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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
