What I realized about a Burns Trade:

I was watching Colin Cowherd for the herdline news when they brought up Thomas Brown, and as usual instead of sticking to the topic they go off on a random tangent, this time, would the Panthers be sellers at the trade deadline? Logically they brought up Brian Burns because he's the only semi-household name on the team. When both of them tried to think about playoff teams that would part with draft capital to make a Super Bowl push, they couldn't. Their best guess was Miami (but they already paid Bradley Chubb). Eventually they went silent for 10 seconds before moving on... But it made me think. 

Who would he even get traded to? or more specific, Who needs him?

These are the 7 playoff teams. This thought experiment goes off of the assumptions that 1) These are the playoff teams we'll see in January. 2) They won't trade for someone else. This also keeps in mind that Burns is not really good in the running game, so teams aren't really tradiing him for run support. 

Starting with the AFC: 

1) Kansas City Chiefs:  Tied for the 12th most sacks (17). They have Chris Jones, and George Karlaftis (1st Round Pick). Trade Viability: 3/10
2) Miami Dolphins: Tied for the 3rd most sacks (21). They traded for Bradley Chubb last year for 1st Rd. Pick + change, and gave him long term money. Also have to pay Tua and Waddle. Trade Viability: 0/10

We had a trade for him to the Rams. Something like that will never materialize again. 

There are very few teams that would even bother at this point. They will just wait until he holds out on a franchise tag so they can get him dirt cheap by comparison.

May as well give up on the idea of any sort of major compensation. That time has passed.

Detroit would be 1 team I look at but we definitely  missed out on trading him 2 separate  times already. To the Rams and to move up for Bryce. We could've possibly kept our 1st next year by including him. 

I doubt they would've taken 2 players in the trade for cap reasons, but rumor has it they wanted him over Moore.

Yeah I smell another 2009/10 Peppers situation.  Tag and trades are rare because the player doesn't have to sign the tender and until they do, things are at a standstill.  Unless there's a strong possibility of the player being traded somewhere they actually want to go with a fat contract extension waiting for them, they don't have to do poo until they risk missing game checks.  Especially if signing an extension with the current team is off the table.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
