I agree. This year is about giving Young pieces to properly evaluate him. If he still struggles and delivers us the top pick, Sanders (or whoever we pick) will have a better OL and hopefully better playmakers to work with. We are trying to build a competent offense for ANY QB to step in and have a chance to succeed. These big OGs aren't just for Bryce, they are for our running game and any QB we throw back there.

For the record he wanted to keep Luvu. Luvu wanted to play for Quinn because of the pass rushing opportunities in his defense. The Burns deal is just the Sweat deal.

You all realize we need better IOL play regardless who the QB is? If we draft one next year, having an actual pocket will help him develop more than anything else could. It also helps the running game which is a QBs best friend.

The defense isn’t done yet. Looks like he wanted to keep Luvu, but Luvu wanted to play for Quinn to get more pass rushing attempts. So the only major thing was the Burns trade which no one here wanted to pay him the $30 million he got.

There you go! Luvu just wanted to play somewhere else.

Corbett is the center now

Burns wanted $30 million a year. We refused to pay that and traded him to a team that would. It’s pretty simple really.

No one is trading for any of those players.

We are doing 2 things here IMO. 1. clearing out any mid level contracts to older players or players we feel are currently overvalued. 2. putting together enough pieces to properly evaluate Young to decide if he is in our new staff’s future or not. And no these pieces aren’t strictly related to Young’s skillset. They are needed for any QB trying to run a functional offense.

If he does that’s great. He wasn’t doing it here so why would we pay him a HOF player contract?

Yes. This is the deal.

Hunt is a need for whoever is QB next year as well. The Eagles already reset the market with Dickinson. Hunt is a top 5 RG at 26 years old and got paid top dollar on day 1 of FA.

He is a 26 year old top OG and he got top market day 1 of FA. He also fills a HUGE (pun intended) need. It all makes sense.

The Burns trade was just the Sweat trade with an extra 5th. Both are similar players.

The Burns trade is just similar to the Sweat trade. Burns is a slightly better pass rusher but a worse run stopper. We got an additional 5th.

So it’s $63 guaranteed over 5 years. It’s really not that bad…

How will we ever get those 2 wins without those pieces of our 2 win roster???

People keep overlooking the guaranteed money as well. The $100 million was a number for his agent.

Big gap in the contract vs guaranteed money.

Yeah he was solid, but nothing special. Probably a little overhyped by our fans…

Meltdown incoming…

lol we would have 3 second round picks too…. Trade them for 6 plus 3rds just to be safe

They have 2 this year

Giants have 2 2nds. What about that?
