Yeesh, reading through some of the stuff here, I see why I’ve tried to avoid being on here during this whole contract news cycle. A lot of unrealistic views on contracts and what not. No matter what we pay Burns now whether it’s $25 or $28M, the cap increases every year so the value of the contract looks a lot better over time. 
 

Whatever they pay him won’t “cripple” the team because he’s not getting Bosa money. And he’ll get paid based on the market + production, not just production.

Chubb looks like a steal now…

And Crosby who signed last year as well.

Burns will get close to $30M and that’s fine because we didn’t trade him. All I will say is for that money (Aaron Donald/TJ Watt money), he damn well better take over games. 12.5 sacks doesn’t matter. Taking over a game matters at that price. If he does, he’s worth it. If he doesn’t, we’re morons for not taking the trade.

You all act like it is your money. It isn't. And whatever we pay him will fit into the salary cap. Next year his cap hit will be low on a first year contract rising each year along with the salary cap. Samir has this and has been expecting all of it. Expect Burns to be signed in the next day or two.

WTF is this not your money crap? Do you guys know who pays for these NFL owners and players to get rich? We do, the NFL fans who buy poo either from the team directly or from the players or from the TV networks who get money from advertisers selling poo to NFL fans.

The whole it’s not our money is a crock of poo and gets annoying. We all in here have contributed to players salaries pretty directly. As if these billionaires are actually paying these players out of their pocket. Does anyone not realize that the salary cap/what players get is based on the revenue sharing amounts? Acting like Tepper is rolling any of his Appaloosa money into player’s pockets to cover some short change to keep the NFL business afloat is comical.

Fan spent money is a drop in the bucket for the teams/owners compared to what they make thru the TV deals and what these owners make from their other businesses that gave them enough money to buy these franchises.

Don't try to say when you buy that tube of toothpaste, that you're paying money towards your favorite NFL team because Crest will advertise during an NFL game.

Also, whether fans spend a million dollars a year each on stuff or no money, the teams are still going to spend the same amount of money on their roster.  They're not signing better players because a team sold more jerseys or beer during games.

What? It's absolutely a factor. The heck do you think he did all of this for? 

My argument remains Bosa isn’t the comp to align Burns’ contract too.   Comparable edge rushers are. 

Burns can talk about Bosa all he wants.  If I am Fitt, I’m talking about comparable pass rushers.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
