Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him.

Won't claim to have looked, but from what I understand his contract isn't all that expensive. 

4.8M, 6th highest on the team.  Only 1M in deadcap if we cut.

I'm not there tho.  It looks like a big drop off.

Conspiracy theory time!:

Pride is a beast of an athlete that does not play with his back to the LOS well---he is a soft cushion CB--I just think he will end up at S eventually.  I have not heard this anywhere, and a DB expert may call my comments preposterous or imbecilic, but gosh darn, I want to see some creativity at these need positions.  Pride is a special teamer who will not see the field behind Horn, Jackson, Bouye, Melvin, and Taylor. Why the heck not?

coach is not going to tolerate failure...like him more every day

we are in a world of hurt at LB

Next season's needs list

  • Left Tackle (maybe)
  • Middle Linebacker (how about one that takes shots)
  • Free Safety  (or a moderately-priced one)
  • Quarterback (even if Darnold is great, what is up with Grier?)

I'd say left tackle is always a need until we can go into training camp knowing who is starting without question.  My gut says, if that isn't Moton, then we don't have that guy yet.

Yeah it seems he can stick with guys pretty well, just not comfortable turning his head around when they call for the ball. Safety would work if he can hit, not sure we've seen that side of his game

If we cut Burris, Thomas and Jansen how much money does that save us for this year? I would think if a good safety becomes available Burris could possibly get cut.

Burris might not be great, but I'm not sure I like the idea of rolling with what's behind him.

    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
    • Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
