God, I hope so.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Some teams seem to be coming out of the woodwork looking to trade up -- Denver talking intensely to Detroit, Tampa talking to Oakland.
Both want Calvin Johnson.
So maybe those top picks have some value for an off-the-charts guy like him. Draft day should be interesting.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Those are almost certainly Rosenhaus-planted web rumors, nothing more.Originally posted by snoopy369
Bucs, Giants, Bills, Redskins, and Broncos all interested in Briggs still ...
The #4 pick would be loverly, but unlikely they'd take it (already turned down #6 after all). But would we take Round2/#4 perhaps (straight up)? Cheaper pick, but still a solid player...
GM Jerry Angelo said yesterday that he has not received ANY phone calls from ANY team regarding Lance Briggs since the proposed Washington deal.
But it does look like there will be some maneuvering for Calvin Johnson, with the trade of Trent Green to Miami as the possible trigger point for a domino effect of several trades. Which would be fun to watch...Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Actually, I read somewhere that teams that have tagged a player as franchise can't actively pursue trades for that player. Other teams have to initiate the trade proposals.Originally posted by SlowwHand

That's correct, and that's fine. Spurn the suitors for now.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I sincerely doubt the Bears will do anything with Briggs between now and the end of the draft.
I do expect a flurry of trades among several other teams on Saturday, however.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

With the drafting of Stanford's Michael Okwo, a Tampa-2 Will LB -- in round 3, no less -- the Bears have thrown down the gauntlet.
The also have Jamar Williams, a 2006 4th rounder who got injured in camp.
Briggs and Rosenhaus are all in.
Jerry Angelo has called.
Back to you, Drew...Last edited by -Jrabbit; April 30, 2007, 18:42.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
