The Facts:
The Bears are not going to give up on their own stars. Not without a final effort. That became obvious Monday when the team revealed it has made contract offers to linebacker Lance Briggs, Berrian, defensive tackle Tommie Harris and special teamer Brendon Ayanbadejo.
Reported by the Chicago Sun-Times
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
All four offers are under consideration, and all four players are represented by Miami-based agent Drew Rosenhaus. Many observers have predicted Berrian will be allowed to move on, but yesterday's released of Muhsin Muhammad (in addition to clearing the way for Devin Hester and Mark Bradley to step up) would appear to make keeping the speedy Berrian more important. Indeed, the team could still use their franchise tag to retain him. ... Meanwhile, if GM Jerry Angelo manages to re-sign all four players mentioned above -- and a meeting is in the works at the combine with agent Eugene Parker about a new contract for quarterback Rex Grossman -- many of the club's offseason questions could be answered before free agency opens at 11 p.m. Feb. 28.
