I can't believe I agree with offiss. Geez. Anyways yeah. I'd rather trade down and take Willis who is cheaper. I am just not sold on the greatness of Briggs. Good yeah but great? No. I see a guy like Willis as a cheaper alternative who could possibly be even better than Briggs.

But I also agree with Matty. If they are to do this deal I would put the thumb screws to Angelo. They're the ones who countered a silly counter to our offer and ended the trade basically. Now on the eve they come back looking to possibly take the original deal? Shoot I'd ask for a 3rd rounder in addition to Briggs now.

Exactly. If we can extract an additional pick in this deal, like a 3rd rounder or something, then the deal has my blessing even though it would relegate Rocky to the bench. I'm interested in acquiring multiple players to fill a few needs, and I don't care how it gets done.

I guess I'll jump on the Offiss bandwagon too. I wasn't sold on Briggs then, and I'm not sold on Briggs now. He's good, but not great. And if he aint great, we shouldn't be flaunting the sixth pick and turn right around and pay a sh*t load of money for Briggs' services.

I really think it's as plain and simple as that.
