Yeah, you're right. We don't want a guy who had 9+ tackles in a game 7 times last year, and 4 FF, and that's including the playoffs. In the last 3 years, Urlacher has 2 more TD's then him, but Briggs has only been playing for 3 years, and Urlacher has been playing since 2000, so Brian has more experience. Brian only had 8 more tackles then Lance did last year, and Lance had 1 sack, compared to Brian's 0, and 4 FF, while Brian had 1.
And saying you don't want a guy like this on the team is stupid. Fine, let's just not sign a Pro Bowl LB just because he claims he never wants to play another down with the Bears. I'm sure if he gets $50 million over 5 years, he will be more then happy then to play with us.
