PrintCoach Singletary spoke to the 49ers beat writers today and had an update on the Diyral Briggs situation:
On whether it was a difficult decision to waive LB Diyral Briggs on Monday:
"It was a tough decision. It really was. But it's something that we felt we needed to do, and you know, sometimes you have to make those tough decisions. Yes, it was difficult."
On why Briggs wasn't moved back to the 53-man roster Tuesday:
"Well, because we have our 53 men set. And we didn't want to make a move that way when we felt that the opportunity that we had for him was very similar to the one that Denver had for him. And we weren't going to play the cat and mouse game. I felt that if Diyral wanted to be here, he knows the system, he is familiar with the coaches, and sometimes a player and his agent will talk and figure things out another way, so that's what happened."
There was a previous tweet from Maiocco that the Broncos offered twice the practice squad minimum. I don't think we'll ever get a complete answer at this point. Coach Singletary's comments are certainly interesting as they infer certain things about the dealings between player/agent and team without going into much detail.

On why Briggs wasn’t moved back to the 53-man roster Tuesday: “Well, because we have our 53 men set…”
does that mean Tramaine Brock is here to stay? i had assumed he would be cut soon for ILB depth, depending on Takeo’s knee.
Some people think outside the box. Some people think inside the box. Me? I got kicked out of the box, and they won't let me back in.
Is there a transcript on Sing's media release , i like reading them ...!!

If that's his real answer, it doesn't fly!
I think that the Niners really thought that they could slip him through waivers and add him to the PS with no difficulty. Surprise! Maybe we should think more carefully next time!

Sure it does
my guess is that he was trying to negotiate for more money and the team said no, thus the signing with Denver’s practice squad.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
NFL network has the Niner Saint's game on tonite ...

The 49ers broadcast is on 107.7 FM and KNBR 680/1050AM. And if you’re so inclined, the Spanish broadcast is on 1010AM and 990 AM.

Letting Briggs go is a BIG mistake - simple like that.
And I’m very dissappointed with sings commment, his way of putting controversial issues aside:
“It was a tough decision. It really was. But it’s something that we felt we needed to do, and you know, sometimes you have to make those tough decisions.
Bla bla. F***

I think so too, but one to question the entire staff, no it isn't that big.
Your Kung-fu is so-so, i had to laugh at the challenge.
Yeah
We’ve got how many OLBs on the roster? Briggs would’ve been lucky to see any playing time behind Lawson, Haralson, Brooks and LaBoy.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
No way
LaBoy is good.
Briggs has some potential but LaBoy is better than him right now and helps the team win this season.

Decisions
When you’re in charge you have to make decisions then move on. The future may show it was a mistake, or it may show that it wasn’t worth being bothered about because Briggs will be forgotten as Sheets was.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
wrong decision IMO
all I’m saying is: I believe it was the wrong decision, as there were other, better options around. For instance waiving WR Kevin Jurovich, OT Matt Kopa or S Chris Maragos. Briggs would have been the last one I’d let go, considering that Lawson might be gone next year and Haralson is losing it. But only future will tell – as you said it.
The guys you listed
Are on the practice squad. Briggs was waived from the 53-man roster so someone else would’ve have to had been waived. Briggs could have been brought back to the PS as there was an open spot, since filled by Bruce Davis.
What sucks is that had Ginn not gotten hurt, Hill would not have been resigned. That means the roster would not have been adjusted. But injuries cause rosters to get shuffled in unplanned ways.

Gah
Beat me to it.

you're correct & I was wrong
But the logic is the same: guys like Chris Patrick, Alex Boone or even Demetric Evans would have been better options, since it’s rather unlikely they’d attention from other teams, whereas Briggs was a hot commodity.
Those guys you mentioned are practice squad players
Briggs was waived from the 53-man roster because the team was short on CBs.

Cut Wragge when Heitmann returns and sign Briggs back to the active roster.
TWISITWODBF
(Tont Wragge is standing in the way of Diyral Briggs Future)
What about Curtis Taylor?
Wragge might be better than Snyder so I wouldn’t cut him.
