The bears would be stupid not to accept that trade. Even dumber than washington for offering it.
Did you read the article in the link? All Washington is offering Chicago is a trade of position in the draft for Briggs. The #6 pick will cost more $ than Briggs will. On top of that if they give in to Briggs threats, every dissatified Player on the team will try to force a trade. My opinion Briggs is worth more than a swap of picks. They know what they have in Briggs, the #6 = ? Ever hear of Mike Williams -#4 or all those #1 losers Detroit has drafted.If they do trade Briggs it will be to a different team or Danny will have to sweeten the pot. ;)

Doesn't anyone wonder where they get all this money from year after year?

 

Big Market Team--that's all you need to know. A waiting list for season tix that's years long, the pricing power to charge through the roof for regular ticket holders let alone luxury box holders. It's the wave of the future, boys--we cut Takeo because we can't afford to take a chance on his injury and still have to pay him $4.6 million this year, while jackasses like Snyder will be able to spend to their heart's content, year in, year out. The old days of the NFL as a relatively level playing field are soon to be long gone (if not already)....

i copied this from pro football talk......................................this really would make no sense for the redskins but hey they need to sign someone big every year or else they do not get espn credit for greatest offseason move each year.......BRIGGS-TO-'SKINS MAKES NO SENSE

 

Apart from the fact that Bears linebacker Lance Briggs became a star in a pure Tampa 2 scheme that the Redskins don't run, there's another reason why it makes no sense, in our view, for the 'Skins to add Briggs to the team.

 

With two big-money free agent linebackers -- Marcus Washington and London Fletcher-Baker -- already in the starting lineup, the 'Skins wouldn't be getting the best return on their investment in Washington, Fletcher-Baker, and Briggs.

 

Why? Because a defense has three linebackers on the field roughly half of the time.

 

In the nickel and dime defenses, linebackers are replaced by defensive backs. Teams use the nickel whenever the opponent brings in a third receiver. Typically, that happens in second and long or third and more than three or four yards.

 

At a time when the 'Skins are still thought to be interested in adding Dre' Bly to a corps of cornerbacks that includes Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot, it's simply not a good investment of cap dollars to write a big bonus check to Briggs, unless the team is thinking about parting ways with Washington and his base salary of $4 million in 2007.

 

Meanwhile, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli is once again creating the impression that he broke the story of a possible trade of Briggs to the 'Skins, even though Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com and Adam Schefter of NFL Network had the story well in advance.

 

(Free advice to Len: With the departure of Michael Irvin and the "reassignment" of Joe Theismann, the folks in Bristol are demonstrating a willingness to heed and to respond to accurate and reasonable external criticism of their employees.)
