What is your main gripe with the proposed Briggs deal?

1) Team chemistry/impact on Rocky
2) Cap space assuming he signs for $20 mil guaranteed & has a contract more favorable to him a la AA & Loyd.

These 2 are so intertwined, team chemistry is impacted more by big $ signings than by vet. min. signings. I sure hope that the coaches think Rocky can play, if not this trade might make a lot more sense.

Other than this, on paper this is so obviously a good deal for us. We'd get a big time LB that is definitely an upgrade, and we could draft a DE or DT at 31. That's 2 starters for our ailing D.

Glad you asked the question Matty, cause I think some of the responses here have been quite irrational.
