They're Not Done Trading

Don't be surprised if DJ Moore isnt the only player traded this offseason.  Carolina is in a straightup rebuild.  Completely new staff with different needs for players.  It's getting blown up.  I would not be surprised to see Burns traded before he walks with no compensation next year.

You may be onto something.

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up trading back a spot or two and picking up some picks.  That's Fitt's style.  He's a wheeler and dealer.  If he knows the #2 or 3 won't take the guy we want, he'll trade back.

As far as players, I don't think we'll be dealing anyone else.  Premium is on QBs, Ts, Edge guys, and WRs, and out of our tradeable assets, we have Burns who would command the most in a trade, but both he, his brother, and guys around the team have already said we were working on an extension with him.  So that's not happening.

Even after we turned down multiple offers for Burns? I don't see it...

I get the impression they think this roster will be ready to plug in a rookie QB which is why they traded up for that pick. Any other trades will probably be getting rid of lower tier players for low picks. 

Damn, I hope we aren’t that dumb. Look at Lawrence. I know Pederson was a huge upgrade over Meyer, but Lawrence in year 2 added a solid TE in Engram, a solid WR in Kirk and a solid RB in Etienne.

A rookie QB and the weapons we have now is not a good team yet. I’m sure I sound like a broken record but Fitterer made a huge error mot trading Burns. Trading Burns for 2 1sts and pick 36 would have been the perfect complement to this trade up. Could have gotten one of the top WRs and one of the top TEs with 36 and 39. There are no Waddles/Chases, but there are Moore type late first early 2nd WRs. There are a ton of solid TEs and it wouldn’t take much to move up a bit either.

You’d walk out of the draft with a rookie QB, WR and TE and a ton of Moore and Burns cap for D starters and have 3 more firsts in 2024/2025. In year 3 of rookie QB we’d have stud weapons and several D starters. You could even wait for 2024 to load up on D starters in FA.

Burns ain't getting traded.  Our current defensive coordinator was with the Rams when they offered two 1sts for Burns.  I'm sure Evero played a part in that, so he wouldn't like if we traded Burns now.  Heck, Burns may be a reason he decided to come here.

Still wouldn't mind trading Burns if the compensation is right. I think he could be a great player in this defense, much better than he has been previously there is definitely potential however he will be cashing in on a $100+ million deal and we've seen multiple times that players don't live up to that potential after signing those massive deals. Hopefully Burns will continue to work hard at being an elite player even after he gets his massive contract.
