Silly. I know pass rushing is highly valued but dude it’s only 10-15 plays per season. I know hurries, qb hits, etc. count but sacks are the money number. I said at the time we refused the draft picks for him that we would regret it not because he wasn’t worthy of a huge extension, but because when we let the league know what we turned down for him his agent faxed us a blank check and said don’t stop until you run out of space to write. They married him in Vegas that day.

Stopped reading after the bolded. 

You obviously don't get it. Argue until you are Blue in the face.

It’s important to remember that NFL players are taxed based on where (what’re state they are physically in) they play on Sunday. So while it can still be a significant amount of money, it’s less than what most think. If that were a significant factor in negotiations, I think it would be brought up more. But it’s also the individual player and what they value most.

Heartbroken, truly. But that number is shorthand for your effectiveness as an edge. I don’t make the rules. Burns is also good in run situations but he’s not Luke or something. Regardless, the meat of the post was after that glib comment so whatever floats your boat.

I gave it a look over. 

The reality is when pass rushers get paid, their not paid on overall balance, but their presence on the field.  Burns has a heavy presence on the field that every offensive coordinator has to game plan for him. 

I agree, his run support isn't what you want out of an elite defensive end, but that won't stop him from getting paid. That just how the NFL works.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
