Good things? What good things?

-Signed Darnold

-Traded for Mayfield

-Traded up to draft Corral

-Didn’t resign Gilmore despite trading for him for not even a full season.

-Picked up Darnold’s 5th year option.

-Traded a 3rd for CJ Henderson

-Extended Ian Thomas

-Extended Donte Jackson

-Extended Robbie Anderson ( whom we are paying 10 million for this year). 
 

He’s not the GM everyone on here acts like he is. People just like him because he’s not Hurney or Gettleman. I’m not so sure he’s better than either at this point.

they are going to say it was rhule making the call

 

But it really doesnt matter as his fate is clearly tied to Young.  If he works he has a job in 2/3 years.  If not he is gone.  Its pretty simple like that, but yeah all in all fitt has done some dumb poo and now it appears #1 on that list is not trading burns to a desperate rams team that appears to be aiming for a couple of top 5 picks in the next 2 drafts

The more I think about him the more I realize he might be our worst gm. We have no depth because the drafts have been trash. We essentially had to trade cmc for Sam darnold because of mismanagement of assets (the cmc trade simply recovered the assets we gave up for darnold and henderson). We passed on fields to take an injury prone although very good corner. If we got the Young pick wrong were set back at least 5 years.

-Extended Ian Thomas - Rhule

-Extended Donte Jackson - Well obviously

-Extended Robbie Anderson ( whom we are paying 10 million for this year). - Rhule all the way. Chosen Chosen or what ever his name is now didn’t even make a roster.

So ya, most of it had Rhules finger prints all over it. Fitterer kind of feels like a pushover though we’ll see what kind of moves come down the pipeline this year as it progresses. Specifically how our other draft picks perform. It’s hard to GM a college coach used to having everything his way.

Wonder how refusing to work while still under contract would fair in the private sector…yeah….

NFL isn't a government job.

It's known as a strike. Contracted private sector workers have been effective in using them as a negotiating tool forever

I'm so upset. Now that my house is officially on the market, the buyers know I want to sell, and they have all the leverage!! 🤣🤣🤣

A buyer looked on your Facebook page and saw that you had posted that you're relocating and need to sell so you can buy a new house in the next month. They lowball because you need to free up the cash to make a down payment, offers aren't coming in, and you can't carry 2 mortgages. That's leverage.

Which isn't the case with Burns. He's under contract, and he was going to get paid regardless. 

Oh, and I'd never sell a house in a hurry. There are better ways to financially handle that type of situation.

You need a better agent if it comes down to that.

Burns value is set by the market regardless of what happened with a previous trade

And right now it is the perceived market.  He and his agent are looking at recent deals and the Panthers are looking at how recent deals compared to him.

The fact that we turned down a pair of firsts and a high second for him last year will impact his side's view of the market for him and his worth to the Panthers.

But the market will not truly speak until he becomes a FA.  Then, it only takes one team to bid his price up substantially.  Kinda like we did in the Jet's trade value for Darnold.

    • Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though. 
    • 13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
    • Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
