Big fan of Burns but...

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.

Games haven't even started yet, you're already talking about next year. I do not understand this fan base sometimes.

We are going into 2023 with the clearest path to success we've had in a long time, and you're asking if we should trade away a proven commodity for some random future draft pick.

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

When you turn down the potential haul for Burns that we declined, you send the message to Burns and his agent of his value to you. We showed all our cards with that move. Maybe we didn't realize news of it would leak? But that's honestly hard to believe. These agents are super keyed into these things with contacts in all the front offices.

As much as I want to keep Burns, that Rams offer was far more than his market value. That offer is more along the lines of Watt, Bosa bros, Mack. Mack was traded by the Raiders for 2 1sts and some other picks and was a far more complete edge rusher at the time of the trade. Turning down that offer guaranteed we will be paying him a top 3 salary and when i think of elite edge in the NFL, there’s no way i can genuinely say he’s that caliber.

The Rams offer was partially based on the fact that they were desperately trying to make a splash and remain in contention.  If I remember right, they were 3-3 when they made that offer, and the entire NFCW was between 4-3 and 3-4.  The 49ers had just made their big splash acquiring CMC to make their push for the division.  The Rams offer reflected that.

Right now, everybody is 0-0, nobody is desperate (unless somebody suffered an injury at the Edge during preseason that I am not thinking of), and most teams would have no idea what position to acquire in a push for their division yet.  If he continues to hold out, his trade value goes down the longer it drags on.

I said in another Burns thread, when we turned down the Rams offer, we made a decision to get out the checkbook, whether they knew it or not.  We now have to deal with the fallout from that.

I really really really hope the front office understands that because anyone with two brain cells could see that was a clear message to burns that the team wayyyyyy overvalued a slightly above average pass rusher who can't stop the run. Dumb not to take the trade even dumber to not lock him up long term the same day you turned that trade down

Pitts and Bowers are completely different types of players. Pitts was hurt last year that’s why you’re sleeping on him. Bowers is a more complete tight end when it comes to blocking. Pitts is a better pass catcher. He played for the crappy Falcons and became what? The second rookie tight end to ever eclipse 1k yards in a season?

lol God I love this place. The Rams don't offer 2 1st and more for a "Slightly above average pass rusher".

The trade was for 24 and 25 first rounders. That means we would have zero pass rush until those replacements are drafted and have a season or two under their belt. That’s a long time to wait for that payoff.

Picks always look great until the picks turn into players.

There is a huge difference in the QBs throwing him the ball.

If this contract thing becomes an issue and he continues to hold out, is there still a trade market for him for a "win now" team that may be willing to give multiple first round picks? 

I thought that he only missed 1 practice, and he was reportedly there, just not participating "for personal reasons". Have I missed something?

    • 10 years ago, the reactions to this thread would have at the least made me question myself and what I’m seeing in my evaluation versus what I’m feeling.  But not now.  I know where this mentality comes from and we’re seeing unfold in real-time, everyday in society.  Call someone else dumb while any and all statistics supports their argument, but if you just keep doubling down, you can make people forget about facts. It’s also why my replies to this despite 16 pages have been pretty sparse outside of one, and that post was mostly ignored because it called the BS out for what it is.     I don’t take it personal, because I know for them, it is VERY personal.  Not a person alive on this planet is going to tell me, nor convince me, that any other starter in the NFL isn’t more physically talented than Bryce.  We have all read and seen the stats - 32nd out of 32 starters since being drafted.  We have watched the games.  Countless games where Bryce struggles to hit 100 yards until the 4th.  Countless times he fumbles untouched, trips over his own feet, under throws or throws behind, or just throws straight to a defender who has been lurking in the same spot from the snap.  But, there is this mysterious ancient metric that us simpletons have not gained access to, that makes him better than the stats and eye test combined.🤣🤣🤣 Kyler Murray is wildly physically gifted, but specially for his size.  He has a laser arm, and he’s a quick, twitchy athlete.  Baseball background, multi-sport star.  And he’s statistically better than Bryce.  In my observations and estimation, his only downside is I don’t think he has ever applied himself and he doesn’t prepare as he should.  He relies on his talent alone, and I think that also carries over to questions about leadership.  But, all of that considered, these guys don’t want him over Bryce.  So again, I ask why?  The same logic is applied to Shedeur.  Hell, I would apply the same logic to Brissett.  Jameis.  Any fuging body with physical talented to throw a football.  If you have the worst starter in the league, proven over almost three full years, what do you owe him?  Hint: It’s not another year.  One can deduce from that point that you could easily find a replacement that will give you better production, even from someone who go isn’t a current starter.     I knew society had gotten dumber, but damn…  “don’t tell me what’s better!  I want to keep fuging myself and nobody can stop me!”🤣🤣🤣
