Egos always getting in the way. Can you imagine making even 20 million to chase quarterbacks ? These clowns make me laugh.  Invest 1 years worth of that wisely and you are set for life. 

That’s the market. I’m always going to be in the camp for the players to make as much as they can cause they have a short shelf life

I might feel differently if he wasn’t a hypocrite.  Say one thing and turn around and do the exact opposite.

Seems to me we are just trying to trade away all our top players for picks.

 

CMC/DJ/Burns?

 

The Carolina Draft Picks.

Burns signs for 29.5m AAV, puts up 8 sacks and looks worse than ever against the run, most Panther thing ever.

Only one of these guys is tops at his position, unfortunately its the least valuable position on offense outside of FB. 

DJ is a high end #2, low end #1 and burns is a pass rush specialist.

We have him for the next 3 seasons whether he wants to sign a deal or not. If he doesn't sign then we can find his replacement in that time.

He doesn’t have us by the balls.  He’s under a 5th year option.  Holding out means he loses millions and still doesn’t accrue a season.  Then back to the same spot he’s in right now.  We have a first year head coach and rookie QB.  I don’t think anyone believes this is a SB or bust team.  It’s not like Burns is the difference between a ring or a losing season.  Don’t overpay and handicap us for the next few years.  We have more holes to fill and no first rounder next year.  Let him hold out.  Let him lose millions.  Let the league forget about him by this time next year.  Or…he can agree to a deal that pays him in the top 8-10 for his position, which matches his performance.  

This is the way. As long as our team is willing to offer him close-but-not-quite top end money, I’m fine with that. BB doesn’t have a ton of options beyond holding out. But that’s not a great option either (missing out on almost $1mil per game and not accruing a season). 
 

He might miss this week, but I could see this getting sorted out pretty quickly too. Need Bosa to sign.

Burns isn’t worth what the Rams offered so I’m bummed they turned that down but hey they didn’t trade him so pay the man and get him on the field ASAP

I mean we want to pay him but he thinks he is a Bosa caliber player.

If Burns isn’t the kinda guy we pay then who in the hell are we paying?

Its not business to me. Sports are emotional for fans.

Let's be honest. This is a game. Not a single player is worth even 10 million a year. fuging ridiculous.  

That being said, the value of rhe contracts will never be considered acceptable.  

That's the modern day NFL.

Unless he takes a discount I wouldn’t extend him yet. If he wants top dollar I’d let him play in the new system to see how he goes. If he blows up your still paying him top dollar and have the franchise tag in your back pocket
