Redskins eyeing deal for Briggs

If the Bears are looking for a way to get rid of disgruntled linebacker Lance Briggs and get something of value in return, the Washington Redskins are apparently ready to make it happen.
Briggs has said repeatedly in the past few weeks that he is willing to sit out the season rather than play for the Bears as their designated franchise player, which prevents the unrestricted free agent from peddling his skills on the open market.
The Bears’ attitude has been that Briggs can play for them next season or not play at all — and not get paid. But on Monday at the owners’ meetings in Phoenix, Ariz., Briggs’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told foxsports.com that the Redskins have informed the Bears that they would like to deal their first-round pick, No. 6 overall, for the Bears’ first-rounder, No. 31 overall, and Briggs, who is a two-time Pro Bowl player.
Redskins owner Dan Snyder confirmed to foxsports.com that they wanted to make the move and were waiting to talk to the Bears. Snyder reportedly spent a couple of minutes talking to Briggs, who was with Rosenhaus at the meetings. Snyder and Redskins vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato were planning to consult with head coach Joe Gibbs regarding the deal. According to foxsports.com, Rosenhaus informed Cerrato that he had spoken with the Bears, and they were waiting an official call from the Redskins.
With the sixth overall selection, the Bears would likely have the option of selecting Mississippi linebacker Patrick Willis, whose stock is skyrocketing after he ran stunning, back-to-back 4.37-second 40-yard dashes at his pro day. The Bears might also have their choice of several other impact players, including Michigan defensive tackle Alan Branch; Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams, who is considered the best pass rusher available; Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn; and LSU safety LaRon Landry.

Das Tauziehen um Trent Green hat ein Ende gefunden. Nach zweimonatigem Verhandlungsmarathon haben sich die Miami Dolphins und die Kansas Chiefs auf einen Wechsel des Quarterbacks geeinigt.
Der 36-Jährige wird in der kommenden Saison für Miami auflaufen, im Gegenzug erhält Kansas 2008 einen Fünft-Runden-Draft von den Dolphins.
In der letzten Spielzeit verpasste Green wegen einer Verletzung acht Partien. Jetzt fehlt noch der medizinische Check, um den Deal endgültig perfekt zu machen.
