Gonna probably need to dump the GM to increase your odds of hitting a Brian Burns. Even with the world's best evaluators, it's an inexact science. I'm not a proponent of giving away something guaranteed for the chance at something as good as what was being given away.

Then you have to learn how to spend your CAP wisely. It’s a two edged sword, I get both sides.

nah they got one for cheaper in FA

 

Would you trade Burns if it was guaranteed you would have back to back top 10 picks?

So they got really lucky?

No, because our depth is trash and that would guarantee us 1-2 terrible seasons until we claim those picks.

I WOULD have traded him for 2 first rounders and a 2nd this past draft though.

I don’t follow. Did they trade their best D player for a 2025 They draft players that provide immediate impact. And by the way, LA offered 2 first rounders.


LA offered a 2024 and a 2025 1st. It wasn’t for this past draft.

To do what with those picks? Hopefully draft a Brian Burns?

well, we have a rookie QB we need to build around.  Just bandaids on the roster.  You could spend a first round pick on a freak skill player…..a first round pick on a freak pass rusher.  Both on rookie deals.

or you use those pick and alter the Bryce Young trade.  DJ Moore is still a Panther and you still got ammo for the draft

or use those picks to move in drafts/trades and whatever Mr. In On Every Deal could find.

all sorts of stuff you could do

Or, you get two Everette Browns. 

When people make this argument they forget about the cap space.  You don’t have to replace Burns production with the draft picks. Maybe you use the $25m you save to replace his production and then you use the draft picks to hopefully improve two other  positions.  
Maybe you get a player for $10m that gives you 80% of Burns and then use the extra $15m to drastically improve a different position. 

Personnel moves don’t happen in a vacuum.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
