Lance Briggs signs franchise tag

Chicago will advance Briggs, who had earlier threatened to sit out until the 10th week of the season, $1 million. More important, the Bears have agreed that they will not use a franchise marker in 2008 on Briggs, provided the four-year veteran participates in 75 percent of the defensive snaps this season.

With the bad rap that Rosenhaus gets around the league, he is really coming into his own IMO. He put McGahee in a much better situation, he got his 1st rounder to sign with the Bears as I believe the first 1st rounder to sign....and now this. :D

 

Briggs is the best overall LB on the Bears in terms of technique, taking the right angles, not being out of position 99% of the time. Besides that, he's been the spirit on this D for the last 2 years, keeping his teamates loose during practice, and never really missing any significant time.

 

There is no money for him beyond this year. The next Bears defensive player to get the cash will by T Harris, and that will happen sometime during the next off season.
