Mr. Briggs goes to Washington? Nope April 4 Chicago Tribune: "Disgruntled linebacker Lance Briggs will not be moving from the Bears to the Washington Redskins, at least not in the immediate future, because the Bears rejected the Redskins' offer to send their No. 6 overall pick of the NFL draft to the Bears in exchange for Briggs and the 31st pick, a team official said Tuesday."

Rex gets in gear for salary drive April 4 Chicago Sun-Times: "It appears the wait-and-see approach the Bears took with coach Lovie Smith also will apply to quarterback Rex Grossman.

Mueller said the Dolphins want to select a quarterback in the draft and have spoken with the agent for David Carr about a potential free-agent visit... 'I think David is going to look for a starting job,' said Mueller, who also has spoken with Kansas City about a potential trade for Trent Green."

No. 7 pick offers many scenarios for Vikings April 4 St. Paul Pioneer Press: "Despite a glaring need at wide receiver, the Vikings could end up waiting until the second or third round of the April 28-29 NFL draft to select a pass catcher, and they might be willing to trade down in the first round from the No. 7 spot, depending on who's available.
