[SC Skins Fan]

More sleepless nights for those who were upset about the original offer. Obviously Briggs is better than Marshall but if this trade went down as proposed it would represent yet another instance of jetisoning a core guy who has worked hard, put in his time, has struggled against the odds (low round draft pick, safety in college, etc.), and has proven successful (very much so in 2005). As I said, Briggs would be an upgrade, no doubt, but maybe I'm confused but I thought the very definition of 'core Redskins' were guys who fought hard, weren't superstars, and sacrificed for the team. Lemar Marshall has done all that, Lance Briggs has not. The whole 'core Redskins' rhethoric already rings hollow to basically everyone, it will be completely eviserated if this trade goes down. Giving up Rocky or Golston would make even less sense. This trade is stupid, the counter offer will give the Skins a chance to back out and save face...I'm thinking they won't take the opportunity. As JLC said in his blog, this thing stinks of Danny Snyder to the core...ownership driven all the way no matter what they say about Gibbs being the man at the Park.
