Burns to reality?

Jones to KC at 31M per year

Madibuke to BAL for 25M per year

Do you think Burns is ready to play ball?

28-29 is the tops he will get.  I would only go that high if there was an out after year two or three.

140M over 5 years with 90M guarantee should get it done.  I'm pretty confident this is all on Burns.  If he can't agree to a contract by Monday I really wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before FA truly begins.

By tomorrow you should see:

  • An extension for Moton (4 years)
  • Terrance Marshall Cut
  • Ian Thomas Cut
  • Bozeman restructure or cut (bring him to a reserve lineman's salary)
  • Shaq extension (2 year cap savings)
  • Dalton traded
  • Vonn Bell restructure or extension (cap savings)
  • Xavier Woods extension (cap savings)
  • Tommy Tremble extension (cap savings plus he is young and cheap)
  • Shy Tuttle base salary restructure
  • Something done with Corbett's cap figure

FA Targets:

  • Damien Lewis (G) Seattle
  • Robert Hunt (G) Miami
  • Dane Jackson (CB) Buffalo
  • Kristian Fulton (CB) Tenn
  • A.J. Epenesa (DE) Buffalo
  • YGM (OLB) CAR
  • Frankie Luvu (LB) CAR
  • Gabe Davis (WR) Buffalo
  • K.J. Osbourne (WR) Minn
  • Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR) DET

Sneaky move:

try to trade for Steven Gilmore's brother out of Detroit for a late round pick.

26 mil a year take it or leave it 

I was here a month ago, I’d go 28 with the cap increase. I just think he’s gonna be hard headed and try to play a card that if a DT is getting 31 he should get at least 30

I get the premise extension and cap savings, but we aint winning poo any time soon so I would just rather take our hits and get out from under the bulk of those contracts.  Hopefully, there will be a time when it would be helpful to have a bunch of room to make a big time signing that may put us in a playoff type position.  Continuing to pay the players that we arent winning with doenst make sense

Chris Jones got 31 and he's a top 3 defensive player no matter the position then Burns should realistically expect less. If he wants 30 mil he can kick rocks.

 

I'm tired of this Burns talk we need to make a decision and move on.

He isn't worth a long term contract here and trading him for anything is the best outcome. Spend that money elsewhere and take any picks they can get. I wanted to keep Moore but Burns isn't that. Hell I would have rather kept Reddick than Burns.

what was Fitterer doing, besides drugs?

 

I also do not think Burn's market value goes up because the cap did.  The problem with the cap is that it makes only a few players very wealthy.  I would listen to offers, play him on the cap figure.  He will lose 3 million doing that.  If he tanks again and protects his investment, he then has 2 seasons of underperforming--costing him much more $$.  If he plays well, tag him again.  So we have Burns at a deal LOWER than what is proposed here for 2 years.  Throwing money at him is not the solution when we have so many other needs.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
