What loyalty do we owe Briggs? He was a good/great player for several years next to Urlacher. He collected his checks, now it's time to move on.

While that is a sickening trait that Bears fans have, it doesn't apply here. This guy has been going through the motions and collecting a check for going on two seasons (and may have been fooling us before that and trying to get by on what was left of his talent). This resentment has been building for awhile; if you think this event is the only reason why people want to get rid of him, you don't follow the team or fans very closely.

I don't get the story here, we have known for close to a decade that Briggs wasn't the most dedicated teammate(off the field , etc). but he was good and showed up on the field. That's the ony difference now that his play is declining.

Instead of discipling him, Trestman should motivate him.
Have some BBQ RIBS cooking on the sidelines and for every tackle he gets 1 rib. An interception, sack or forced fumble gets him a slab. A return touchdown he gets all he can eat.

For whatever reason the Trib article won't load where I am now. Can someone paraphrase?

Sounds less like the supposed locker room leader and more like a cancer.

Briggs doesn't care and tells everyone.

Thanks. If you are on the roster but not part of the 46 who dress do you still get a game check?

He already looked like a little bit of a pussy for giving him a day off practice to open a restaurant. And did that move buy Trestman any good will from the veteran/Lovie loyalist crowd? Hell no.

I'm pretty sure he's still geting his checks. The full article is in another thread, or at least the full quote is. I believe it's this article:

He hasn't ever really been a team player. It's too bad he didn't take the chance to be a leader after Urlacher left. He took the bitter route.

That's why I don't understand why everyone is up in arms. Briggs has never really seemed to care, at least from the outside looking in. He has never been a team leader and I for one didn't expect him to become one after urlacher, his d coordinator and lovie left.
I personally respect him for being honest but something's are better left unsaid at least until he is done with the franchise or game all together. If anything wrote his way out of the bears organization and he hurt his chances of any other team picking him up.

he was like this during training camp, paying more attention outside the fence, but i could care less as long as he show up on the field.
