CHICAGO (AP)?Unhappy with his contract, Chicago Bears Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs(notes) tells the Chicago Tribune he is seeking permission to look for a trade.
Briggs says the Bears ?made their decision, now I have to make mine? and that he?s ?100 percent a Bear, until I?m not a Bear anymore.? He says agent Drew Rosenhaus has filed a formal request to seek a trade.
A six-time Pro Bowl pick, Briggs has three years left on a six-year, $36 million deal and is scheduled to make $3.9 million this season, including bonuses. He recently approached the Bears seeking a raise, but management apparently is not budging. Chicago has about $19 million in cap room.
Rosenhaus did not return a message from the Associated Press on Friday. The Bears had no comment.
