I like the Briggs option... to be totally honest... but will Briggs take it? If he wants Wlad fighting Briggs, while it shuts Briggs up if he wins, really is no impetus for Wlad because honestly Wlad had little interest in fighting Briggs in the first place.

Jennings has to decide for his VERY NEXT FIGHT if whether or not he wants the Wilder/Stiverne track and wait, and in the meantime fight a bottom 20 BUM as a warm up. Or, he takes on one of Wlad's previous opponents- Leapai, Wach, Pianetta or the like, bust them up, and then ask Wlad for a shot.

He can pull off the latter if he stays away from dangerous fights like Pulev or Povektin.
