Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

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.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
