Burns will be sacrificed for a WR to two.

Just my opinion, but I think the writing is on the wall for Burns. No way they pay him $30m+/yr while allowing Bryce to run for his life because we have no skill position players. This is probably why negotiations have stalled.

He’ll either be traded mid season for a WR + picks or tag+ traded in the off-season for the same. 

Between Fitt and Frank, their jobs depend on Bryce doing well so I think they’ll pull every lever they have to get him weapons even if it hurts the defense.

Not a lot of WR FA’s next year except Tee Higgins. He’ll want $22m+.

I kinda had the same feeling roll across my mind but there’s got to be someone of near equal value and I’m not sure who that would be.


also Michael Pittman is currently not under contract with Indy next season

can they afford him?  Cause that deal seems fair maybe if you add in a 2nd or 3rd

I'm not sure...just trying to think of teams that might be desperate enough to package a 1st for Burns. Looks like they've got $85m-plus cap space next season but a poo ton of FAs. I don't think you're getting Higgins, a 1, and a 2/3 for Burns though given he also needs/wants a massive deal. We'd probably have to send a pick back at that point.

I mean, how about Tee Higgins and a first from the Bengals?

It's going to be a buyers market for him this time around because whoever gets him knows they'll have to pay him after half a season.

If we could get back into the 1st round and a handful of pocket lint, I'd do it. Burns could have a great career just getting swapped around to teams that feel they are a pass rusher away from a title.

If they wind up trading Burns for less, after they passed on the awesome trade deal we received for him earlier, then they're fuging idiots.

At this point it doesn’t matter. It was a bad move to decline that trade but we can’t let that prevent any future moves.

      Tepper's patience

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Patience with someone's job status in the NFL isn't necessarily the same thing as having patience. He pushed the front office and coaches to make moves to win immediately, instead of letting them build up a team the right way over a course of a number of years.  I don't even think that's a bad thing to have in an owner, love that he wants to win that badly.  But we need to have the staff and coaches in place who can and will push back on him when and where needed to do it right.  You don't win in the NFL through quick fixes, just doesn't work that way, too many moving parts. The only way he gets a good HC or GM candidate to come here is if he GUARANTEES 2024 has no impact on his job status and they are allowed to replace Bryce with a QB of their choosing, and then GUARANTEES they get at least 2 seasons to prove themselves. If you can somehow convince them of that, we could get a realistic candidate to come here, maybe some sort of poison pill clause in the contract that if Tepper doesn't hold up his end, the coach gets a $100 million payout on top of an already big contract. It would let the HC/GM know they have 3 years to prove themselves, not to make decisions based on an immediate impact, but a year or two down the line.  They could then play Bryce all season to see if they think they can do anything with him and not be concerned about getting fired if they keep losing while ending up with a high draft pick for a new QB.
