Burns is back in pads at practice

Yes and no, I think people keep forgetting that we'd only be paying him top dollar for one, maybe two seasons.

It won't take long for the next batch of pass rushers to surpass the contracts.

Parsons is eligible for an extension next year, I'll bet any amount of money right now that he will sign a contract for more than Bosa.

Yeah thats true it does raise each year along with the salary cap so it does make it sting less long term

We need more pass rush regardless of what he signs for. Sure would be nice to find some gem in the draft with a hella ability to get to the QB lined up on the other side of Burns. Pressure constantly coming from both sides and some nasty pressure up the middle would be great. 

Agreed.

 

I do think Houston will help though. He's a situational pass rusher, but he still can rack up sacks even at 34 years old. Hopefully someone else on the roster steps up and fills that role.

Yeah I'm expecting TJ Watt/Joey Bosa numbers (27-28.5 mil/year) which is what the new reports are saying Burns camp is asking for. Front office is obviously trying to keep that number down right now.

I work in real estate and sellers constantly want to high ball while buyers constantly want to low ball but in the end they usually are able to meet somewhere in the middle and shake hands which is what I hope happens here. Both parties happy with what they got and both feel good about where they are

Yeah we definitely need more people to step up this year and even more hep next year due to not having a 1st rounder to draft help. Hopefully some good free agents may want to come here and not break our bank in the off season. Some more diamond in the rough Frankie Luvu guys would be great

I think its more about setting precedent because we have a ton of guys coming up that are going to want big money as well,  Fitt cannot just roll over and give whatever so it is weird they havent found middle ground yet

Some said he wanted 30-34 mil.

 

These rumors are making my head spin.

 

28mil seems reasonable given his age. He is our pass rush to be honest. I just want us to get this deal done so we have no distractions during the season.

Yeah 28m also gives him that "highest paid edge" name for however many hours/days it takes for Bosa to sign after him.

We usually don't hear about all the details in negotiations, but I would not be surprised if the actual sticking point is not guaranteed money (and how it is guaranteed) vs. base salary.  Seems like a lot of head-scratching contract situations come down to that. 

Burns may want $30M and the team may be at $24M, but if more of the $24M is guaranteed that could soften his position.....and vice versa.
