[CBFF] - Part of this must be subterfuge

[Jason Cetina]

WTF? Moose looks like a keeper? That can't be. I've got no problem with 
Berrian leaving, but he should take Moose with him. I've got to believe 
that the front office is trying to create some leverage to sign Berrian 
to a lower contract. Or maybe the Bears are content with both of them 
ending up as Vikings.

Briggs, Berrian could be goners


Dec. 14, 2007

On the Bears’ free-agent front, the latest we’re hearing on OLB *Lance 
Briggs* and WR *Bernard Berrian*, the team’s top two players eligible 
for free agency, is that the team is leaning toward letting both of them 
walk. We hear the Bears believe second-year LB *Jamar Williams* could 
very effectively man the weak side at a lot more reasonable cost than 
what it would take to re-sign Briggs, who they feel is asking for more 
than he’s worth, his rock-solid ’07 season notwithstanding. Team sources 
tell us the Bears feel the same way about Berrian and that they are 
preparing to primarily revolve their passing game around the very 
promising talents of University of Miami (Fla.) products *Devin Hester* 
and *Greg Olsen*, with veteran *Muhsin Muhammad* looking like a keeper 
at the “Z” spot for at least another season. Word is the Bears are 
increasingly intrigued by the pass-catching potential of Hester, who 
showed impressive glimpses late in the team’s Week 14 loss to the Redskins.
