What's Burns worth at this point?

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TRADE BURNS.

Keep him. Tag him. Let the next GM determine whether to resign him or trade him. 
 

I don’t trust Fitt to get proper compensation. I also don’t trust him with any picks. 
 

He should be barred from trading anyone. 
 

And if you have to bar him, go ahead and fire him. 

So tepper can get it out of the way and just appoint himself gm?

He's got 4 sacks, 5 tfl, 1 ff, 8 qb hits and 15 pressures in 5 games but oh noes he's playing bad. 

 

Omfg

So what's his position?  He isn't a DE, he can't contain or stop the run.  Is he an OLB??  Can he cover?

Burns is a disruptor, no argument there, but teams know he can't stop the run and teams that can run the ball have a field day running to his side.  Double Brown and run where Burns is lined up.  He doesn't even stand up the OL blocking him to at least slow the run down and at the very worst he tackles air like he did today.

He is not worth $30M.  If we could get a 1st and 3rd at this point we should take it.

He’s worth more to this team than what we could get in return.

Just keep trading away what ever talented players we have left until the team is nothing but free agent flops and draft busts. 

He's really not - we're going 0-17.

This is hilarious. 

 

He's got his best grade ever from pff so far this season and he's not worth what he was last year. 

He is worth far less because his contract is about to be up. No one needs to offer a lot for him. We will end up franchising him and then likely having to move him at a very reduced rate just to get anything at all.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
