REPORT: Burns practically a "lock" to be traded before the deadline

Tanking is a fan thing. Might as well go ahead and prepare yourself for the inevitability that we win a few games and end up with the 4th or 5th pick. It's just what we do.

I'm not sure this team has the ability to win a few. It's really between us and Texas on who has the worst team and Texas might have the better ball club. I thought this team was a 6 win team at best and it's looking more like we are a 3 win team at best.

Valid but your point cuts both ways in this discussion. Those claims about being given incentives for tanking are all the more reason for teams to be extra mindful not to give any indication of impropriety. So again we're back to tanking talk being mostly a fan dream.

Yeah teams can’t openly admit they are tanking but don’t think for a second it doesn’t happen. You don’t think the colts tanked to get Luck? poo…. Dolphins tried to, other teams tried to as well. I think it may be against the rules to do it but it happens. Also teams aren’t going to admit it because it would cause fans to not spend money on tickets, because if the team don’t care why should the fans?

If they trade him or let him walk I’ll be done with the team. Not that I’m a fan bc of Burns, but this team keeps shitting on our core players. From peppers, to smitty, to how we handled DWill, to Cam, and now possibly Burns and CMC. Tepper alone has made it harder to care for the team. 

The story is bullish-t

The guy I’m trying to trade is Derrick Brown

I think he’s going to be good for a long time but if you can get a 1st and change for him you do it 

If everything goes according to plan and we get our high draft pick next year for a QB by the time we start to compete we’ll have to pay Brown. I don’t think paying him and Burns makes sense. So he’s definitely one I’m taking calls on

The Jets should pair him and Q up together

If I'm Burns, the only thing keeping me in CAR is a franchise tag and with that, I'd request a trade.  No way he wants to re-sign at this point.  He's in a beaut spot to get a major contract from a good team.

He's under his 5th year option and we haven't agreed to a new contract.  So, I ask those so anxious about the thought of losing him: What do you think is going to realistically happen?

He's not going to want to stay unless we tag him which will be north of $20 mil.  He can ask for as much as he wants, and honestly, will be able to get a sh*tload elsewhere.  

Everyone jibber-jabboring about this being a stupid move doesn't seem to understand it may be out of our control.  

We're walking ourselves into a Peppers situation again...
