I just don't see him worth the $ he's going to ask for. He's a nice player but I didn't see him sacking the QB very often.

Briggs will be 28 during the 2008 season, and that was my point, that we wouldn't have very much youth at LB. If we signed Briggs, we'd probably be running Marcus (who is only 30) out of town. Anyway, the Briggs signing doesn't look plausible right now.

I don't know about Blades. He might develop, but I think it's best to count on him/Rocky as one player...If Blades does develop, then we can let Rocky walk after his RFA year (2009).
