Briggs back with the Bears? No. 55 awaits John Fox's call | CSN Chicago
"In my opinion, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't want to (bring Briggs back to the Bears)," Briggs said on Monday's edition of SportsTalk Live. "Obviously, in the Draft, that's probably going to be one of the focal points is getting a linebacker, (but) a guy who's been around, a guy who understands football, who's a great football player and can play at a high level still, to me, is enticing. A guy like John Fox — love the hire — and hopefully I get a call and I get an opportunity to come back and play in Chicago, where I'm supposed to be."
I respect Briggs for his play in the prime of his career, but there is no way he's coming back. We are probably converting to a 3-4 defense, and I honestly don't see much use for him in that scheme. He would probably have to move to ILB if we re-signed him. I don't think he's coming back. Would anyone disagree with me?
