Sorry hubby(or whatever alt you’re annoying people with now). I laid out this entire scenario multiple time the day the story broke about the offer. Predicted this exact scenario. Was told then that it wouldn’t be a problem. 
 

  Some people actually have a clue and don’t just complain about everyone stating that a franchise that picks top 10 every year makes mistakes all the time. What’s your new alt going to be after you embarrass yourself again like last year defending Rhule?

It sucks to not know enough to even respond with a rebuttal. Just poo and pics. Is that what you used to fondle Rhule last year?

People act like replacing Burns is easy, just grab another one. We won't be able to add that WR most are pining for. And most Edge rushers need at least a year. Both are things this board cannot handle. It would be anarchy watching this team struggle to win. But hey, we have those 2 1st rounders.

There are other edge rushers available with the money we are going to pay Burns. It doesn’t have to be done strictly through the draft. Reddick provided what Burns did and signed for a lot less than Burns wants.
 

I don’t care about an elite WR. The SB champions just won with a bunch of WR3s. Pass rush isn’t everything. The kind of money Burns is wanting is for an elite DE, which he is not at this point. He’s a liability in the run game. For 25-30m a year, I want more than 12 sacks a year and a guy that cant play the run. Unless BY is the unicorn of unicorns of unicorns, we aren’t making a serious playoff run this year.

I mean, I get him wanting money, but he made a point to say during training camp he’s showing up to practice. What changed? 

I think all sides try to be politically correct but when it comes down to brass tacks Burns is on the precise of generational wealth and needs to look out for himself. 
 

I can see why the team didn’t trade him to attract a new head coach, but I feel like willingly gave up leverage so I’m surprised they aren’t paying Burns. 
 

Even though the Patriots don’t draft well I really like their policy of trading the guys they can’t pay before their 1st contract. Keeps everyone happy.

Upset?  LOL. You’re the guy who complains about every other post and does the most cowardly thing a poster can do. Poo posts instead of giving reasons why you disagree. You’re a punchline who has run from Alts for being a simpleton. Your fellow fans on here laugh at you. Out of pity.

If he gets what's he's asking for, he isn't just getting elite DE money, he's getting elite defensive player money. Only players with bigger contracts would be Aaron Donald and soon Nick Bosa. 30m a season and it's why they aren't close on a deal. 

 

Ran through camp thinking he would get what he's asking for or close and is finding out that it isn't close and holding out and probably won't be on the field against Atlanta with out a new deal.

Once Bosa's deal is final, burns will be signed within a week. 

 

 

Shouldn’t matter.  Bosa’s deal shouldn’t be steering Burn’s that much. They aren’t comps.

Sounds like Bosa is going to sit out week 1 as well.

We frankly brought in a better pass rusher than Burns not long ago.  We let him go after a year.  He went on to sign a deal that is reflective of elite pass rushers.  Which is Burns.  Which isn’t Bosa money.

let's quit living in the past. Let's stick to what is relevant for this year. We all know you are the most negative poster here. Not surprised you'd think like this.

Acknowledging the current market/money for skills/players isn’t living in the past.  

what are elite pass rushers getting? That’s what Burns should be hovering around
