If we intend to keep him and feel the open market will determine his value and not his agent, then the transiton tag might be the best move, if you are willing to wave "bye bye."  I am confident some team with cap room and 1 or 2 needs might overpay.  However, free agency has been rather subdued recently.   I am not sure if that impacts conditional draft picks, I do not think it does, so we know we'd probably get a third for him if we play free agency right.  If we want to trade him, the franchise tag is the way to go, and the way I think we go.  In my opinion, he would be overpaid on the franchise tag.   My answer:  Franchise tag and try to trade him and get some future picks.

I suppose trading him is my preference but I think it's pretty unlikely we get anything noteworthy for him given the contract he thinks hes worth.

rather indifferent. If Morgan meant what he said I don't see him fitting the description of the type of player he mentioned wanting.

good question.  I am torn.

I want to say franchise tag (non-exlusive) but I don't think he's going to get as much interest to warrant the two first rounders in that trade.  I think we lose in a transitional tag battle.

To me, it's best to find a trade partner before the deadline.

I did not see the last two options for some reason--I would trade him for draft capital if I could get a first for him

Not going to get a first for him. We just saw better players at his position go for seconds and less. Trade him for whatever they can get for him and be done with it.

Burns did not put up the numbers but he did not have a lot of heat on the other side, allowing offensive blocking schemes to focus on him.  However, he has not earned elite money.  I just worry that if he leaves, our CBs suddenly get worse and our D becomes a problem while fixing the offense.  He is a player, but you have to think of the players you won't get if you pay him.

If you transition tag him and lose him, do you still get a comp pick for him?

I’d rather trade him because just like CMC he’s not going to put us over the top. He needs to be next to other talented players.
 

If we overpay for him I don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world, at least he’ll have the security but he’s just too in between to be an elite edge. Maybe front load his contract and hope we can extend him for cheaper if/when a SB window opens up and he’s failed to be impactful.

Hmmm....unsure about that. They didn't technically didn't hit free agency, but you also lost a high value player to another team, which is what the compensatory process is all about.

      What a franchise QB looks like

      By strato · Posted

      3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now.

      The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By strato · Posted

      My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
