Lance Briggs - Potential Free Agent

We don't need CJ, bad idea. Too much firepower, and it wont work. We already have Moss, ARE, Cooley plus good vets like McCardell. Let's chill on WRs for a bit and focus on the line where we are short.

We saw what happened this season, we need some studs for the future.

I love the Chad Johnson idea.... I would buy his jersey in a heart beat. We could get rid of B.Lloyd. Think about lining up with Santana on one side, 85 on the other, Cooley in the slot and Portis behind Campbell..... now that is scary. Then get some more deepth on the oline.

Life ain't that good I love the idea tho. But we aren't that luck to land #85 in D.C. plus I feel we would have some cap issues.

Keep dreaming, the Bengals aren't going to let Chad Johnson walk! He'll be tagged and fenced.

I disagree with the too much firepower. Look at offenses like the pats and colts... they have 2 pro bowl receivers.

We can't afford Briggs, he is overpriced. He's good and all but we have other issues. Rocky will be back!!!

I remember posting a thread about Briggs in the offseason when he was holding out. As soon as he started talking I knew the skins would be interested in him.

He was promised something like a $20mil signing bonus if that trade was made. At that price, we should stay away. If somehow he tests the market & nobody's offering him what he wants, he's certainly a good OLB. I just doubt that he will be relatively cheap, can't see him settling for less than $15mil guaranteed.

Based on the response, that's a solid........maybe???
I really like what the team is doing with young talent. I would like to see them continue to travel that road and leave the $$$$ FA's alone whenever possible. I am excited to see more of Blades

It is ABSURD to discourage making an offer to Chad Johnson in the offseason, if available. You think he'd take our offense to the next level? Of course he would! He has no off-field troubles that I've heard of, and, on the field, he is that kind of force opposing defenses must adjust their entire gameplan toward. To think The Danny won't shell out the going tag price for CJ is using revisionist history. We all might be worried about cap hell, but as everyone seems to agree on this site, Snyder finds uncanny ways to manage that department. I would go as far as to state our O instantly becomes top-tier in the league with that kind of acquisition.

I'm for it all the way! We know how much Joe likes high-character guys, too, and how urgently we need a big-time playmaker.

I am one of the Chad Johnson idea lovers. I think the guy is an awesome receiver and we would be pretty hard to stop with Him, Santana and Randel el lining up. I think our D needs to be addressed with a DE. LB position, we have some guys that can play, but if we can get a reasonable priced FA to come in and play while Rocky is out, or let HB win or lose the job is fine. The guy was the best LB in the big east, and one of the best in the country. I would like us to get a CB in the draft. Smoot is oft injured, springs is getting old and Carlos wont be back until mid season. I think of the FA out there for CB, they will be too high priced. Draft a couple of O-lineman mid round.

MOCK draft has us taking a DE out of Miami.

Overrated!!!!!!
