Oh well, No shot at Briggs now

Not that we ever considered it. Perhaps Demarrio Williams is more in line with what we are trying to accomplish.

Demorrio Williams-LB-Chiefs Mar. 1 - 11:19 pm et
   
  NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Falcons have agreed to terms with LB Demorrio Williams on a five-year, $16 million contract, with $5.5 million guaranteed.

Let's hope he's not another Kendrell Bell. Williams is a rangy defender who has always racked up tackles, but there are questions about his toughness. He fits the Kansas City mold as a young defender with speed and should start right away. He has some IDP upsid


fyi

Just don't understand why there wasn't more of a market for Briggs. He basically signed for what he was making last year from the Bears. Guess the demand wasn't that great after all.

Just as I suspected, Briggs was just using other teams as leverage.

Just like with Cato June last year, there are lots of questions as to how Tampa 2 linebackers fit in with other schemes.

Nobody even brought him in for a visit. His agent couldn't even use other teams for leverage.

That's what puzzles me Dan. There was all this hype (maybe driven by Rosenhaus) before free agency began and then -- nada. Not even a sniff by any team. Talk about a heaping helping of humble pie.

And the lack of visits was hurting Briggs from a personal standpoint. I think he finally just said "to hell with it, just accept the contract from the Bears".

I think Briggs took Chicago's offer because he didn't want to be embarrassed(no visits, no offers) while twisting in the wind. So he took the sure thing.

lol...great minds think alike?
