Something smells fishy

[patmoran2006]

Find it odd Buffalo has all this money, made a couple of financial roster dumps (and to credit got value still in return) and havent even brought in the typical jabroni backup FA's that they usually do?

Maybe, its because they been saving their pennies for Briggs and/or Turner.. That's a good thing.

Either that, or they are just that ****ing cheap. :oops:

That would be sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Instant legit divisional contenders with them two..

Plus they'd still have a pair of third rounders for more good depth.

if we do bring em in then now we have the answers to all of the questions we were asking just a few days ago about ralphs cheapness.

if we had peyton manning LT and randy moss we could possibly have a better team....

:rofl:of course but realistically....

[patmoran2006]

I think Marv is smart enough to know our LB corp as a whole is rotten, he's smart enough to assume Willis will be gone; and that NOBODY else out there is going to do much if anything to help this team improve in 2007 (at LB)

Thats why I think this Briggs talk is just not talk; I think its legit.. and I think the Bears would take our deal first as they'd havea pair of 1st rounders..

As usual though, the REAL question is; WILL WILSON pay for Briggs. (I hope so)

[jamesiscool]

just playing the antagonizer.... as usual.

I don't find it odd since Marv clearly stated in one of his PC's that they were taking a different approach this off-season and concentrating on quality over quantity.

Somebody made a really good point in another thread, it might have been you Pat - about the new revenue sharing agreement.. I think its entirely possible that that has loosened up Ralph's purse strings a bit.

The thought has also crossed my mind about Briggs and Washington - my guess is most owners around the league are not big fans of Dan Schneider and what his spending has done to the league. Certainly the compensation is foremost, but it makes me wonder if dislike for Schneider might at all play into Angelo and where he'd be willing to send Briggs...

Better to send a player to a team that isn't in your conference!!

[BILLSROCK1212]

Better to send a player to a team that isn't in your conference!!that is the best part about the Briggs trade and the worst part about the Turner trade

[Bert102176]

to hell with Briggs and Turner

didn't Phin fans in the past get bashed for saying these same type of things when they would add free agents in the past, lol

Yes, and justifiably so.

[kernowboy]

Briggs and expecially Turner are over rated

I'd stick with the picks ... yes Willis might be gone, but we can slide down and pick up Posluzny or Timmons and the grab Leonard in R2.

Posluzny and Leonard .. two intelligent blue collar performers with massive amounts of character.

Add maybe a No2 receiver like Gonzalez, a second LB like Shaw or deOssie and we'd look good not just tomorrow but next year as well.

Some players just do well with certain teams and then are rubbish when they change even if the system is similar.

I'd rather develop our own players

No offense.. but the reason why we would take Posluszny and Leonard over Briggs and Turner; is the same reason why for the next 2-3 years we'll be talking about "next year" in March. The only person that would benefit from Pos and Leonard over Briggs/Turner isn't the team or the fans.. Its Wilson's wallet.

Building a team with good young players is fine; but you cant win in the NFL without a couple of difference makers... on top of that, Briggs and Turner are both young and just entering their prime. Its not like we'd be trying to buy short-term stopgap starters

We wouldnt be "buyin" anybody, we'd be trading for them.

And I dont ever blast teams for adding FA's, unless they're stupid contracts like SF gave clements

[ublinkwescore]

:rofl:

No no no, Randy Moss would negate the additions of Peyton Manning and LaDanian Tomlinson.

[!Papacrunk!]

I dunno, I got a lot in me today :drive:
