I'll pay him based on his contribution in the second half - y'know, when the game was on the line.

$3.50 - take it or leave it. 

First half he came out on fire, looking for the pay day and sending a message of what he brings to the defense and his value.  In the second half, his message to the F.O. was "fug you for not paying me"

Paying him as 5th best pass rusher would be okay

If you go by these concept Burns AAV would come out to be approximately $30.5M/yr in today’s times. This seem high under the salary cap concept when you have other players looking for a 2nd contract like: Brown, Chinn, Luvu (FoSho), etc!

Dude had 7 tackles, 4 TFL, 1.5 sacks, and 1 forced fumble…against a dinky dunk passing game plan…

 

If you are angry/dissatisfied after his week 1 performance, well; he ain’t the problem.

Just wish it wasn’t before the Falcons adjusted and later in the game when it matters most. Also would like to see him stop whiffing and catch runners on the edge.

I know these may be nit picking when we are just looking at numbers but you have to remember this guy wants Bosa elite money. You cannot pay someone a ridiculous amount of money and not get the whole package.

A rushing specialist who makes 30 million a year and disappears at halftime and/or can’t produce even when the opposing team is adjusting to take him out isn’t elite. Elite means they aren’t stopping him and just have to do their best to hold him off.

That said, I say pay him too, but I also see the hesitation. Especially if he wants a record breaking salary. And I will also say it never should’ve taken this long. But Fit isn’t a real GM so not sure what y’all expect.

Fitt fuged around and just gave him a 3m raise lol. What pisses me off is were they hoping he wasn't going to have a good game so they could pay him less? 6 months ago the philosophy was to have the roster ready to go so you can drop the #1 pick QB in and now we have no receivers and a stubborn front office. Not exactly taking advantage of the rookie qb 4-5 year window at the moment

The man is playing (and well), and has consistently shown up to practice since this all happened.

If the worst thing he's done is some pretty chill but direct IG posts about what we already know him to feel... who gives a damn.

Social media seems to be made for this in today's society.

It’s more like Burns dominated them the first half so they had to completely change their game plan. They basically shutdown their passing game because of Burns, doubled him on runs and got away with it because our offense kept shooting itself in the foot. A player than can change the opponents game plan than much had a hell of a game.

He is basically on pace for 25.5 sacks and people are critiquing his 2nd half. Bosa meanwhile had 0 sacks and the Steelers were trailing most of the game so there were more opportunities.

Using social media to lobby for a pay raise is lame as hell. Of course his fans want him paid. Other than that he's got nothing to sell himself on the field.  He's another contract year whinner that hasn't finished his contract year before crying for a massive pay raise he hasn't earned to date. Fitterer f*cked this up by letting emotions get in the way. Fitterer is the problem.

Burns has two options to stop seeming petty.  Re-work the last year of his deal to get some extra money like Chris Jones, Jacobs and Barkley did and wait to the offseason for a new deal or just drop this crap.  Either way he's going to get paid in the spring, here or elsewhere.  Unless Mrs. Cleo told him he's going to have a season ending injury, I don't understand the urgency to get paid RIGHT NOW. 

Take a reworked deal for this season, which I'm sure is an option since several other players have done it and stop being distraction.  Prove he is worth Nick Bosa money with his play this season.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
