IF "Little Animal" stays...

I don't know enough about the position to know whether or not Briggs is fit for that position. Is he? What would make him not so?

What about pure MLBs in Free Agency? Are there none worth having?

As for Vilma, I agree he would be a major upgrade if healthy. There's a part of me that thinks he'll have a remarkable recovery once he hears he's been traded away.

I think Briggs is more than capable of making the switch. I offered this opinion about a month or more ago and Mike Detellier has since also suggested that Briggs could move inside. He likened the situation to Will Witherspoon who also moved inside and has done a great job for the Rams. Briggs has the awareness to be a very solid MLB. And his speed and ability to move sideline-to-sideline does not hurt.

As far as pure MLBs, a lesser known prospect, Dontarrious Thomas, could get a look at MLB. Of course, if we were to sign Thomas, I would still sign Briggs and put him at WLB to add more speed to the LB corps.
