Wow, Bryce has ALL day to throw.

The Falcons are going nowhere this year. Ridder is bad

If his availability is low again this season we need to replace him.

Guys, Bryce is already way better than any of the multi year vets we’ve had the past few years. This is going to be a fun year.

It is the first half of the first game. Overdue for a Horn injury.

Can you guys believe we didn’t take those two future firsts?

Yeah, auto draft selected him as my #1 WR too. Sucks.

I don’t get the Fitt meme.

Can you imagine the future picks we could have had for prime Luke.

It’s automatic now. Starting QB is a captain.

Not really. Stroud and Richardson are captains. Burrow was a captain. The list goes on.

Sort of. There are limits to how much the cap can be manipulated. It’s a mistake to say it doesn’t matter.

I heard Burns and Fitt were going to negotiate live during halftime.

Fit said they offered CHI more picks but they would only do the deal if they could get a player.

LA offered a 2024 and a 2025 1st. It wasn’t for this past draft.

So they got really lucky? No, because our depth is trash and that would guarantee us 1-2 terrible seasons until we claim those picks. I WOULD have traded him for 2 first rounders and a 2nd this past draft though.

I don’t follow. Did they trade their best D player for a 2025 1st rounder?

So you don’t want a pass rush until 2026?

What’s the end game here? He holds out a few games until finally caving? If he holds out all year, he loses $16 mill and his 5th year contract just starts over next year. Maybe we get a second shot at trading him? I think he knows he has to play eventually so he will play on Sunday.

No one yet. They were 24 and 25 picks.

If that’s true, then Burns needs to test the open market.

I’d love to know what the hold up really is. Does he want 30/yr or does he just want a ton of guaranteed money? I don’t want a guy who’s contract will make this team less competitive for the next 4-5 years. If the gap is small, Fitt just needs to bite the bullet.

Sounds like Burns isn’t practicing today. Frank says he won’t know what’s going to happen until Sunday.

I don’t know if they gave him false hope. They liked him but wanted to see who else was out there. I think that was made clear. Regardless, Wilks with Holcomb and whoever else at OC was not the best plan for developing a rookie QB. Frank came in with specific names of coordinators he’d bring in (according to Fitt) which ultimately is what won him the job.
