Davante Adams growing "frustrated" in diminished role, per Schefter....

[stratocatter]

I would not do that deal, unless Tepper told me he would fire me if I didn’t. Seeing as he is probably the reason the big offer for Burns was rejected, I’m thinking Tepper says no to trading his star DE for a trifling WR.

We are spending on defense because we have a point guard, anyway. Remember?

you also have to wonder with his usage to date is he going to hit a wall in a few weeks

Definitely possible. I think he was primarily signed as a security blanket for Bryce, not to carry the brunt of the load in the passing game.

poo didn't realize this was here. you want a #1, you make this happen.

Forget Adams.  Too old and not worth it for the short term boost.  The answer is in the building.  Mingo going to be a monster, an AJ Brown type of receiver and Thielen is already elite and will continue to be.  We need a young burner and that is who I would target in next year's draft.

All our WR are going to suddenly look better without Frank calling plays.  Continue to build chemistry. 

I keep trying to resign Burns until he makes us tag him, then I trade him.

Resign Chinn and get him on the field.  I don't care if you have to invent a position for him.  That dude is a football player.  He's my 2nd linebacker and or slot CB/S every play.

We are the worst football team by far, if you want to trade Burns get draft picks in return not older vets.

Have you looked at our last like 5 draft classes?

Obviously Fitterer must go. My fear is the unknown of how much our owner has been in Scott's ear for these drafts though. It might not matter all that much if we fire him.

The classic disgruntled 30 something year wr whose production isn't remotely worth the salary being paid. This has a bad desperate franchise like Carolina wrote all over it.

Burns for Adams straight up and all sins forgiven 

Who says no? 

Nope. We don’t need player for player trade. We need capital and a better GM. 
 

At this point we are barely even a farm team.

Touche, but anything and anyone we have signed, drafted or traded for with this GM has been poo, so at least lets get some cheap young guns.

For one thing he's already 30. For another I have no idea why he would even consider or want to play here.

Our best receiver is a 33yo with about half the juice of DA. I would take him in a heartbeat even if Burns was involved. I think Burns is the more valuable player but if CAR could get DA + a pick for Burns I would do that trade.

You're only looking at it from our point of view. Adams on the other hand wouldn't be happy here. He's trying to win at this stage of his career. Trading him to the worst team in the NFL will only make him more pissed.

He’s already won? He won a ton with GB. He’s pissed about Vegas bc of the QB situation and he’s not being used so his production is going down. From that perspective CAR is at worst a lateral move. At best it’s a massive upgrade.
