It's a non-issue. He is not even close to on our radar.

Denver has the fastest set of LB's in the league and hasn't been able to move Al Wilson, and Houston got themselves a gem in Demeco Ryans in the 2nd round last year. I don't see Briggs affecting our offseason at all.

I would hope for the sake of fiscal discipline he's not on our radar.

As for other teams out there, there's no telling who might trade w/another team in the draft, 3-way trade, etc. We're starting to see how some free agent signings could impact the top picks in the draft, e.g. Cleveland signed J. Lewis. They may still draft A. Peterson but it's not as much the sure thing everyone thought a few weeks ago.
