Isn’t the bucs offensive line supposed to suck because of injuries? This has always been the knock on Burns, he’s a one trick pony, undersized DE who isn’t good against the run. The fact people can say that he’s worth keeping over 2 first round picks is insane. Once he gets his contract he’s going to be taking up a lot of cap space.

If he's so poo why are teams offering those picks?

Teams offer lots of picks for bad players all the time. Are you really that ignorant? The math is simple, possibly two great players for one player who is a one trick pony. I never said he was poo, just that he’s not as great at many say. Maybe he would be better in a 3-4 LB role.

He is a very replaceable player on our defense. Luvu and others have shined and shown up in more big time moments this season than Burns has. There is still a chance he is dealt this offseason although I don't see us getting the original haul we could have gotten.

He is NOT worth franchising or handing out monster $$ too. Maybe if our defense was more complete it'd be nice to have a guy like that but he is 1000000000000% not someone you build your defense around

Yeah, I think if we called the Rams asking if that deal was still on the tables they'd laugh and be like nah, we sobered up since then.

Yea we're in a tough spot if we can't get at least a 1st. Anything less would feel really bad but it's better than handing out a max contract that pays him like a top 5 DE or letting him go for nothing.  Will be interesting to see what happens

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
