woooo we win a meaningless game and that doesn’t change the fact the rams offered a stupid amount of compensation for him. The cowboys traded Hershel Walker for a kings ransom and proceeded to turn those picks into Super Bowls

He is a great young player at a premium position. I lean towards us making that trade (especially looking at the Rams starting to crumble), but I’m definitely not losing sleep over it. I like Burns and think he will be our defensive leader for a while.

yeah, this is where I'm at, too. I do understand why the Panthers didn't want to trade him, but I probably make the trade personally when the 2nd this year got thrown in.

but then we have a huge, gaping hole at DE, which is unlikely to be properly filled next year or who knows in how long.

Thats true.  I didn't want to win said meaningless game. im only speaking on the talent itself. Given if u trade burns u have to draft a replacement who might not even be as good as him. Your spinning your wheels in place when you already have a young pro bowl talent.  Eventually you have to pay someone.

We havd the cap to do it because we sony have an established QB. so why add another hole just to get picks for picks sake. even with said pick your not guaranteed to get someone as good as burns is.

How'd that work out for teams that traded their franchise players like the Jags w/ Ramsey and Jets w/ Adams?

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
