What he got paid doesn't mean he's worth it.  Another team was not going to pay him what he wanted AND give up a 1st to do it. That was never going to happen.  I hope the Giants get their money's worth out of him. We certainly didn't get ours.

Wondering if he'll "take plays off" in the Meadowlands?

Have they said if they 5th round pick swap is swapping 141 for 140 or 165 for 140?

Swap? Dont think its a swap.

That one is not correct, but there are reportedly multiple unconfirmed pick swaps

He better not. The honeymoon will not last long if he does. The media up there will eat him alive.

If you think Burns is a future hall of famer I have some ocean front property in AZ to sell you.

It's possible

It's been reported in places as 39, 2025 5th rounder and a 5th round pick swap.

The point isn't that he's worth that much money, it's that if someone was willing to apy him that much, then we should have been getting more in return for him

We got fleeced, period, no way around it, 3rd time in 2 years.

That logic goes both ways. He’s also only worth a 2nd and a 5th since that’s all somebody was willing to give for him by that same logic.

I haven't seen the Huddle so pissed off since Gettleman rescinded the tag on Josh Norman

Damn what did miss going to dinner and for some drinks?!?!?!  People looked at me crazy when I yelled when the trade was announce on ESPN. 

A) I'm glad Burns, as a contract distraction, and his cap burden are gone.

B) I'm pissed at the compensation.

I went from elated to pissed and now I'm numb to the whole thing.  I guess two first rounders is the MAXIMUM compensation for a franchise tag, not the law of the tag.
