20M guaranteed for Lance Briggs?

It's important that fans, waiting to voice either their approval or apprehension over the possible trade of Lance Briggs to the Washington Redskins for a first round draft swap, are familiar with the terms currently being thrown around. Here's one possibility per the Chicago Sun-Times (emphasis added):

I'll try and remain as subtle and emotionally unattached to the deal as possible.

Please don't do this, Washington.

If the sources and stories are to be believed, the Redskins have formalized an offer made, by all accounts, by Dan Snyder in a bar without having discussed the move with Joe Gibbs or Gregg Williams. Evidence (emphasis mine):

"The move" above refers to an offer to send our 6th pick to Chicago for Briggs and their 31st pick. Notice that the deal eventually sent to the Bears was formulated by Dan Snyder, on the spot, in a bar, prior to either Snyder or Cerrato communicating to Joe Gibbs or anyone else on the Coaching staff. Also per Tandler's Blog (who has an excellent write up on the entire situation): Taking all parties at their word here, and we've got a most disturbing and dysfunctional sounding trade procedure. Dan Snyder in a bar, talked to by Drew Rosenhaus, makes an impulsive trade offer (keep in mind he's the owner of a franchise that has experienced very little success under his tenure -- he is not a General Manager, he is not a Coach, he is not a Football person) that is immediately gobbled by Vinny Cerrato. The two than take the trade to Joe Gibbs.

Whatever else you might think of the trade offer, know that it was spawned in a bar in the mind of Dan Snyder, perhaps impulsively. It's important for fans to know how serious Football decisions give birth in the Redskins organization, and this entire process affords a unique look into that. I think it's absotively posilutely the most ass-backwards approach I've ever heard, but whatever. Personally I always imagined serious trade offers were discussed internally among a collection of (sober) Coaches and Redskins scouts who could pour over potential offers and weigh the costs/benefits holistically against team personnel needs and financial limits. Instead "Rosenhaus, go tell them Bears we'll swap first rounders. Peace."

At this point I believe the team has formally presented that offer to the Bears, and if the Sun Times is to be believed, we'd be paying Lance Briggs a cool 20M guaranteed. Obviously, if that's the case, my position hasn't changed at all. Take that back, it has changed: I'm now even more opposed to it.

Best case scenario is a stubborn Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo refuses to relent to Lance Briggs and saves Your Washington Redskins from themselves.
