Rethinking Briggs

[81forHOF]

According to NFL.com a decision on this trade may be reached tomorrow. Angelo also said that they have not received any other offers for Briggs. Seeing how Briggs has said on several occasions that he would hold out, and that he will never play another snap for Bears again it seems that this deal might get done.

I don't like it and I don't think we should cut Washington if it does go down. I agree with the majority in believing that we need d-line help above all else. The only good thing I see with this trade is that at 31 we could get one of the top guards in the draft..... but that would still leave us with one of the weakest d-lines in the league!

I think that the only thing that will stop this deal is if the FO has gotten excited about the prospect of trading up with the Browns and getting Johnson.

Yeah, that's where I thought the Marcus Washinton comment originally came from. There's word that he could have a serious injury, so it follows that Briggs could be his eventual replacement.

If he's not suffering from a serious injury, then by no means do you cut him.

Can we agree though that a player shouldn't be kept if his performance doesn't warrant it? Is it beyond reason to think that this could someday happen to Marcus Washington?

I like the guy, but come on, it's not like he'll join Sammy Baugh as the only other Redskin to have his jersey number retired.
