Briggs Signs One-Year Deal

Chicago Bears Linebacker Lance Briggs signed a 1 year deal with the team worth $7.206 million.

This is a little surprising since Briggs has been threatening to hold if the Bears didn’t give him a long term deal.

“Lance decided it was in his best interests, and those of the Bears, to play football in 2007, and to be in camp on time preparing to do so,” agent Drew Rosenhaus said Monday evening. “He wants to create the most positive atmosphere possible for himself, and he did not want this to be a distraction to the team. It’s a good compromise for everyone involved.”

Great news for the Bears who now, once again, will have THE best defense in the NFL.
