GTripp0012 03-26-2007, 10:31 PM The total trade value from a trade back from the 6th pick to the 31st pick is worth 1000 points. 1000 points is equivlant to the 16th pick in the draft.
Would a smart team ever trade a top half 1st round pick for a linebacker? Of course not. That's why I don't see this deal as anything more than preliminary trade talks. Probably Chicago's preliminary offer. These trade talks might not even go anywhere.
Let's not all get worked up about this just yet.
GTripp0012 03-26-2007, 10:32 PM if this were to go down (i hope it does) i think we'd have to try and sign ian scott, and maybe briggs could persuade us to do so since he is a former team mateWhere would we get the money for both Briggs and Scott? Cutting Wynn?
I don't see anyway our DL could come out better if we make this trade.
Warpath 03-26-2007, 10:32 PM I like our current LBs, Washington is amazing and Rocky is an up and comer, and Marshall is alright. Squash this trade and get what the team needs, DE/DT.
jsarno 03-26-2007, 10:32 PM Honestly, have we not learned our lesson to this point? I mean we as in the Redskins community. We hear one little trade rumor and we run with it. This isn't going to happen, just like the 50 other trade rumors that haven't happened since the offseason started.
Do we even have the room under the cap to pull off such a deal?
A lot of times, there is a "leak" from someone in the orginization, and some glue sniffing intern might have heard that the Bears brass was interested in this deal, (why wouldn't they be?) and then instantly thought it was news worthy. I just don't think the Skins brass are THAT dumb. I know they have been fairly dumb on certain moves, but not THAT dumb.
Sheriff Gonna Getcha 03-26-2007, 10:33 PM Moreover, Briggs, who will turn 27 in November, is 7 years older than Okoye and 5 years older than most draftees. Shouldn't we be adding youth to the unit? 27 isn't ancient by any means, but I'd prefer to add solid youth at a position of real need.
724Skinsfan 03-26-2007, 10:34 PM I don't see how we can realistically afford this guy if already won't accept franchise tag compensation. The signing bonus would break our bank for the next 5 years or so. If the deal goes through then the Defense must be totally convinced that our D-Line is already set for 2007.

When the leak is reported by two of the industry's top league insiders I don't think it is premature to discuss it.
I am hoping and praying this is posturing by the Bears to up the value they can get for Briggs. Set the market type stuff.
dmek25 03-26-2007, 10:35 PM i really like Briggs. the name of the game is play makers. and Briggs is definitely one of those. but our dline is so bad, and our linebackers are really OK right now, that this trade isn't good for the redskins. anyone know how old Briggs is?

well marshall is 30 and will be 31 in december and washington is turning 30 this year, fletcher is 32 so we arent exactly youthful at the linebacker position, this would help
