Re: ESPN FA Guide

Free agent: LB Lance Briggs
Best fit: Buffalo Bills
Here's why: Briggs is only 27 years old and in the prime of his productive career. Briggs didn't receive as much of the limelight as Brian Urlacher in Chicago, but with the Bills, he would very quickly establish himself as this defense's top dog, something that Buffalo needs very badly. Of course, Dick Jauron is familiar with what Briggs brings to the table from their time together with the Bears, and with Paul Posluszny returning from injury, the Bills could all of a sudden have a very formidable group of linebackers.


Too bad its probably unlikely.

We have needs in DT, WR, TE, backup QB, and C, but all you want is a big name LB and you don't care if we don't sign anyone else?

There's a better chance that Miyagi is our opening day OLB than Briggs playing here.

Hey I'd give them 2 good plays for the league minimum salary. That'd be like 5 years of my current pay.

Re: ESPN FA Guide

The writer of that article is an idiot.

Chicago is still stuck with huge cap on Cedric Benson, and he's got Michael Turner AND Julius Jones going there.

Pure fantasy.

Wouldn't it be great to be a third stringer?

Re: ESPN FA Guide

Nah I don't want to move from city to city.

On my 3rd play I'd get crushed and tear my ACL. My football career will be over, after rehab I'll walk just fine but no more competitive contact sports again in my life.

That'd be back to my current normal life but collecting lifetime NFL disability.

I can dig that.

Re: ESPN FA Guide

We've been the supposed landing spot of Briggs for a while, no way it happens.

Re: ESPN FA Guide

I don't discount anything. There were rumors last year that the Bills were inquiring w/Chicago about a trade, but between the picks and $$, the Bills wouldn't do it. If it's just the $$, with no pick to trade involved, who knows?

I think he meant that it would be fine if that's the only BIG name we sign, not that we wouldn't sign anyone else. I tend to agree. Give me Briggs and the rest of the guys can be mid-line players or draft picks.

No, didnt say that, what I mean is if thats our only big namer or even high priced guy Im fine with that, get the rest from the draft. Our 1st 2 picks could easily net us 2 starters, thats adding 3 starters from the offseason. I dont agree that we need a center, a backup center maybe. And a backup QB can be a fairly cheap vet.
