Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

[Mr. Scot]

Gotta wonder if the Rams would pivot to pursuing Chubb if the Panthers are definitively saying no.

 Not true. Guys like Von Miller are around the same size and he can play in a 3-4 or 4-3.

Yeah but that's going to be a run liability and I don't want to sub. I want a guy who can stay in and play the run or pass at a high level.

We're really gonna  hold tight and say fug a rebuild aren't we?  Stupid poo like this is why we stay a mediocre franchise...we're not a big enough market to just naturally attract a free agent so we need to actually build through the draft...

 

Burns is a very good player but turning this poo down is gonna make him command best at his position type money which would be idiotic as hell...

All this "but it's only worth ... " people need to go take a nap. We're not competing this year. We're not competing next year. But yeahhhh, let's overpay Burns (which we will) and then not even care about having two first round picks in 2024 and two first round picks in 2025. No one wants first round picks! You never get good players in the first round!

Their absolutely right. We are about to get nothing for him. He's not going to stay unless we give him Charles Johnson type money. 

[pantherj]

Well Burn's agent can now go into contract negotiations with "Burns is the cornerstone of this defense, and he wants to be compensated as such" type talk.

Today on The Huddle: DIEHARDS versus LOGICAL THINKERS!

Logic doesn’t equal true. It’s the best tool we have, but that’s it. 

There’s also people here who say “logic” but don’t really know what it means. 
 

You can also use deductive logic to make valid statements concluding in untruths.

 

On top of that, roster building is entirely subjective, and the best anyone can do is strengthen or weaken an opinion. 
 

So good luck to everyone thinking there is any kind of objective truth at all, let alone when it comes to the formation of an NFL roster. 
 

So what does diehards vs. logical thinkers even mean?

BRIAN BURNSEDGE, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports the Rams offered two first-round draft picks for Panthers EDGE Brian Burns. 

Last week's reports of Carolina fielding massive offers for Burns were not, it turns out, a smoke screen. The Rams, per Breer, were once again going with the "eff them picks" approach to team building as the team collapses on itself after its 2021 Super Bowl run. Burns is set to hit free agency and currently has four sacks, putting him on pace for a career year. That the Panthers didn't take two first rounders for Burns is stunning. The team seems incapable of committing to a full-blown rebuild.

Easy there, Aristotle.

[Wundrbread33]

So many people here actually believe they have it all figured out, and if you disagree, you’re an idiot. 
 

Hopefully these people are just young. That poo is cancer. 

[Mr. Scot]

Well, that takes the Rams out of that scenario.

A first round pick in 2025 is  worth what now? A third maybe. And a 1st in the 20s in 2024 is worth what? Maybe a little more. So we trade our best pass rusher who has improved significantly for what amounts to a couple of middle round picks in value. We can pay him and still have a low cap number in 2023 as new extensions are always cap friendly in year 1.

That's a simplistic way of looking at this.
