Offers for Burns

I’m open to dealing literally anyone but you cannot miss if you’re going to deal Burns.

If Philly doesn’t include the Saints 1st rounder I hang up. It’s two 1st rounder + imo

Then there’s the whole we’ll have to hit on a pass rusher in the draft bit of this equation too.

This is one that could go either way. Because he hasn’t signed an extension yet has he?

 

no.  and this is a sticking point...if his agent tells us he doesn't want to be part of hte rebuild, unknown coach coming in, and he'd be reluctant to sign with us....we'd have to think about it seriously

It makes sense if you don’t wanna pay him and start young again at the position. Big risk you don’t hit though. 


That’s true as well. If he doesn’t want to be here or we don’t want to be the highest bidder.

This. The key positions are QB, pass rusher, OT, WR, CB, and DT. That's just IMO. We have some pretty damn good players at all of those positions except for QB. Deal Burns though and now you're devoid of talent at two of those key spots. Not to mention still having needs among those positions. We still need to find an edge opposite of Burns. A long-term DT beside Brown. A running mate opposite Moore. We have enough needs that moving Burns has to net a MASSIVE haul. Someone would have to come with more than "good" value. We need to commit highway robbery on someone to rationalize the move.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
