Non-exclusive tag, let him entertain offers from other teams to set the market and then we match or get two 1st round picks in exchange.

Imagine if a team actually offered 2 firsts for Brian fuging Burns any GM in NFL history would snatch that up so quick....oh wait.....

Expect to hear something today.  I doubt they drag this out to 3:59:59 pm tomorrow.  I imagine they are in a last bid to get something worked out today and if negotiations fail--if they haven't already, then Burns will get slapped with the tag. Then next week when FA opens, work the phones.

A thought...could we just let him walk?  I know that was a poll question, but kinda tongue-in-cheek.  I didn't honestly think it was a viable option.  Most of the tag targets around the League have already been addressed.  However, even though talks have stalled, no word from the Panthers' camp yet.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
