What would go in a package for Burns/Higgins swap?

if you want to go all in on a super bowl and getting pressure on mahomes, burns would be the way for one year. b/c right now we're wasting our time again next year and the chiefs are winning again. the afc has no one unless burrow is healthy.

Nobody is trading for Burns without a long-term contract agreed on.

I was thinking that but I guess if the Bengals have tagged Higgins as basically a one year rental and don't intend to extend him they'd maybe think having Burns on a 1 year rental would give them a better chance of winning.

By all accounts Higgins is the Brian Burns of Receivers - Young, good, promising, not quite elite #1 player at his position.

Grass is always greener and all.

I'd still rather have a receiver so the offense doesn't look catatonic.

not sure I love that analogy.  Tee Higgins is a solid all around WR.  He just lacks that special quality that puts him over into that elite tier. 

Burns isn't a solid all around DE

Why would we make this trade?

We're nowhere near competing and in no position to hand out a mega contract to a WR.

Trade Burns for picks and rebuild properly. It's really not that hard.

We are nowhere near competing, but your plan is to not sign good FA's and keep depending on the draft to develop talent.

 

Did you see the draft we just had not a single good player came from that draft. Bryce the noodle arm midget and Mango ready to Tango was nowhere to be found.

 

Cmon man this goes both ways. You have to sign good FA's and draft well. The two goes hand and hand.

 

Cmon old man times has changed. You gotta spend big if you want a better product.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
