What was given up for Darnold?

The Darnold price tag was because Rhule was a fuging idiot. You can't go into negotiations desperate and he had already played his hand with T2G. We got taken because the Jets knew we were going to have to pay for someone because we had no one.

I'd always rather give up picks than players. You gave up a sure thing for a lottery ticket. That's a colossal L.

If we traded DJ Moore, do you think we'd have been offered a first rounder?  I do not.  Maybe a second or third.  

I have been reading your posts, and you represent the other side of the coin that we will be tossing--you are not wrong, but you are not right either--we shall see.

And pay him 2 billion dollars.

So last year we trade our best RB, this year we trade our best receiver. We better get this pick right or this is going to be a long season.

Lamar is too expensive, wants a full guarantee, and is a twist of the knee or butt hurt away from being a worse contract then Russel Wilson.

Trading DJ hurts, but if we cut Shaq, Efflin, STO, and Gonzalez we will have 43M of cap space this year.  We could roll with DJ Shark, Paris Campbell, TMJ, and Shi at WR and still have cash to fill out the roster with mid range vets.

Absolutely not.  Finding a replacement for Moore is light years easier than finding a top 10 edge rusher.

Losing DJ hurts, but other than that, the compensation for this trade was nothing

Not apples to apples and this year’s draft is deepest at edge rusher and there have been a lot of 9+ sack FAs the past couple years. We let one go. Replacing Burns with $30M on cap space a year wouldn’t be impossible.

Also, on the apples, DJ was basically a thrown in. We traded 2 1sts, 2 2nds and DJ. For the Rams picks, we basically would have trade 1 1st and Burns.

Personally, I’d rather have 2 2nds, 1 1st, DJ and $10M a year than Burns.

This is intriguing....surely speculation, but what if. Get a little bit back from HOU to make sure they get "there guy" while we still get ours. 

No guarantee that HOU doesn't just take who they want, but if they REALLY want Young and we bluff it enough, they could take the bait.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
