Who would possibly trade for Sandert?

It gives the Bears a few months of trying to work out a deal and if one is not reached they franchise tag him. Hes not a few month rental. 

Which, in Nguyen's analysis, means overpaying for him not once but twice.

That Ezra Cleveland trade is the exact type of move we should make. 6th round pick for a starting LG that has a 73.8 PFF rating.

I hope the Panthers learned their lesson. 

I don't know that this report has any veracity.

Well that's just like his opinion.

His and Lombardi's...and others.

Their opinions may or may not be correct, but they're a lot better informed than any of ours.

Would it be overpaying to trade a second round pick for Brian Burns? Respectfully, I completely disagree with his assessment here. We would be crucified for trading Burns away for a second. This guy has more sacks than Burns this year and doesn't have the same hole Burns has in his game of being one of the worst edge defenders against the run in the NFL. Like, dude is a complete player.

No one is bailing us out on those Sanders and Hurst gaffs. Why would anyone want guys who have lost their starting jobs to afterthoughts after they were brought in and paid to be dudes?

Fishbain had some good insight to it all.

The Bears trading a 2nd for Sweat definitely isn't overpaying. I honestly thought the Commanders probably should've traded Young instead. He's been their version of Jaycee Horn. Good when available but rarely available. Young could've probably fetched them more on the trade market and he'll be more costly to re-sign to boot.

What surprises me is that the Bears were buyers on the market but I guess they are sitting pretty with draft capital right now.

This, Jamo or Jalen Johnson would be an excellent forward-thinking move. Probalby comes down to assets going out from Carolina, which will most likely be too expensive for us.

Still holding out hope that TMJ + 4th gets us a reuniting of Bryce and Jamo Williams.

Not a chance in hell. Lions would have zero motivation to do that. Like what is their motivation to move on and not keep developing him? Why would they be that desperate to give up a 2022 first rounder for a 4th round pick? Makes no sense.

If you were to ask a bunch of NFL GMs to evaluate the two, I kinda doubt you'd find many who'd put a higher value on Montez Sweat than Brian Burns, especially given the context of their situations.

Panthers front office hoping to find someone as dumb as them to offload Sanders. Hilarious.  

He had 1300 yards last year. Our OL is atrocious. Could sell it as a relatively friendly contract to a running back needy team.
