One year extension for #bears LB Lance Briggs. He requested a trade last summer.

Congrats to Rosenhaus Sports client Lance Briggs on his contract extension. Well deserved Lance! Classy move by the Bears organization

Lance Briggs is a great player and deserves the extra money/extension. Just not as much as running back Matt Forte who risked his career without a long-term deal.

Bears announce one-year extension with LB Lance Briggs. Somewhere, Matt Forte taps his foot impatiently.

I'm super stoked that Briggs signed an extentsion, but when the f*ck is Forte gonna sign?! #GetOnIt

Wasn't too long ago when Lance Briggs felt like Matt Forte does now. Briggs was just rewarded for second time since he was tagged in 2007.
