It doesn't matter.  That's a sunk cost at this point and making another mistake to make up for an old one is twice as bad.  Our team is in no position to offer any player $30 million a year.  We have holes and need depth. 

It absolutely matters as fitt has to explain to everyone and more importantly tepper why its a sunk cost.  Fitt just doesnt recover from that.  He would be public enemy #1 and would never live that down.  He knows in his heart of hearts he cannot trade burns unless the package is crazy. 

 

IMO his best and most realistic option is call the bengals and see whats what.

So essentially a bottom of rd 1 pick and a 3rd string RB.

Yeah a first (it will be a late first because only a contender would trade) middle pick (or swap later for early) and a depth player (who honestly would get playing time if you make it an Edge or LB or CB).  That should be the minimum IMO, but hopefully something better.  Getting back that 1st would be huge plus whatever else we can squeeze.  We have to build around Bryce for the time being.

And again.

are the Bengals (a team that’s shopping Higgins because money and their cap situation after paying Burrow and Chase coming up). Are they going to want to pay for a edge rusher that’s made it known by now he wants 28-30 mil

If they can make it work and if he is viewed as a missing piece then yeah.  Teams do that.  But I dont follow the bengals other then know burrow is hurt but I am not familiar with their needs on defense.  Recouping some value for higgins other then letting him walk has to be a priority for them

 

again scott has to do due diligence and call

The Bengals can't afford him plus Burrow's health is questionable right now.  They might not be in the playoff race if Burrow can't get healthy (you know since he tried playing through a calf injury).  

If we keep losing we need to be in sell mode with Burns being top of the list as he can get the best return and would cost the most money to extend.  Not accepting the Rams deal sucks, but it can't be undone.

So you get that 1st back

and your edge/DE room consists of DJ Johnson and Barno.  Are you using that 1st from Burns to draft a edge.  Or draft a WR and get a couple of Marquis Haynes level guys as your starting edge rushers?

I just know that they Want to keep both Chase and Higgins.  And have even thrown around the idea of tagging Higgins to hold onto him.

But most who cover the team expect him to be traded strictly due to $$.

 

And yes.  Scott should at least make a call.  But just don’t see it happening knowing they are moving off a offensive weapon they want to keep because of $$ and the cap.

Barno, Johnson, Houston, YGM for the rest of the year plus Haynes when he returns.  If YGM keeps looking better he might be a cheap extension for depth.  Then yeah you look at an older vet pass rushers to hold down the spot or draft one in rounds 2-3.  $30 million allocated to Burns would make it too hard to fill all of our holes and depth needed.  If we can flip Burns we should have a lot of cap space to sign some decent FAs plus you get the first back plus a depth player and better pick in the draft.

Problem is

out of all those guys you listed.

only Johnson and Barno are under contract next season.

Are you signing them as intention as your 2 starters.

I know YGM has had 1.5 games of looking good this year. 
But are you wanting a guy who was on the verge of being cut coming out of camp as your full time starter beyond this year on a smaller extension?

Burns has been almost nonexistent since the opening quarter in Atlanta where he posted two sacks.  The past couple of games: 6 tackles (3 solo and 3 assists) and one sack.  Luvu has .5 less in sacks but 5 more tackles.  His contract is nowhere near Burns, but producing comparably.

 

I love Luuvu and hope he is here pst this season.

But I know of at least 1 sack he got last week was a direct result of Carr stepping up to avoid Burns and stepped right into Luuvu for the Sack.  
In addition, how many sacks do you see him to continue from that LB if Evero leaves and a new DC comes in?  Is a new DC going to utilize him in those exotic blitzes?

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
