Sign Burns already

Just spent like 20 minutes playing with the cap on spotrac and man...it's going to be very difficult to keep Burns, Luvu and sign a high profile name like Tee Higgins. 

 

Basically re-signing Burns and Higgins is going to cost in the neighborhood of 25 mill each. 

This probably deserves it's own post when I have more time to really delve into it

I signed Tee for 25 mill, Burns for 25 mill, Frankie for 10 mill, resigned JJ Jansen and had to do other things to barely get us under the cap. Now obviously NFL teams can structure contracts better than this but whew we do not have as much cap space as I thought. 

Now the good news is our team is terrible and they may just go scorched earth and cut a ton of other people.

Projected tag price for Burns would be 23,342,000 FWIW.

Tag seems inevitable. He’s not earned a major contract this season. It isn’t all his fault but this is a results business, and the numbers would suggest less than he’s worth.

you obviously can’t give him what he originally wanted, you can’t just continue to let talented players walk either 

i guess it’s good news. I figured earlier in the season that tagging him may get ugly. Now I’m guessing he’d probably rather bet on himself for a season. He could still get a major pay day in free agency but probably not max value.

Tag and trade him if we can get anything worthwhile. He is decent but he isn't anywhere near top of the league and does not deserve top of the league money. If someone else wants to pay him that then trade and unload him like last nights overly spicy dinner after having 3 cups of coffee and a bran muffin.

Agree with the tag trade. Use the money to extend Brown, Luvu, and see if YGM can come cheap. I’d like to make a run at Chase Young, but he is probably pricey. Someone like Za’Darius Smith could be a nice placeholder. Of course weapons and OL need to be a priority.

I think he is likely to refuse to sign if tagged. He bet on himself this season too and it was an absolute disaster for his market value. Better off shutting it down and forcing a move on our part.

I would like to see if we could get Chase Young if he turns out to not be extremely expensive myself. If he stays healthy he is quite a player.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
