Re: What is your major contention with the proposed Briggs deal?

1)The magnitude of the contract Briggs is getting negates a lot of the future cap space we freed up with the Archuleta and Patten cuts.

2)Were probably going to have to cut Wynn to make this jive with the cap

3)This move doesn't improve the defense all that much. Defensive Line is still more important, and this still compromises our ability to improve there.

Out of the poll choices, I'd take both "out of position to get an impact player at No. 6" and "doesn't fill a need" if I could.

At the very least, this trade pours more resources into the defensive side of the ball where we badly need them. That's always a plus.

1) we have no idea how the contract would be structured. Give Snyder more credit. He'a a wizard when it comes to that.

2) Wynn is past his prime and won't impact the Redskins either way.

3) Doesn't improve the Defense all that much? Another assumption based on no facts. Last year nobody was saying AA was a good fit or star player. This year almost every NFL analyst agrees that Briggs is one of the top 5-6 LB's in the league today.

The only arguement is losing the ability to draft a star Defensive lineman at # 6. Who knows what we can scoop up at # 31, that will determine alot.
