    • Bears sign Peanut Tillman to a 6 year extension.

      I was under the impression that they were only going to be able to sign Vasher or Tillman, but they got both.

      Bears D will be strong for years to come!!!

      • Since they don't intend to sign Briggs and the cap went up, they might even be able to sign Tommie Harris as well.

                  • Linebacker Briggs accepts one-year deal with Bears

                    07/25/2007 15:01 PM - Lance Briggs will sign the Bears' one-year qualifying offer worth $7.2 million, and report to camp on Thursday.

                    Two-time Pro Bowl weakside linebacker Lance Briggs, who was unable to reach a long-term deal with the Chicago Bears as the team's designated franchise player, will sign the one-year qualifying offer worth $7.2 million, and report to camp on Thursday, ESPN.com has learned.

                    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.

                    Briggs, 26, has averaged nearly 90 percent of the defensive snaps the past three years.

                    • You think the other players want him around, making millions, for one year? If he blinked it was to stifle a giggle.

                        • I guess it's a labor vs. management deal. From a team deal, I wouldn't.

                          • These guys have been to war together. I think the players are pretty good at separating that from contract wars.

                            • Chicago: Top 3 D again.

                              Could be another SB run (but I'd have more faith with Griese than Grossman).
