I'm as tired of Lance Briggs as I am of Kerry Wood and Mark Prior. I don't have to have Lovie's patience and tolerance, he has crossed the line without having the talent to warrant it. Is this Terrell Owens? No, he is NEVER going to have the impact on the game that Owens can/could, but he acts like this now. He wasn't even the best linebacker on his team but he is throwing his weight around as if he is.
The Bears have invested in Briggs, and deserve the return which is allowed by league rules for him. They are the ones who drafted him, brought him into their system, and made him what he is. Without the Bears, Lance Briggs is an underacheiving college talent that slipped past other teams in the draft. Unless they can get great value for him, better than the Redskins are offering(swapping 1st round picks from 31st to 6th), he should be left to sit out, or play both the years he is obligated to play with the franchise tag.
Meanwhile, we can find someone else to fill his role and he can watch his stock plummet as yet another player reaps the benefits of playing with Biran Urlacher.
