The deal for Kreutz also ensures linebacker Lance Briggs will go into unrestricted free agency during the offseason. That was extremely likely even before the Kreutz signing as the Bears and Briggs' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, broke off talks without a resolution.
"We told Lance and his agent when we had our talks we may revisit this," Angelo said. "Obviously, we had closure, but again that's just something we will address later on."
It's possible the Bears may try to match or beat another team's offer to Briggs if they're given the chance by Rosenhaus. They could also put a transition or franchise tag on Briggs to ensure his departure would bring them draft pick compensation if no deal is reached in February prior to free agency.
