On March 12, 2007, Briggs announced that he no longer considered himself a member of the Chicago Bears. During a cell phone interview with Foxsports.com Briggs said “I am now prepared to sit out the year if the Bears don’t trade me or release me, I’ve played my last snap for them. I’ll never play another down for Chicago again.” In explaining his demands, he said “The Bears have shown I’m not in their long-term plans so if that’s the case, I don’t want to be here.” A report from Fox Sports on March 27 claimed that the Washington Redskins allegedly offered the Bears their first round pick in exchange for Briggs and the Bears’ own first round pick. On March 28, Bears general manager Jerry Angelo confirmed that the Redskins have made a trade offer and stated, “We’ll evaluate if that’s good for us and get back to them”. Angelo rejected the offer on April 3, but later stated they were interested in negotiating a deal the following day. The Bears then proposed a trade with the Redskins which included linebacker Rocky McIntosh as well as the Redskins first-round pick in exchange for Briggs. Briggs did not attend the team’s first meeting after their Super Bowl XLI loss, or their mandatory mini camp session in May 2007. Despite his comments, the Bears re-signed Briggs to a six-year, $36 million contract on March 1, 2008.
