There is more proof that they will succeed than fail next year. They will have the most continuity of any team in the NFL with their coaching staff and roster. This year they are ridden with the injury bug and dealing with the loss of Miller.

3-4 this year is competitive... have you looked at the standings? They are right in the middle of the pack competing for a playoff spot. Burns would be a strong contributor to helping them climb.

Which is why they are making the offer, but you can’t kick the can down the road forever. This sets us up to be the team that cashes in when their checks inevitably bounce, and they WILL eventually. This is the only time this type of deal is available. If there was no hope they wouldn’t offer the picks, but there is WAY more risk on the Rams part than there was a season or two ago when they started down this road, and their window will slam shut for years when it closes. Also, the injury bug tends to visit older teams.

Carolina claiming Burns is a top 10 pass rusher?

2018 - 40th in sacks

2019- 14th in sacks

2021 - 20th in sacks

2022- 17th in sacks 

I'm not good at math.  But that doesn't seem to add up.   And he is pretty much exclusively a pass rusher.   One that has never had double digits.  2 firsts is a steal for a pretty good pass rusher that gets run on. 

Pure pass rushers aren't that hard to find.   Complete DEs are hard to find.  Which is what the Rams are willing to pay the price of.  Which isn't Burns.

Looks like they are going to have to figure some poo out in regards to the cap.

1. They are living in a win now mode.. which means the next 2 years.. therefore those picks are impacted by how they perform the next two years. They have everything they need to get back to the super bowl once healthy. If these picks were 2025 and 2026 like how they do in the NBA, then you can take what you saying as a strategy.

 

2. The injury bug hits any team at any point... there is no tendencies or patterns to injuries in the NFL. Baltimore, SF, Detroit, and Cleveland are the most injured teams in the NFL right now... they are not "old" teams. Matter of fact, its the opposite. they have average ages of 25, 25.1, 26.3, and 26.4

If the Rams are giving us a first in '24 and '25, the 2nd rounder this year has to be included for me to do it. If the Rams want him, they need to come to us. Mid-round R1 picks two and three years from now for a young, athletic, and dynamic DE/OLB isn't the answer.

It cumulative over the past 3 years. Looks like he comes in at 9 looking at it that way.  Staying healthy looks to be a big part of it.

Their best defensive player is 31.  The second best is 29

Their best wr is 29, their franchise qb is 35 and is dealing with chronic injuries.

 

You take the deal and risk the gamble.

Add on one of their 6th rounders in next year's draft to the future 1's and get it done. 

No.

One or both of their second rounders for this year and next year or this year's third plus one of their two second rounders and then we start talking.

If that sounds excessive, take a moment and look back at Les Snead's philosophy toward draft picks.

(it starts with an F)

That is an old and expensive roster. Even a guy like Jalen Ramsey who is still in his prime and I don’t include in the “old” category currently will be 30 in a couple years. For comparison, Darrelle Revis was pretty much done after 30. Aaron Donald is already 31. The writing is on the wall, that team will be full of cast offs and overpaid free agents in a couple years because they have no draft picks. That 2025 draft pick looks juicy, and the ‘24 has a very decent chance of being a top 15 draft pick.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
