Glad to see someone kocked some sense into Briggs. They agreed not to franchise him next season as part of the deal.

The Tillman deal is perplexing; he's a solid corner, but now they have committed a great deal of cap $$ to the least important position on the field to a Cover-2 defense. That money could have gone to Briggs, or extending Urlacher, or Harris, or Mark Anderson who will want a new deal next summer. I think the Bears forgot that in 2005 he was one of the worst CBs in the division too.
