His liability against the run should already be a non factor if he wants Watt money.

We shouldn't be paying a one trick pony like a complete DE, Watt is a beast against the pass and run. 

Burns is terribly overrated by this fanbase, he is basically aldon smith but he plays 3 downs like a complete player. I wish we could see how he does in a 3-4 before handing him 100m., right now he is not worth it imo. 

I would love to see this defense without Burns. We would last 5 weeks before you all begging for him to come back.

 

Burns is a pass rusher people. Look at his long rangy body he's not built to stop the run. Give him credit for what he is good at getting after the QB.

Not just the fan base that rates him highly, so do nfl gm's and scouts.

I said he was "good" at getting after the QB, he just isnt great. Its whatever for me, he was hyped coming out of college and he still seems like the same guy he was 4 years ago to me. I had hoped he would round out his game but it doesnt look like it.

Contract wise look for something around 25-29m plus a season, 'Watt makes 28m a season" so the top would be 29m a season I'd think. 

 

Over 4 or 5 years with a 36m signing bonus and full guarantees around 82m total. 

 

I'm gonna go with something like the below for Burns. 

 

5 years 142.5m dollars, 36m signing bonus and 80.5m fully guaranteed.  

 

Years 1-3 base salary is fully guaranteed, remaining guaranteed at signing in a roster bonus in year 4.

No what I meant is that based on polls and other data collected, he was at the beginning of last season considered a top ten edge player. 

I guess edge rushers are like QBs then, Cousins and Carr could be considered top 10 for their position as well....

Just a thrown out ideal for a extension:

4yr/$76.5M w/$45M guaranteed!

Its a little under average contract today, but could be a reasonable contract for both parties!

Seriously dude…. Even Madden would reject such a offer

the moment we refused the Rams trade for Burns, it meant Burns agent has all the leverage. This is a TJ Watt level deal

Might as well trade him if you don't view him as a long term piece.smh

 

I will say it again if you don't want elite players then just move on because they are all expensive. 

Burns is not elite.  Not a single statistical category shows him as elite.  
 

There is nothing wrong with using the franchise tag on a player you don’t want to extend long term yet.  NFLPA agreed to it.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      would love it if Vegas were Week 5 (Oct 7).  Just throwing it out there with fingers crossed

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
