That's right! Briggs would be our best defensive player instantly! He's 26 years old and would be a Redskin for many years to come. We still have a first round pick to address the defensive line. Normally a Franchise tag would mean Redskins loose 2 first round picks! We come out of this totally ahead. Only reason we had a shot is Briggs is so unhappy with no long term deal from the Bears. He's made the pro bowl the last 2 years and only a 4 year vet. MAJOR UPGRADE FOR SKINS HERE!!
