Big fan of Burns but...

Have not heard anything about the Raiders. I have heard that teams have contacted the Panthers but they haven’t reached out to anyone regarding BB.

Have also heard that the discussion is not about annual salary but rather guaranteed amount and signing bonus which is still far apart as of yesterday.

I would be very surprised if this drags on longer than a week or two as it is creating a distracting for a brand new coach and rookie QB in their first season together. I imagine the front office will cave or reach a trade deal with another team soon. 

distracting environment*
 

Pardon my grammar. It is past my normal bedtime.

Knew about the Adams trade before it happened. So it’s got me a little shook.

 Talking player/s and a first. 

Would explain the two open roster spots we haven’t filled.

Need to can Fitterer before trading Burns. Dan Morgan is waiting in the wings and will be a better GM.

Crazy to think the last few years how bad-to-potentially-mediocre this team has been, and yet Fitterer has downgraded at every position but one, and now may have traded all 3 of the franchise cornerstones for Bryce Young, several bags of warm garbage and some picks to cover for the other awful trades he's made.

I don't condone paying Burns above 26MM per year, but this is ridiculous. Fitterer's the Matt Rhule of GMs.

Last October wasn't a fire sale, it was just Phase 1 of a fire sale.

The 2023 Carolina Panthers are Bryce Young in the Will Smith where-is-everybody gif

Hearing from one of my buddies that the Raiders are trying to trade for Burns right now. Fitt needs to get a favorable contract together for him, like right now! Just read that Garoppolo restructured his free up some money for the team. Hope this does not come true. 

I’ll take their first, Jones, and maybe another 3rd rounder at this point.

Or I’d really love to get Adams and their first, but that might not happen and it would hurt our pass rush a lot.

I’d love to see you explain your stance that Fitt has downgraded every position but one. That’s way off imo.

Give me a 2023 1st, 2024 2nd, and Jerry Tillery or Bilal Nichols. 
 

We get a DL, our 1st replaced this year and our 2nd replaced for next year.

And cap room.

But our run defense actually improves by removing Burns.

then we should trade Young for some stout cost effective big mollies who carry their lunch pails and pound that rock!

the central goal of this team should be to prove that it can still be done the old way, with cheap cost effective vets running that ball and stopping that run!

Things that win super bowls

1) elite expensive passers

2) expensive weapons that catch lots of passes and touchdowns

3) expensive pass rushers which obstruct the other teams’ 1) and 2)

things that don’t win super bowls

1) healthy cap

2) cost effective day three picks giving us a hometown discount

3) running that football!

Cmon man this reality. What kind of work you do that exposes you to major injuries like NFL players?

 

I drive box trucks. My biggest risk at work is getting into a accident on the road which we all have to drive anyway. You can't compare a regular workplace to a NFL workplace. 2 totally different environments. If Burns gets injured he's risking millions of dollars. I doubt you are making that kind of money at your job.

 

Come on mate he’s a defensive player his biggest risk is the turf

Patience. We’re still two years from that.

I remember fans were ecstatic that Peppers went to the Bears. Many were talking so much shut about him, he had to have slapped their mommas.  

Then they wanted him back, when he went to the Packers. 

Then they were all singing his tune when he finally came back in the twilight of his career. 

We have a good pass rusher, that couldn't be replaced right now if we wanted.  He wants to be here, and he's vital to this defense.  

I'd rather they keep them. 

I'm sure the BS will never stop flowing from others.
