Chubba is still under contract? I thought this was his last year last season. Gladly mistaken. You can tell he's not a "take half the plays off" type of player. Even down to blocking. 

And after watching that Mic'd up segment, it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually became a captain. He just needs to keep working on his hands. 

It's the 4th year of his rookie 4 year contract. He was drafted in 2021.

You forgot CMC as well. They said he was injury prone and traded him away. He goes on to be a MVP candidate.

 

What will these people say when we have no stars left. Are we now gonna blame Luvu?

Exactly my point brother, was saving the CMC point as ammo if someone had a rebuttal.

#1- sign him to a reasonable deal 24-26 mill yearly.

#2- Franchise tag him and let him show his worth going forward 

#3- Tag and trade him, he is bare minimum worth what Montez Sweat went for (2nd round) and I’m optimistic with the increased cap space more teams are comfortable paying for a edge threat, driving up his price.

1 - he wants 30 million, we offered 27 he isnt going to take 24-26

2 - this is the absolute worst case scenario as he will be a malcontent and likely just sit out

3 - best case but we pretty much lose all trade leverage so a 2nd and a player might be all we can get

We have so little talent on this team, and have drafted horribly in recent years that we don’t even have that much outside of Derick Brown and maybe Jaycee to really pay big bucks. If we get nothing for Burns then this front office is incompetent, he’s a 25 year old with 46 sacks over the last 5 seasons. You do not let that player walk for nothing.

The people responsible for this situation have already been fired. The mistake was not taking the Rams offer. I would not hold these people accountable if they thought the best way out of this situation is to let Burns walk for nothing. I know that sounds crazy but he is not worth what he is demanding, not even close no matter how his stat sheet looks. We've seen the way he impacts games and it is no where near the price tag he is demanding. Forcing this current regime to tie up a portion of the cap on a player they don't believe in does not sound like a recipe of success to me.

Letting Burns go is not an option! We need to build the defense not tear it down as we are trying to build the offense!!!! We need a complementary end to help and make the pass rush solid

you don't build a good D....by drastically overpaying Burns like he is something he isn't. You could bring in a couple needed and good players for the cost of Burns. 

would you want to make a WR one of the highest paid in all the NFL who basically only had one route in his bag of tricks? I mean, he runs that one great.   and if he wasn't running that one route was basically irrelevant?

I'd rather let him walk than pay him 30 million a year. You can add at at least a couple more quality players for that.

You have to tag and trade him. 

You can't let him walk after turning down 2 1st round picks for him. You have to get something of value back for him.

McCaffrey was sandbagging it here under Rhule.

They can always use the this is a different regime that doesn't believe in him excuse for letting him go. That trade ship sailed and the Panthers weren't on it.

Things I would do:

- Respectfully let go of Burns. Our D was decent even as he had an off season. Haynes, Barno, YGM can fill the gaps.

- Don't waste money on another LT. Open competition between BC and Icky. If BC looks better at LT, he starts at LT.

- Spend whatever I can on a #1 WR! 

There's a whole lot more to do, of course, but I'd start there.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
