ARCHIVOS MR PLAYBOOK (2008)

LB Lance Briggs just signed a 6 year $36 mil deal with the Chicago Bears, after last season having a lot of problems with the organization.
Finally the bears do something right, after basically destroying their offense and the future, with only Cedric benson on the backfield, and resigning Grossman and Orton which was a weird move, they let go Mushin Muhammad to the Panthers and Bernard Berrian to the Vikings, so who will do everything in the Bears next year? Devin Hester, I Guess.

According to the Associated Press:

Briggs had a tumultuous offseason a year ago when he vowed never to play for the Bears again after they made him a franchise player. He relented and joined the team right before training camp.

But in December, Briggs said he hoped to stay in Chicago.

"I can see myself in a lot of uniforms," Briggs said at the time. "But honestly, I can see myself in a Chicago uniform if things work out that way, which I hope they will."
