Briggs to test Free Agent market
SI.com - NFL


came up on S.I hope somebody can post a better link

Do the SAINTS go for him? Or the better question WILL the Saints go for him.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

We can only hope. We need a Drew type of captain in the LB corp to lead the defense. Sam Mills was the guy way back when. I am not saying it is him but we need to do a Drew type of investment on that side of the ball.

I would think they would try and get him, but then again....

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

If they don't at least talk to him I will be very disapointed....as usual.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

well as I said at the start of the season when he was a hold out
I would love to see him dress in black and gold but what is the price tag

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

Would the bears franchise him?

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

well I think if I remember correctly that was what the hold out at the start of the season was all about

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

Hagan, in the past I would have said "no way". Heck even the way we blew FA last year I would have said no.

BUT, I think the coaches see a tremendous hole there and the only way to fill it is with $$$$$. Draft Lariunitis and sign Briggs!!

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

He ended up accepting the tag this season, right? Can you get the tag twice in a row?

I have to say that I worry about guys like Briggs and Samuel being products of their environment. First off, how many Pats players have gotten big contracts and ended up sucking? And Briggs has Tommie Harris, Urlacher, etc...that's gotta help.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

I have no doubt that Briggs and Samuel are the real deal. The fact that both were franchised by teams that normally let loose players that are demanding high salaries should say enough about their talent.

However I don't think the Saints have a realistic shot at signing either one of them. Most of our cap money is going to be used to re-sign Smith and MM.
