He’s checked out gotta tag and trade and invest everything on the offensive side of the ball 

Does anyone know how much it would cost to tag him. I know it won’t be cheap-something like an average of the top 5 player at the position?

Yeah he made his statement and then put it on cruise control.

Other teams are watching too. I don't think they are super impressed. 

It’s just a bad look with the timing when all everyone is talking about is your contract and then as the talk dies down so does your production. I don’t consider it a coincidence. 
 

I feel like he told himself he’s going to make Fitt feel it until he caves for a new contract and when Fitt didn’t buy his bluff he was content with taking his franchise tag and moving onto a new scene in 2025. But that’s just my tinfoil hat logic.

Burns has played very poorly the past two games, not to mention the ejection.  He got worked by Wirfs and was a non-impact starter.  

Bigger picture, he still holds a lot of value by simply being a versatile pass-rusher.  But he's not providing enough for us and what we need for a guy warranted that high of share of the DL allocation.  He's a pass rusher, poor run defender...so his pass rushing better be dominant, yet here it sits, in the NFCS, at 6 sacks (36th/t) 

I also think it's now clear that he doesn't want to play here.  He didn't get traded, so then he was waiting to see the market work itself out.  It reset a bit, he realized he can possible get $30 mil.  Meanwhile, he got to see how good the team was this year, which as we all know imploded before even taking off.  

You can just see it. He doesn't want to be here and he wants the dinero.  

It would make sense if we did what Tepp/Fitt/Reich expected us to do this year (compete).  But now, we've honestly got more to build than last season which is hard to fathom.  So he's waiting, it will likely be a tag & trade.  The crappy thing is that he still has leverage at this point as bad as he's been.  That's again, another thing on Fitterer.

I never would have thought the bar could be lower than Gettleman or Hurney.

Isn't that fun to remember? The simple days of who sucked more, Gettleman or Hurney?

Meanwhile, Fitterer is digging a trench under that bar.

Fitts laid that bar across the Grand Canyon and is mooning them from the bottom.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
