We could have CMC and DJ Moore on this team right now and still have traded for Young. That is the sickening part. We lost a HoF type RB and that didn't have to happen to move up for Young. Don't trade CMC to SF, but do trade Burns to the Rams. Don't trade DJ to the Bears, offer other players. They would have taken a different deal. We were already offering a fantastic deal, and if the Bears don't want a player, then offer another future pick. Fitt DOES NOT know what he's doing.

CMC didn't want to be here....he sat his way out of Carolina.  You don't see him missing an entire season for San Fran do you?

Fug CMC.

As for Burns, tag him if he doesn't want to negotiate.  If he doesn't sign he can sit at home and we retain his rights.

Teams don't look kindly on the type of player who will sit out and pout over a fair deal.  He'll have to come back after not playing and not get paid as much on a "prove it" deal and I have doubts unless he is opposite a real disruptive DE that he won't be able to generate $30M+ contract #s.

Bring him into the office and lay this on the table: One year contract at $11 million. Sign it and we try to trade you. You get a prove it year with a good paycheck somewhere with a chance to extend that contract there if you play up to their wants. If not, just let him go and accept the third round compensatory pick and wish him the best.

Tag and trade his ass. If we can't get a trade partner then let him walk and get a compensatory. Should have traded him to the Rams when we had the chance but hindsight is 20/20. I can definitely say I don't feel he is worth some big ass contract.

There is nothing hindsight about “should have traded him to the Rams.” Many on this board were screaming that exact sentiment at the time.

No hindsight necessary - it was obvious then and there that it was an absolute windfall for a second- or third-tier player like Burns.

Counter point:  How are DJ Moore and CMC doing outside of Carolina?  What did we do with the assets we got from them?

While I don't want to pay Burns $30+ million a year, let's be careful what we wish for.  Burns put out 8 sacks on a team that NEVER led.  He never got to pin his ears back.  His next best edge rusher this season was YGM.  

While Burns wasn't all world, he was the only remotely consistent pass rusher we have.  Luvu has been a good interior pass rusher, but that was not his primary job this season.

This entire season was a giant TURD of a season.  No one is immune from the smell.  But if we trade Burns or let him walk, don't be surprised if he plays well else where.  We keep trading away great talent and we have a 2~15 record to show for it...  Maybe, just maybe we try keeping a talented player.

He doesn't earn his salary here. I'm not a fan of paying an unearned contract to a player to prevent them from possibly earning it somewhere else.  If he's not earning his current contract here there's absolutely no reason to give him a raise.

      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
