How good is Brian Burns 2022 campaign?

I'm dreading that Fitt is going to hand out a huge contract to Burns. If Fitt thinks Burns is worth more than two 1sts and a second, and that he's a cornerstone foundational player on this team, then Burns' agent is going to use that to break us. This upcoming contract is going to be outrageous, and Fitt is out of his fugging mind.

I would take a 3rd round comp pick before paying Burns that much. 
 

  Reddick and Luvu armed/would be good deals. Both are much better players than I ever thought they were. And you could have both, plus 5M more for what Burns would make. 

 

 

I think he will demand 28 per, Im with you about the <3rd. 

Burns age is the big driving factor.

I concur, do you think the figures are fair/accurate enough? would you change any?

 

I think Luvu may go a little higher since he's been balling out more than anyone else. He may not always show it in the stats, but his effort is undeniable. I think he gets 8.5 to 9.5 per for 3.

 Burns contract sounds about right, but guaranteed will be in the 90-100 range which is 18-20 per year for the 5 no matter if he blows his knee out the day after he signs. I hate big guarantees.

If you would have done that 5 pages ago, you might have avoided actually making my argument for me. Now its sad because this has devolved into fanboys going

   But I’m sure it will be fine. I’m never right when it comes to contracts and the Panthers.

I think you make a good agent one for luvu, i think it could go higher. my only hang up was his age and fit....i swear hed make one hell of 3-4 edge, he just forces the SLB role to work..

What argument have u made? you have made a completely dumb argument about letting a top 10 pass rusher walk for a complimentary 3 RD pick!  we were offered 2 first and a second and your saying it would be better to let him go for a borderline 4th rounder...i mean my god..

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
