I also wondered if Briggs might be done here. I don't think he's been happy without Brian and Lovie here. I've read where he's avoided interviews the last couple of weeks and has generally been unhappy. Thought that might just be because he's playing in a crummy defense. Getting some good players around him might improve his mood. He's always unhappy about something....his contract, crashing his new Lamborghini, etc. He always plays through it and plays fine. I don't take anything out of his performance the last 2 weeks. I think you definitely bring him back for some stability and because he's still young enough to resume being a pro bowl caliber LB. I could see it either way. We don't have a any LB's at all outside of Briggs, so that obviously speaks to keeping him, but he'd be a lot of cap space if you wanted to go another way and get younger.
