Offers for Burns

[Proudiddy]

Yup.  I'd rather keep him, but if they want to move him that's the minimum.

“well believe it or not, we actually had some good players. We thought you’d hate that though, so we got rid of them and figured you’d want to just hope for the best.”

It's already going to be an uphill climb to get anyone worth having. I don't see the logic behind gutting the team of any actual talent and considering that an enticement. I fear we're going to be here this time next year wondering WTF they were thinking. I hope the FO makes me eat those words but, I just don't think anyone there has a clue about running a football team.

What about a 1st (Saints), a 2nd, 4th and a 3rd and 5th the following year. Would you do it? I don't see anybody giving up 2 1st rounds (IMO).

So more picks is not better? Letting the new coach totally rebuild this team isn't better?

the team isn’t out to grind an axe against Matt rhule because they’re the Big Mad, they clearly view the defense as being more or less ready and will almost certainly look to build up the offensive side of the ball.

rebuilds don’t take 5 seasons.

then you don’t do it.

as I noted, Jamal adams commanded two 1’s and change. Brian burns is a far more valuable asset than Jamal adams. 
 

the goal isn’t to have lots of draft picks, it’s to have good players at marquee positions

Correct. It takes 7 seasons.

Okay so we trade him for two firsts and then waste two first trying to replace him. Just keep the guy. You need a premier pass rusher.

With the 3 that have already past, plus another 7 years, rounds out to a nice, even decade. Makes perfect sense.

You hope to hit on a 1st rounder and land a Burns-type. I don't see how trading helps when the pick could be for a less impactful player.

I'd trade him to the Eagles for both their 1sts this year, along with a 3rd and the Aints 2nd in 2024. Anything less I pass. Burns has his faults but elite young pass rushers are damn near impossible to find these days. Better to just keep building the front 7 around him if we get less than that.

Important to consider contract situation. Burns gonna get paid massively soon, and there is some debate whether his all around game will even be worth the contract he'll get. Aints pick could easily wind up being top 5 -- we could get QB at 1st overall along with an elite pass rusher prospect with that pick. Sure, not guaranteed to hit like Burns did but I'd take those chances for a cheaper player and then more picks being added too. Grab a WR/RB/TE with the Eagles' 1st and we could be sitting pretty.

Love these scenarios

"I want two 1sts, a 3rd and 5th this year and a 2nd and 4th next season, Reading Railroad and a side of fries."

Lots of shadetree GM's here today

[Panthercougar68]

I would be fine with this deal if they had a Brian Burns type player but there isn’t a lot of upper  echelon type pass rushers. There are prospects for sure but nothing I would bet my money on being better than Burns

How about 2 number 1 draft picks and
