Re: briggs talk

I still say we're going to get Lance, especially if Turner goes elsewhere. We'll see.

Re: briggs talk

Do you think it would be that simple?

I'm trying to figure out if I would like that trade. On one hand, the Bills lose the 12th overall pick which is a pretty big deal. On the other hand, they get a proven LB as opposed to Willis who hasn't done anything in the NFL...yet.

Hard to say.

Kinda like my Turner / Lynch argument.

Re: briggs talk

Draft an unproven player or trade for a proven Pro-Bowl player...hmmm....

Re: briggs talk

The problem with Briggs is that his agent is Drew Rosenhaus and he wants a $15 to 20 mil signing bonus.

No way the Bills do that.

It is a similar argument. Except Briggs is a bit more proven in the NFL than Turner, but I know what you're saying.

'

an unproven player with all the tangibles and intangibles to be an immediate star in the NFL and possibly even a cadidate for NFL defensive rookie of the year who mean. who was allso the best college LB in the nation last year who runs faster than cornerbacks wide recievers runningbacks and safeties but hits like a LB and is a very good tackler.

come on......

Are you willing to give up at least a 3rd round pick this year and next (or possibly a 2nd) to get him? We will have to move ahead of San Fran to get him and that will not be cheap. We have too many needs to give away draft picks when we could use our 1st round pick and be assured of having a Pro-Bowl LB.

I'm not implying any of that. what i am implying is that iof he falls to us its a gem. and if he doesnt, we can work on a trade for briggs OR trade down, stokpile draft picks (which i am a fan of as well) and get a timmons or a POZ and call it a day.

yeah I do. The rumor is that Washington is not willing to part with their 6th overall pick. They are willing to swap picks though and throw in another pick. If that's the case, Marv should call Chicago up and offer the 12th overall pick. Don't forget that if they trade the pick, that frees up more salary from the cash under cap figure.

Rosenhaus as his agent scares the **** out of me, but I don't think the price will scare them away. If they really want someone, they will pay. Look at Dockery, Kelsay, and Walker for examples.
