31st pick.

    The potential deal reportedly hinges on the Redskins' ability to sign Briggs to a long-term contract, something Chicago couldn't accomplish this offseason.</div>
    If I were Washington, I'd ask for say a third this year as thats a long way to drop.

    Does that seem like the right price? I would think Chitown could get better than just a pick swap. What do ya think?

    they are also picking up a Pro-Bowl linebacker who is very very young and doesn't have an injury history

    Going from 31 to 6th overall is essentially like picking up a mid 1st round pick so I'd say the Bears are getting a great deal for a guy that is probably gone after this year.

    Good deal for the Bears, great deal for the Redskins. The Redskins are really trying to get their defense better, lol. If they end up adding Briggs, that'll be quite the addition the linebacking core, along with London Fletcher. I can't imagine what the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles are thinking right now, lol.

    Ok first i am not ready to give up on Rex.. He led us to the superbowl his first full season.. Yea it was bumpy.. and in some cases very dominating.. rex has bought himself sometime.. He needs to improve the small thing.. I do not want to see chicago Draft a QB in the first round.. I think the Bears should go offensive line.. the group we have is getting old and we need to start getting replacements

    I read somewhere that Chocago was getting ready to make a counterproposal to Washington.

    Further, (GM) Angelo believes it may be impossible for them to resign Briggs.

    I can see us going after Beason early in the second round.. And an OL late in the first!! I just don't see angelo taking the #6 overall pick!!
