It’s not going to be cheap to retain Derrick Big Baby Brown

I wish we had been better positioned to capitalize on Brown's and Burn's rookie contracts. Because yeah, they're gonna be expensive moving forward.

Easier to pay them both now when we have a rookie franchise QB so that we are not having to pay 50+ million per season plus others like Burns and Brown

Oh for sure. A legit franchise QB on a rookie contract is the best roster asset in the NFL. There's not even a close second.

There was an obvious way to capitalize on Burns and it rhymes with laid with the dams

He was never going to be cheap

If he doesn’t hike the QB hits/sacks, I don’t think he’ll be as expensive as people think. Bozeman was going to cost us upwards of 12M per year according to many in here, but he got half that. Brown is solid but in 3 of Williams 4 years he’s had as many sacks in each year as Brown has in his 3 year career. Heck Williams more than doubled Brown’s career sack total last year.

I may be wrong but I see Brown as a $15M a year guy. Also, we’ve got Brown for two more years with the 5th year option.

I expect him to blow up in a big way this year. 

What do I know.

Brown's lack of sacks should help keep the price down relative to guys like Quinnen. Brown has 6 career sacks through 3 seasons, Quinnen has 27.5 through 4. I don't think we'll have any issues keeping him for good value compared to what he provides on the field because of the lack of those flashy stats. Quinnen isn't a comparable at all.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
