Answer: Better than Luvu, according to some

I get what you’re saying about Burns, but his value is higher than you think. It wouldn’t be a straight up swap. 

I imagine they have a good idea of who their starting center will be and it is not a college player. 

Anyone with a brain realizes that BY was put in a no win situation last year. Give him some protection and weapons and then see what you have. 

We have a fresh start. Add some weapons and some protection for 9 and let’s see how it goes. 

Similar to the Saints investing in interior OL to help Brees.

Jamo and the 29th pick.

I have been asking for this since before the trade deadline last year.

didnt he have two acl injuries among other issues?

Yes, but played like a madman for the last 2 years and stayed healthy. 

This crossed my mind because of the Canales connection, but I do not think the timing is right even if Dave wanted to do it.

the difference between our board's perception of Burns and the Falcons board.  They have a thread about PFF's Top 50 free agents and they have fans who really want him...including this post

Posted: yesterday at 3:08pm Post by CombatFalcon on yesterday at 3:08pm Open up the vaults for Brian Burns if he hits free agency. That man is a terror. I'd take Burns over Hunter or Allen.

If you only watched the first Falcons game, you would agree. The problem was the other 16 games. 

Maybe Wilkes can make another social media post about how lucky he is. 

Maybe we could hire him as DB coach or assistant ST coach. 

He sure seems to be a lot healthier these days. Besides that, whatever. He doesn't play for this franchise any longer. 

Hard to say no when a SB QB was the LAST pick in the draft. 

Was that after they drafted the long snapper in the 6th? 

I don’t think either side looked good coming out of it. 

So Joe Person reported it. I was wondering where the news came from. Good news!

It's only a "dodged bullet" if Canales is successful.

That's a question that won't be answered for a while.

That’s fair. It’ll also be interesting to see how Johnson does as HC IF he ever takes that step. We can all name some GREAT coordinators who never successfully made that next step.

Don't know if that's a "dodged bullet" or not just yet.

Probably also worth noting that some of the quotes in this piece read like damage control on the Commanders part.

"See, he didn't turn us down. We turned HIM down! Yeah...that's right"

Call it whatever we want. Maybe, “Thank God for unanswered prayers.” If some of the scuttlebutt is true, he is not good HEAD coach material.

Good, the feeling is mutual.

How about we trade back a few picks, likely still get the same guy and pick up another selection to draft a second WR?

I think something like that will be on the table. And the first pick of the second round is always a popular pick. 

Some people are not meant to be head coaches. He just may be one of them. Whether Canales works out or not, I am glad the Panthers dodged a bullet with Johnson. 

Yeah, not sure this meant what people think it meant, but I would love to have TD around in whatever capacity possible. 

Yeah, I could see a tag and trade working out for Higgins. He would be “the man” here. Could also see Evans following Canales. Bucs players were really disappointed to lose him. Panthers will probably have to at least slightly overpay free agents. Would still need to add a WR in the draft. Canales is used to working with WRs who get open. That room is going to look much different in ‘24.
