Briggs to 'Skins?

Okay, so the Post is saying that there is a 50-50 chance Briggs will come to the ‘Skins. I am not really for the trade as Briggs seems like a cry baby and is selfish. Also, I believe he has talent but is also a beneficiary of playing in the Chicago defense AND of course next to Brian Urlacher who is probably the best defensive player in the game. Still, if we make the trade, I like the trade for what it is. The ‘Skins seem unwilling to give up McIntosh OR any other draft pick which I agree with. The ‘Skins would trade for Briggs and swap first round picks. Thus, they would end up with the 31st pick as opposed to the 6th pick. At that slot, we could still get another solid defensive player to help out.

Additionally, there is talk of the ‘Skins trying to squeeze more out of the Bears which pleases me even more. I also like the discussion of the ‘Skins moving to more of a Chicago style of defense. Any change has to be better than what we had last year so I am for it.

Still, I’m sure there is a lot of discussion going on. Some serious and some just for posturing and unpredictability and to create further discussion with other teams. It is all a poker match where you have to know when to bluff and when to call. Whatever, it’s on tomorrow and we’ll see how it shakes down. Bottom line, the Bears suck (and swallow) and the Redskins RULE!!!!

No way that clown ends up on the 'Skins. If Gibbs is a stickler about anything, it's about getting guys that agree with the team concept. He learned his mistake with Lloyd and he won't do it again.

I doubt the 'Skins want to drop that far down in the draft order and consequently miss out on drafting one of the top d-linemen available. It wouldn't make sense to drop more than a few spots given that DL is the biggest need.
