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.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
