The Briggs deal makes no sense on a number of different levels.
1. We have sufficient talent and depth at the linebacker position. Where our d lacks is on the D-line, this is clear to any Redskins fan with any football sense. We had a league low 19 sacks last year. Is Briggs going to help rush the passer?? We also need an interior penetrating force the push the pocket and stuff the run. Is Briggs going to provide that?

2. Money, that boy wants the get paid and our salary cap situation for 2008 is not accommodating. Go check out the salary cap chart.

3. Wasted picks. We used two 2nd round picks and a 3rd round pick for Rocky McIntosh and TJ Duckett. Duckett is already gone; we at least need to try to DEVELOP McIntosh.
