 Bears being dismantled?
Up to the minute news about the Chicago Bears from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest Chicago Bears news so you can chat about here. Quote: Angelo: Bears building, not dismantling, winner
Kane County Chronicle, IL - Mar 9, 2007
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo understands the perception. Leading rusher Thomas Jones is gone, Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs made it clear he wants out, and the coaching staff has been made over.
“I know on the outside it looks like we want to dismantle the team,” Angelo said during a conference call with reporters on Tuesday. “It has nothing to do with that. We want to keep this the best possible football team that we can. And that’s what we’re trying to do.”
A month removed from the Super Bowl, a soap opera seems to be playing out at Halas Hall.
Assistant coaches are shuffling in and out, like stage hands.
Coach Lovie Smith got a contract extension after his agent said negotiations stalled. Angelo got one, too — minus the public drama.
The plot took two more twists this week, when Briggs lashed out and Jones got traded for a second-round draft pick to the New York Jets.
