Since Bosa set the rate for a top notch pass rusher at 34 million a year. Burns is not at that level yet and may never be.

If Burns demands 30 million a year, should they give to him or not?

If his agent won't move off that amount, what should they do?

Force his hand and try to tag him?

What do u think?

It’s not going to hurt anyone or even the cap make it happen let trying to tell the team what to pay our best Pass rusher he might not be Bosa but he’s our key DE pay him and move on the cap will work itself out in the future. A deep playoff run would recoup whatever extra funds we kick out on concessions and tickets we got a lot of rookie deals still we’re ok to pay our DE 30 a year for now get 3 years of good work out of him trade or restructure the contract after that if he hasn’t performed up to standards.

I'm fine giving him 30 as it won't be bad in a couple years when a bunch of other contracts pass it up.

But if he's asking for more than that, he's being stubborn and ridiculous and I'd just rather trade him right now to say the Raiders for a First and Adams or a First, Second, and Jones.

I want him here and am fine paying him to stay, but it's gotta get done before the season starts (or at worst after week 1 or 2).  We can't have him sitting out and we can't risk him having a crazy season and then needing to pay him above Bosa's deal next spring, neither of those are acceptable for me.

How have you been disagreeing with me all this time when I been saying 28-30mil was a realistic offer...

 

It's okay to agree with me buddy.

 

 

Yet again, I ask... do you even actually read my posts or do you just see it's me, quote it and spew randomness?

I literally said that to you last night, that we agree on paying him but that it's ridiculous to use the "players need to feed their families" argument when defending them holding out.  But you kept quoting me and arguing random stuff that I wasn't saying.

Go re-read the posts from last night, or even any post of mine on the Burns contract matter.  The entire time I've been saying to just pay the man what he wants as we lost all leverage by turning down the 2 firsts and we can't afford to lose him or let him play the year out and risk needing to give him the biggest contract ever next spring.

Here's the post where you argued with me about something I wasn't saying and where I directly quoted both of us saying the same thing, but somehow you couldn't realize it...

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
