Day 3 of Briggs saga, JLC and Co. think the odd's are better than 50-50?

I thought they were hovering around the pick swap deal still, but now their getting greedy

Gibbs and the FO must not think our current crop of LB's is worth much. I can see trying to sign a couple veteran offensive linemen, we need depth at the very least, but LB was a solid position for us I thought. IF this story is true that the Bears want more out of us for Briggs, then I say we nix the deal. We can get a decent young LB with a upper middle pic like a 3rd rounder if we wanted to. All I hope is that these guys have some sort of plan layed out with the moves they are making and not doing things on the run like they seem to have been doing for a long time.

Captain Gus, based off last year, what would make you or Gibbs think that we are in good shape at LB?

Now with Fletcher signed, I agree with some optimism, but any evaluation of linebacker play from last year's game tape would only end up with a trash can full of vomit!

I agree with you on sweetening the deal. If they want Marshall, they can go F themselves. I wonder if they would do it for Montgomery instead of Golston?

Agree with the vomit. Briggs, Washington, Fletcher would make up for poor D-line play. Not totally but least our Lbs wont be pushed around by guards (like Marshall) anymore. Give them L.M. but throw in their 6th or something. Wheel and deal!!! Even without 6th, Marshall just be sitting unless dime package ANYWAY.

Honestly we might "lose" techincally with the deal according to the charts....but if we could get a 2-3rd round pick in the deal too, i'd pull the trigger on that too.

We should've considered Briggs before signing Fletcher. This team does stuff backwards. I manage my roster on Madden better than Gibbs and Co. does...

I think we needed FLETCH, clearly.
We would be just fine without BRIGGS. I think signing FLETCH was the first or at least one of the first moves we had to make, I think they got that right.
LB is way down on the wish list.
