CHICAGO (AP) -- A year ago, Lance Briggs vowed never to play again for the Chicago Bears. Now, he's locked in for the long term, and yes, he has a hard time believing it.
"A little bit. A little bit," he said during a conference call Sunday when asked if he's surprised. "But all in all, I'm happy I'm back with the Bears - very much happy."
Briggs signed a six-year, $36 million deal Saturday that gives him $13 million guaranteed and $21.6 million over the first three years of the contract, a $7.2 million average that equals his salary last season. That capped two years of ill will that started with Briggs' decision to turn down a $33 million offer and escalated last offseason after the Bears made him a franchise player. |
