Burns doesn’t think he teams top priority. Also thinks he should be paid among top edge rushers

The one thing that was done right after the huge dropped ball of not trading this guy was not signing him to some huge contract. Earned it before the season? GTFOH. You had every opportunity to go get your fat paycheck and put up your worse season since being drafted.

I wouldn't bother trying to tag and trade him unless had already worked out a deal with another team and he was aware of what was going down . You may not find a buyer. If we don't want to pay him $30 mil per year, why would we expect someone else to after an 8 sack season? Then we could be stuck with him on a big 1 year deal and go an entire season with him "playing scared" again. Or, Burns could decide to hold out over the tag issue and create a messy preseason distraction.

Id be ok just let him walk. We might be able to get a 3rd round comp pick for him in 2025.

1) he should be the team's top priority...finding a trade partner that will give us at least one 1st rounder.

2) if it will help sell him, then yes...i'll call him a top edge rusher in the league and i'll keep a straight face doing it. i'm that good.

Bingo. His deal was more on potential/youth than anything else. 

 

I went to FSU, so I'm a burns fan, but we need to just tag and trade him and be done with this. 

I love Brian Burns but he would be amazing if we have a Julius Peppers opposite him. 
He just isn’t the main event.

I like Brian on a personal level I've defended him over the months here and Scott Fitterer was a bumbling buffoon. But it's best for him to move on. We need to pay our real leader on defense Derrick Brown whatever he wants and keep it pushing. Too many other needs.

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

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
