I thought he was supposed to be a hard-nosed negotiator? I am curious to know what his position was on the Burns contract offer.

Good point.  Moton getting $30m as a RT and Burns is more valuable that 2 first rounders but not worth what Moton, the RT, is making?   Not sure I see the logic.

May be reading too much into this.  Maybe Morgan would just prefer to work with someone else.  

If recent reports are true, it’s probably more about the front office restructuring and bringing in someone that can wear multiple hats e.g. personnel, contracts, analytics, etc. Thus the interest in Halaby from Philly, Tilis from KC and Matteo from Baltimore. All from successful organization and considered up-and-comers in League circles. I’m good with Tilis or Matteo.

Yeah, he really put Robbie, Ian and Donte in their place. Houston and Sanders probably sent him an card after the news.

All I know is that we signed off on Darnold’s 5th year option and if he was the cap/contract guy, he failed miserably. There was no reason to do the fifth year. Worst case scenario is that we found a gem for cheap and would have to pay $3-6M (can’t recall exact #s) more to franchise him. Best case scenario, he fails like most of us expected and we save $18-21M. Any good cap/contract guy would have known. The “risk” of not doing the 5th year was negligible if you actually found your future QB.

That’s very misleading. Moton’s 5 year deal averages $17M per year not $30M. That’s also Moton’s cap number, not average salary, and it’s high because we pushed a ton of cap to the backend of the deal. If we sign Burns, he’ll be getting a lot more per year than Moton, almost double.

Agree.  It was a texbook no risk move to skip the 5th year.  If he's great, you pay him $40 million a year with a silly grin on your face knowing how many draft picks you just saved.

Same page. Just like Fitterer, you often hear this guy was good in the huddle, but the proof isn’t really there.

$17.8 average on that 4 year deal Link. Suleiman decided to push most of the money back into the last 2 years because he could just make another deal and push more dead cash to another year. If he would have given Burns a deal similar in structure then it's like Burns having a cap hit of 60 million his last 2 years...

Sorta misleading.  If the Moton deal was back loaded to cost nearly $30m in 2024, and you anticipated Burns needing a new deal in 2024, it really focuses on their salary timeline--not to compare the overall contracts.  I would have paid Moton $17m over the 4 years and not tried to back load it.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
