BB doesn't half the hype prime Adams does, for one.

Ones an in the box safety one is a pro bowl DE, I don’t buy that one minute 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

I’d trade him. He’s overrated and we need a DE that can actually close on sacks

[SOJA]

Call me crazy but I wouldn't give up Burns for anything less than the Mack trade the Raiders got a few years ago

[RJK]

Do it. He’s going to want top 10 pass rusher $ and he’s not a top 10 pass rusher 

[Krovvy]

Go ahead. We need key players cut or traded every few years to inform the shallow minded fans how bad it can really get at a position group and how difficult it can be to mend.

[Snake]

Yeah... Like we were supposed to trade CMC.

Burns isn't getting moved in the middle of the season with an interim coach. I don't know that he's worth the payday he's going to ask for but if we move him what becomes of the rest of the pass rush? What sparse resources we have going forward will or should be used to continue to build the oline and make this boring offense formidable again. It's easy to say get what you can for him but odds are those fans will be singing a different tune when they see our nonexistent pass rush and jag QB's having all day in the pocket.

[Aussie Tank]

I love Burns but if we did get offered a kings ransom jump on it. Can always replace him with Anderson in the draft saving a fortune in the process 

[Proudiddy]

I also see Cowboys fans jizzing all over themselves on Twitter demanding that Jerry go get them DJ Moore...  ESPN thsi week has also featured Keyshawn, JWill, and Max diacussing DJ to help their Giants.  As I've said elsewhere, we just fired our coach, our owner appears to be an arrogant, pompous idiot, and national media sees it as our franchise being in complete disarray, so of course, they view us as the NFL's little brother team that they can use to fulfill all of their fantasy trade needs...  fug logic and reasoning, "I wont that player from that team nobody cares about Jerrah!"  

But again, completely forget the fact that DJ just signed a contract extension and it makes NO fuging sense for us to trade him because of the cap hit we would incur.  I don't put any weight into any of these "reports."  These assholes from major markets are pushing this poo for clicks.

[Jon Snow]

Sounds like they are switching to a base 4-3. No more hybrid crap.

Is Burns over rated? His size limits him and he doesn’t get 10 sacks. Would he be better in a 3-4 as an OLB? 
 

he’s probably our most valuable asset and will be wanting a lot of money. Why not trade him when we can probably get a first and another top pick. Possibly 2 first? Or a first and a second or third? Pass rushers are highly valued.

Who cares we are tanking. We are going to need a few years to become a contender. Trade everyone now for maximum value or we can keep everyone on big contracts and stay an average to below average team.

Yeah but Jamal was looked at as the Luke Kuchely of SS. Strong locker room guy, elite in the box and was capable in coverage. The Seahawks thought he was the missing piece. The overpay sorta kinda made sense for a team looking to replace Kam.

Brian Burns is really good, but he's gonna want cap instantly so you have to weigh whether or not he's wroth it compared to getting a young talent in the Late first for 4-5 years.

Basically what I'm saying is Jamal was a special, dumb case. It's not gonna happen with Burns
