"You hate to get into that whole 'lack of respect' thing," Briggs said. "But you play four years for a team, do your best, exceed
their expectations, right? And every year, it's like, 'You played great, Lance.' And they kind of dangle the carrot, like they're
going to take care of you, and then it doesn't happen. I mean, I was a middle-round pick and I've played well for them. Four years
and at just middle-round salaries. I haven't caused any kinds of problems. I've done everything they asked and them some. And I
don't know if I ever really knew where I stood with them until they put the tag on me."
