Lance Briggs

[The Shadow]

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.

he hasn't been good for a couple years now. he's like an older darker version of hawk

[smuggler]

I would say no. He can't play at a high level anymore - that's the big difference between Peppers and Briggs. That's why Thompson probably won't consider him.

[Teamcheez1]

I would love a wily veteran who can still play and help younger players develop at the position,

Unfortunately, I believe we would get the second coming of Hardy Nickerson.

[HarveyWallbangers]

What about taking a flier on Sean Weatherspoon of Atlanta? He hasn't been healthy the last two years, but he was a good LB before that. Would play ILB in our 3-4. I think he's only ~27 years old.

[smuggler]

word is he will be headed to Arizona

[woodbuck27]

He doesn't like the Green Bay Packers.

or the second coming of AJ Hawk. A wily veteran who can . . . help younger players develop.

Who is calm and can call signals if the communication gear goes out.
