I think Briggs is going to pan out to be a very average LB outside of CHI. His position in that D is tailor made to post greatly exaggerated numbers. It's happened before with LBs playing that spot in that D when they move on to other teams.

 

As for the other FAs, I can't see CLE letting Anderson move on, and likewise with Moss & NE. Turner is the obvious impact FA on the list, but I really, really like Bryant Johnson's chance to break out when he gets his chance to get out from under the Fitz/Boldin shadow, much like Curtis turned into a very good #2 FF WR with low #1 upside in future years when he escaped the Holt/Bruce situation.

Bring Turner the Burner to Chi-Town.

 

And BB is most likely correct on the Briggs thing. Teams gameplan to remove Urlacher which leaves his partners in crime more room to roam. Anyone remember Warrick Holdman? Thought so. And now that Colvin is back to 100% he's not nearly the beast he was in Chicago either.

We'll trade yo even up for Rexy! And throw in Gilmore for that mediocre Turner guy.

He finally gets to get out from under Fitz/Boldin & you think he wants to go to CAR & sit behind Smith/Jarrett?

 

He'd start ahead of Jarret with his shoes tied together. Jarrett hasn't shown anything and isn't entitled to it either with this coaching staff. Colbert will be long gone and so will Carter if they can land a veteran.

Wow. So every WR who doesn't light the league up as a rookie will suck forever? Have you checked out Steve Smith's rookie year receiving numbers?

It has nothing to do with physical abilities. The word here locally is that he didn't have the "mental" capabilities to master the playbook. That's why he was inactive for so many games. Physically he's exactly what they wanted, he's big and makes a nice target. He just could not show any grasp of the offense over the course of the year. I'm just passing on what's been reported here locally.

That has as much to do with scheme as it does with anything. Colvin's playing OLB in a 3-4. His numbers would definitley suffer from when he was playing in CHI's scheme.
