Bears and 49ers Contract Troubles posted on 03/17/2008
It's not exactly Ditka vs Walsh, but the battle between the Bears and the 49ers over the proposed trade of Lance Briggs does have some drama to it.
According to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer , the Bears will bring a case to the commissioner's office regarding potential tampering problems between the 49ers and Brigg's agent Drew Rosenhaus.

Turner was quick to follow up Lloyd's comments by telling the press that they all know that there will be a quarterback competition in camp. If that's true, then someone forgot to inform Lloyd.
