The Chicago Bears have spoken this offseason like a team that’s not lacking in confidence, with the latest comments coming from linebacker Lance Briggs, who says that when the lockout ends, the Bears will have a championship-caliber team.

In a video interview with the Chicago Tribune, Briggs said he thinks the Bears have the roster of a champion.

“There’s nothing normal about the lockout and not being with your team -- you always want to be with your team and be preparing for the season,” Brigg said, adding that once the lockout ends the Bears will be, “Championship like -- world championship like.”

Briggs’ comments come a month after his fellow Bears linebacker, Brian Urlacher, said the Bears, not the Packers, are the best team in the NFC. The Bears’ players certainly aren’t lacking in confidence. Even though Packers fans would point out that they are lacking in Super Bowl rings.
