I don't understand the folks upset we didn't make any moves today.

A big part of our issues since Tepper bought the team has been a constant series of knee jerk win now type moves that have just dug us into a big hole. And now folks are upset we didn't make more of them?

I wouldn't have minded trading some guys away today, but it was a buyer's market. The sellers were getting fleeced.

Honestly, sometimes doing nothing is the best bad option you have.

Short memory because all I remember is people whining before he got here that we never made splash moves and for the first year of his tenure they were drooling at all the moves he made. Hence the laser eyes.

Only problem is that someone has to be willing to offer a 1st. With Sweat going for a 2nd, I highly doubt a 1st for Burns was ever being floated.
And they're not going to get nothing for him next year, if they don’t reach a deal they’re going to tag him. 

Burns wasn’t the only one on the block.

That is exactly where I think it is headed which is why I think we probably should have taken what we could get.  Of course fitterers ego and maybe teps was too big to let that happen as doing so wold be admitting their fug up last year.  We will get peanuts if anything for the guy cause he ain't showing poo this year and the rest of the team and our dismal record doesn't make him look any damn better.

I think Sweat and Young being available tanked the potential market for Burns. I wouldn't trade a 1st and more for Burns if I could get Sweat for a 2nd or Young for a 3rd. Especially knowing he's wanting nearly $30M per.

That's it right there. 2 ends available for far less in picks and dollars than Burns. Smart teams weren't giving up what the Rams offered last year for a edge rusher with only 9 games remaining under contract. Was never going to happen.

He’s gonna get tagged this offseason if they don’t reach a deal. If he walks for nothing it’ll be year after next. 

I dont think anyone will give 2 firsts for him anymore and I think there will be drama from franchising him.  There almost was during training camp this year just because he hadnt been given an extension.   If we franchise him, we wont get the 2 firsts to trade him and he definitely wont be happy here.  Fitterer just keeps burying himself further and further in a lose lose situation instead of just admitting his mistake.

Outside of trading guys we frankly don’t even play use like a TMJ or maybe Chinn for meh picks….there wasn’t much we could do.  Fitt shouldn’t be allowed to send any picks anywhere anymore 

The trading Burns window came and went.  Front office would just look dumb to deal him for a fraction of what was offered.  And that’s where they are.   Look foolish trading him. Won’t look good paying him.  I still have my nickel on him walking away for nothing a la Peppers in the end. History repeating.

We just need to stay patient for a playmaker in 2024.  We knew we didn't have one or the ammo to get one.

Come this time next year, if we're looking at the same problem, then there's clear organizational issues.  

The Burns issue lingering is annoying but whatever at this point with him.

I don't know...

I'd much rather have Chase and Montez than Brian Burns. Would have been crazy but maybe they could have been in on those 2 and then traded Burns in the offseason. They would have, at the very least, been able to get a 2nd and 3rd for Burns in the offseason. And likely could have signed both Chase and Montez for just a little more than what they're about to pay Burns.

I think the fact that Young and Sweat went for what they did, helped keep us from over paying Burns. He is much closer to those guys than a Bosa, or a TJ Watt. 

 Nick Bosa only has 3 more career sacks than Burns. Burns also has more combined and assisted tackles. We’re going to have to pay him.

He's also played in less games but has way more pressures. It's good that Burns is available, but he's markedly less effective than Bosa. We were always going to have to pay him, but Bosa money?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
