What is your main gripe with the proposed Briggs deal?

To be honest, no.

Briggs buries Rocky, which means we wasted our 2nd rounder this year (don't forget, we traded that pick to get Rocky last year). So essentially, we will have traded the #6, a second rounder, and a ton of cap space (the Briggs cap hit minus the Rocky cap hit) all to fill our OLB spot and a quality DL.

We'll have to release Wynn, still a serviceable DL himself, and a locker room favorite. I worry about the team getting pissed that we dump our own players and leaders for these guys who come in and get paid.
