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.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

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.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

I think the price tag is gonna be too high. IF we woulda either let charles grant go or sign him for less then maybe, but as wheel said we gonna have to resign smith and MM.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

Well Im pretty sure his hold out in the preseason led to a stipulation in his contract. If I remember correctly when he signed his franchise tag going into this year and decided not to hold out it was only cuz the bears agreed not to tag him again after the season.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

His daughter's momma could hurt his chances at landing a huge payday. She claims that he is not supporting his child, and that he impregnated two other women that caused their relationship to end.

I have no clue on how much of this is true, but it does raise a red flag on his character. I am also not sure if this allegation would hurt him in free agency, but I do not it doesn't help. If all is good, he would be a nice upgrade for the Saints.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

Travis Henry has 9 kids with 9 women, doesn't support any of them and still buys $100,000 cars!

Talk about character issues.....Where's the NFL on that one??

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

^^^^^

Very good point '76. I would think that a scumbag that doesn't take care of his kids would be a hotter issue to fix than some of this other crap they are fining players for.

Re: Briggs to test Free Agent market
 

depends on the details dude. till I hear more I am not going to believe early reports. Lets see some hard facts first.
