Say he does play and has some ridiculous  game(like a 5 sack performance).... then things get even trickier. 

I've said for a while that we can't let him play the season out, either need to get a deal done before Sunday or trade him before then.

Playing out the year is the worst case scenario for us and will hang over the team all season long like a dark cloud

Might get even trickier if he sits out, we get zero pressure on Ridder and get diced up on defense. This front office has no leg to stand on either way. Pay Burns. 

If he sits out, Fitt has to trade him, honestly I'd then make him inactive in week 2 and moving forward if he sat our week 1.

If after all this and all that all about how we're building something special and he knew he needed to be there, he pulls this crap and holds out of actual games, time to trade him for whatever we can get, chalk it up as a bad mistake, fire Fitterer for not making the trade last year and just move on with our lives.

I’m really curious where each side stands.  Is Burns requesting something insane such as 30M with 100+ guaranteed?  Or is Fitt standing pat that Burns isn’t worth more than 20M?  Wish there were more details known.  We aren’t alone tho - Higgans and evans wont be getting new deals it appears.  And Jones doesn’t appear close.

He can’t trade him.  He would sure as poo get fired if he did that.
