Burns is probably going to be traded right?

He could get injured and miss the rest of the season, and someone would still give up a first rounder for him in the offseason if we tag him.

He's a 24 year old elite pass rusher, he could be that for another 8-10 years.

I don’t know man. CMC is literally as close to a hall of fame ability we have had in this roster and now you are saying we can get a first for Burns after we pay him what he wants? 
 

Make it make sense.

I’d keep Moore and Burns, both 25 (or under) and will be helpful for this rebuild.

I’d definitely move Shaq and I’d be open to moving Moton as well, if the price was right.

Unless we go ham to resign Burns why stay when free agency would be his best career path?

and if that's true

why would anyone trade for him when they know he's going away in FA anyway?

There's been literally zero smoke from Burns is unhappy camp and wants to leave but. You know I am posting on the huddle immeately after a big trade happens so what am I expecting here, rly.

[AggieLean]

I wouldn’t trade Burns. I wouldn’t trade DJ. I wouldn’t trade D Brown. 
 

You get whatever you can for Shaq, though.  I doubt anyone wants DJax with his brand new contract.

True, teams are smart unlike us and will wait the situation out. So our choice is to trade Burns for cheap before we re-sign him or trade him for even cheaper once we give him all that money.

Burns may not want to be part of a rebuild. He's seen the dysfunction of Tepper as owner and Rhule as HC. He could just want to get the hell out of here too. We may not get a choice. We may have to trade him.

There seems to be a very limited understanding of how importance of position, contract, age and other factors play into whether a player is one you trade or one you try to keep. 

A clue: players who play key hard to fill positions in the passing game, such as disruptive pass rushers entering their prime and still on rookie deals, do not tend to get traded, their very valuable.

A second clue: stars underperforming their contracts playing positions not hard to fill or replace and that do not tend to be the difference in winning playoff games, tend to get traded if value can be received in return.

Pass rushers are FAR more valuable than RBs.

Fair point. But like I said what is the end game here. We are 2 years(if we are lucky) to 5 years of being a competitive team. What is the end game?

[Jackie Lee]

Who wants Shaq? He's a complete jag with a bad attitude. I think he's gotten more immature in the last 2 years somehow

I don’t see how we kept burns. We are going full on burn it to the ground for a new coach it seems. 

Nah, we got rid of Anderson and CMC.  Anderson was having issues, and CMC is getting older in running back years.  If Burns, or Chinn, or DJ get traded though, you might be right.

What coach is going to want to go to a franchise with no good players and no cap room, you can only do so much in the draft.

I’m not disagreeing with you on one hand. But we still have a lot of young talent, a really good offensive line finally and as bad as Tepper was with how long he kept Rhule, it does signal to incoming coaches that they will be given time. And that’s something.

[Mol3m4n]

I say trade him because he's the king of almost.

Better capitalize on the NFLs belief that Burns is an elite pass rusher before it’s too late
