Briggs brings questions about LBs

[BeastsoftheNFCeast]

If we do trade for Briggs, many questions pop up. The first one obviously is why? It seems that we have our LB's in place with Washington, Fletcher, and McIntosh starting and having Marshall as a quality backup. I think the Skins might be concerned about the health of some LBs with Fletcher being old, and McIntosh and Washington coming off surgery last year. The next question is what position will each LB play in the future? We refused to give up McIntosh so he is obviously in our long term plan, but yet Briggs is also in the long term plan due to his enormous contract. Why would we want two starting WLB(also Marshall might be starting caliber WLB)? Is Briggs possibly going to be our SLB when Washington is gone? I think Briggs will not play it this upcoming year because Washington will and if we were planning to get rid of Washington, he would be in the Briggs trade. And this upcoming year, how will McIntosh get his playing time in over Briggs? I mean I wouldnt want to pay Briggs that much money and not expect him to play every down. Basically, it raises many questions about the state of Washington and McIntosh and their futures with the club, and it also raises questions about what the role of Briggs and the rest of our LBs will be.
