I like the the fact that The Bears chose to give an offseason deal to Briggs keeping him around for 3 more years as a good football move. But for those who like to play GM here is the particulars. Chicago Bears LB Lance Briggs' new deal pays $17.5 million over three years, $5 million of which is fully guaranteed. In 2012, Briggs gets $3 million to sign, a $3 million base salary, and a $250,000 workout bonus, giving him $6.25 million. Next year, Briggs is due to receive a $1 million roster bonus in June and a $4.5 million base salary, $2 million of which is fully guaranteed. He also is eligible for a $250,000 workout bonus. In 2014, Briggs is due to receive a $500,000 roster bonus in June and a non-guaranteed base salary of $4.75 million. He also is eligible to receive a $25,000 workout bonus.
