I’m in the minority here but this wasn’t a bad trade at all. If we get our own Mahomes/Rodgers/Brady/Allen/Burrow/Brees this will be a slam dunk. There are 2 special Qb’s in this draft. 

It’s not a bad trade but not trading Burns hurts. Love Burns but that was more than enough to make the trade and then we would have had our full set of picks to put some weapons around him this year and the next two.

This is so much better than the lunacy brewing down in New Orleans, where they are further screwing themselves long-term to run it back with a bunch of old and injured players and Derek Carr, with the upside of maybe winning a down division.

This is a move to set this franchise up for the next decade.  If it doesn't work, of course it will be a setback but the upside with this approach is so, so much better.

Losing DJ hurts next year, but having a QB on a rookie deal makes all the other draft capital meaningless b/c the team will have a lot of cap space for the next 4+ years.

This is about potentially setting the team up to being a SB contender, not screwing around with the constant retreads anymore.

Agreed. The concept this trade will sink the franchise hasn’t been paying attention the last 5 years. Gotta try something to become competitive again, it’s not just going to magically happen

I mean playing in the SEC is as close to NFL emulation as you’re gonna get and he faired fine. He takes smart contact and plays angles as good as any qb I’ve seen. I’m legit hoping for Young.


How many games did he play in the SEC though?

We’re talking about a guy playing 17+ games a year for 10-15 years while aging.

Its a very different thing.

We keep pick 39 and 2025s 1st.  But DJ essentially replaced that value.  

I mean, this is just wild.

I am sure this will be stated later, but DJ was $20m vs the cap and the Bears had a ton of cap room.  So we can replace him in the draft and use the $$ in free agency

Just dropped in to say getting rid of DJ Moore when they’re about to draft a rookie QB was one of the dumbest things this team has done in awhile. Can’t find receivers as good as him in free agency without a higher price tag. Alright see y’all later

His deal was very team friendly and odds were he was gone after year two of the deal anyways because the Panthers had it set for him to get cut with little dead money after year 2. Most of Fitts deals are set up like this. It's been a recurring theme so far. 

I do see a two year window, dam shame DJ signed a team friendly deal and gets traded the next year.

I have marginally more trust in the coach, who hasn’t proven himself, than the GM, who despite the best efforts of his crack team of bootlickers, has proven himself to be an absolute buffoon. 

I’m not a fan of Fitterer. If you had any foresight that we were going QB hard then you have to trade Burns. No cap hut at all, a ton of cap to use to shore up the DL and pick 37(?) this year and two more firsts to easily trade up. The rookie will have a bare cupboard unless we waste all our 2024 space to add some guys who aren’t nearly as good as DJ.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
