If Burns is traded, it’ll be part of a package to move up for a QB, and only then if it’s the only way the deal will be sealed. He’s too important and good to just trade for picks, as they’ve already shown. 

This. Fitts turned down the best picks package we were gonna get for him. If he's moved at this point it's to go get a QB.

I like Burns but sometimes I wonder because  he gets missing. Look at Reddick, he  seems to always be hitting home. Barno showed potential  that last game but I wonder what the new DC thinks. Denver lost Von Miller and traded Chubb and still found a way to get home. I wonder are they thinking about every scenario. If Scott says in on Every deal .... and we traded McCaffrey, then anything is possible.  They may think they can get someone like Yannick for half the price.

Burns is 11th in sacks and 13th in forced fumbles. He’s only 24 years old and anyone who has more sacks than him is also older. 
 

Once we turned down the rams offer (reportedly 2 first and a 2nd), we made the conscious decision that he’s not going anywhere.

He’s more valuable than given credit for and and has played 62 out of 63 possible games.

he is a total liability in the run game and never takes over a game like an elite pass rusher should

While we’re on the subject, D.J Moore is underrated as well. He’s also 11th in receiving yards since joining the league and 6th among all non running backs in yard from scrimmage in that time. 

He’s never missed a game and is also younger than anyone ahead of him on the receiving yards or yards from scrimmage (non running backs) list since he joined the league.

Burns (24), Moore (25), Icky(22)Horn (23),Brown (25). Are our top 5 core players that can be around and productive for us several seasons to come. Granted they are our last 5 first rounders. McCaffey rounded out are last 6 1st rounders.

They are perhaps the best 5 first rounders we have drafted consecutively since 02-06

(Peppers,Gross, Gamble, Thomas Davis and Deangelo Williams).

I really hope Burns gets traded so I can hear 95% whine and complain when we have literally ZERO pass rush and he balls out with another end across from him. Ppl around here act like it's so easy to find pass rushers in the NFL, it's not Madden huddlers yeesh

I think Burns is a great young edge rusher, especially with our new DC and possibly a 3-4 defense. However if we can use him to land a potential franchise QB right before he is owed a bunch of money, it might be worth it. Use the money we save to sign a vet pass rusher like Reddick or Ngakoue so our pass rush isn’t complete poo and we might be ok.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • 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.
