Burns is probably going to be traded right?

If Burms was doing Khalil Mack numbers and shizz I could see us getting a haul but I just don’t see it.

 

Make it make sense.

like CMC?

Trading picks for a SB winning head coach who's been an offensive genius in our division who's going to be getting calls from multiple teams. Yeah, it'll take multiple 1sts.

True true. I was just hoping other organizations were as bad as us.

Things get messy for obvious reasons with a tag and trade, so generally that’s probably not going to happen. 

Isn’t he eligible for a 5th year option? And that’s in 2024, meaning there is still plenty of time.

CMC made sense from all angles but the only one it makes for Burns is if he is wanting out and demanding a trade. Which is possible.

Otherwise the smart move is to simply let the new regimen make that call and still have time to trade him if needed unless I am missing something.

To what end? So we can trade him for chump change?

If we got a mid-low 2nd and change for CMC, a 5th for Burns is probably what Fit will settle for.

Its not a sale.

Its a fire sale.

I wouldn't be surprised if our power ranking was 33 after this week.

He’s on his fifth year option this season so if we don’t get an extension or trade done by the deadline, the only leverage we have is a tag. 

[davos]

But a DE tag is so pricey that you might as well workout an extension that is backloaded and has a high bonus. So we pretty much need to be negotiating with him now if we want him here.

It was picked up this year, but doesn’t it run through next season?

Yea so, the new HC will be here soon enough, let him make the call imo. You’re risking injury and whatever trade is on the table now of course but that’s really it. I think the biggest risk is the new HC wanting to have him and not attracting said HC by trading him away.

You also could argue this is when Burns as his highest value vs waiting a year when what you can get for him plummets exponentially.

I thought about that. But I see and would bet Burns getting better or at least keeping on par for the rest of the season, especially with Brown now stepping it up.

This would mean (easily) coming off a double digit sack season, so I don’t see his value plummeting.

Plus what the new HC wants really should be priority. While I love the idea of stacking picks, key pieces are still needed and a bonus to attract candidates.

I guess these last few years has me pessimistic but I’d love to believe you are right.
