His agent is Drew Rosenhaus. On S/center yesterday, Briggs did say Drew told him not to go public and to play out the year. He said he went public on his own.

I do understand a little of what he is saying. Our first thought is, wow 7 million for one year, he can set himself up for life. Yea, but what would a 15 million signing bonus and a long term deal do? It would set his grandkids up for life. Let's do a little math... less taxes 30%, less agent fees..um...10%? That nets 4 million. Buy a house most likely for 1-3 million. What's left over ???

Listen, I don't feel sorry for someone who makes 7million. That should be enough to live a pretty awesome life for the average guy. But NFL players aren't average guys. I could live well off of 1million. But Briggs has an opportunity to get paid for what he feels he's worth, whatever that # may be. He could suffer a career ending injury playing out his one year contract. Just some thoughts....
