Gold for Briggs?

[The Experience]

I like Ian Gold, dont get me wrong. and i do think Gold,Wilson,Williams is a killer trio but......

If we trade Ian Gold to the Bears for Pro-Bowler Lance Briggs it will not only be great for our overall defense but great for our linebacking core


Then we will move D.J. back to weakside and have Briggs hold down the strongside

Bailey+Bly+Lynch+Foxworth+Hamlin (who we need to get)+Williams+Wilson+Briggs+Okoye (we should draft him)+Bates= A Killer Defense

denver has the best LB core in the league.....

the only thing denver needs on defense is two good pass rushers on the ends.....thats all.....

You want to trade for Briggs. Make him one of the highest paid LBs in the league and then move him to SAM and put DJ at WILL?

Then you want to sign Ken Hamlin, whom will demand a very heavy contract.

Then...you want to trade up in the draft to get Amobi Okoye.


Why not throw in world peace too?

Officer: Simpson, what do you want most in life?
Homer: Peas........
Officer: Yes, we all want peace, but how do you get it?
Homer: With a knife *grabs peas with knife*
Officer: I like the way you think Simpson!

I'm all for it, but Briggs is gonna want a huge long-term contract. I say keep Gold and look for help in the Draft. I like Briggs but we just don't have the cap to sign another big time player. And trading Gold does not help our cap either.

Umm you can pay for Brigg's contract then alright?

[jcdavey]

you'd never get briggs for JUST gold

no way in the world.

Well . . .

From what I hear, Briggs is unhappy because Urlacher is "the man." Briggs seems
to want to be "the man." Here, Shanahan is "the man." No one else gets that
status. I'm not sure we would end up with a happy camper.

If I am not mistaken, Lance Briggs is a weakside linebacker. He is too small to play SAM, just like Gold. No reason to overpay for what we already have

Well, no . . . Briggs is about 6-0 and between 245 and 250, which is larger than
Al Wilson, Ray Lewis, or Zach Thomas, all MLBs. It doesn't seem size would be a
problem. As I implied in my previous post, my concern would be what is going on
above the shoulders, not below.

I think that I read somewhere, I am thinking Pro Football Talk, that Briggs plays at about 220. I cannot access that site from work, but I am pretty sure that is where I read that. He may be listed at 240, but probably does not play at that weight.


Either way, I would not want to make this move

Yes he is a Will and would throw a fit if asked to play Sam. He is not too small just as Gold is not to small (he played Sam at TB).
