Reports have Briggs being released by the Bears.
He did not have a good season, correct.
1. At 34, he is slipping as a Will - where he has always played.
2. Injuries.
3. But living here in Chicago, I couldn't help but notice Brigg's downright disgust with the Trestman regime and that has to be factored in.
I would consider bringing him very reasonable money - and move him to ILB.
1. He's very instinctive.
2. The move inside would somewhat counter the step he's lost as a Will. He could easily make the switch; he's a coach on the field.
3. He could certainly help mentor whoever we draft - and Barrington & Bradford, too.
4. In an emergency, he could fill in a OLB.
5. Having another guy with something to prove against the Bears would not hurt.
This is not a long range proposition by any means. But it might just help our new blood manning the middle transition into the job.
