Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns


Recommended Posts

How is Burns blowing up the team? You are about to pay him $25M a year for 8-9 sacks a year. We can do a lot for that like add a Hopkins or Hill or AJ Brown. Then you also have two firsts.

He's only 24 and on pace for 12 sacks this season, without a decent bookend on the other side. We need a few pieces and we can compete now. Go get him help on the other side and the sacks will come. That's just my prediction, which is no sillier than your prediction of him only getting 8-9 sacks per year in the future.

I'd want something else thrown in, this year. 

If they want to throw in a third round pick this year, that would give us our first, our and SF's second, and then SF's and the Rams' third.  That is a good position to be in, and if we wanted to move up we could probably package something to move back into the mid-late first round.

The sand is running out of the hourglass for the Rams' window, so we have some leverage here.

I live Burns, but the fact we have no idea what defense we will play next year (unless Wilks is the HC), his contract is due up soon, and he has been known to miss a few tackles/sacks would make this tempting.

Crazy good deal and perfect for our time frame. We don't need Burns sacks this season, or next. Neither of those seasons will be good. Then we get those 1st round picks to add to hopefully to a QB who is coming into his own. Perfect.

If the firsts were in 2023 and 2024, I think Carolina probably takes this deal. Being in 2024 and 2025 makes it tougher because there's no guarantee the current GM and whoever is the new coach would be making that 2025 pick.

1. Rams are going to be in cap hell in a couple of years

2. They have no draft capital to get better

3.  McVay flirted with retiring last off season

4. Stafford isnt getting better

5. Donold will be 33

 

They are going to suck in a couple years

You also have to wonder why this is getting so much press. I feel like someone in the Panthers could be leaking this to up any last minute offers for Burns. Wouldn't shock me if we end up trading him after all, especially if anything gets added to the offer. If we get a haul, I wouldn't hate it. But we'd really have to hit big in the draft. This defense would have no pass rush as is minus Burns and a defense without a pass rush is no defense.

You need either a more assured high pick or a younger known commodity/player (or both) in a Burns deal.  

Not taking it personally.  

Maybe if they tossed in Van Jefferson and some mid rounders but hard no.  They're not the team I'd want to send him to, can get better elsewhere or just keep him and see if we can work something out within the next year.

    • LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess. 
    • gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare. 
    • All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
