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.

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.

We heard one offer from the Rams and now every team is willing to give up two 1sts+?

I dont see it. 

[carpanfan96]

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.

The wording of the title made me think it was imminent. But yeah he's getting paid YUGE. Brinks trucks stacks.

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

Maybe he will be a better 3-4 edge than a 4-3 DE.  But he flat out sucked against the run and got taken out of plays easily by TEs at times.

You cant talk bad about "The SpideyBurns" or point out his shortcomings, how dare you!

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

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.
