So, Burns wasn't worth 30 million a year, but we should have gotten 2 first rounds picks?  Both can't be true. 

I knew he'd get paid. It's just hiw the NFL works. 

Oh, and now we have zero pass rush.  

 

Should we have taken the 2 firsts from the Rams, yes, that being said Fitterer didn't and is no longer a part of the team plus Burns didn't really perform up to the standard. His play last season wasn't worth 30 Million and of course it also ended up hurting what we could potentially get for him. Personally, I wanted both their 2nd rounders but I'll take what we got and be done with his contract talk headache.

We can bitch and moan about the trade that never happened and things aren't going to change.  

I would venture to say this was probably our best offer for Burns. It didn't help much with the tweet a couple of days ago saying Burns was worth on a 3rd. 

It frees up 24 million and hopefully we find a DE that will make this loss less of a sting. I can't remember his name but there is an edge rusher from Dallas that played well last year and is on the market. Maybe Morgan has his eyes on him.

One other thing about this trade that should be taken into consideration.  That's what Morgan does with the 24 million we just freed up.

I like the deal for us. What are the Giants thinking paying him that LMAOOO that fanbase will hate him by week 3

I give it about to week 3 until Panthers fans realize that any team will score 30+ on us.

To all the people saying we will guaranteed get at least a first for burns, here is me saying I told you so...

The fact many of us thought we would get a first rounder + either a somewhat good player or a 3rd/4th rounder was even more foolish.

Good for Burns though - he found a team foolish enough to give him a crazy contract.

The issue is *IF* you are going to turn down that offer, you must sign him long term. PERIOD. 

You go to the agent and if its not going to happen, take the haul and use the cap space on his replacement. Reddick went for 3 years 45million and put up better #s.

Wah wah wah. 

Shoulda woulda coulda....

Nobody whom was part of the team wanted Burns gone. 

Regardless of how you feel he's worth/not worth, NFL economics doesn't give a damn what you think. 

He just signed a deal 30 million a year.  So in the eyes of the NFL, that is what he's valued at. 

Belly ache all you want to. Blame everyone for all I care. This isn't madden, and never will be.

Its crazy because it doesn't feel like the Giants are 'one piece away' or anything. They still need a QB. This is a CPU in Madden type of move for them.

Lmao, maybe read what I said again. I'm perfectly FINE that we traded him for what we could get for him. Like I said I'd have liked have got their 2 2nd's but I'll deal with the 2nd and next years 5th AND get our 24 million back from his Franchise Tag. I'm fine with trading him because he didn't perform up to what he wanted us to pay him and we atleast got something instead of hanging on just to get nothing yet again

      Panthers plan to revisit signing Stephon Gilmore after draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      I bet he wants 8+ million AND a team with a playoff roster.   Dan should just look at other options, including future cuts.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Lol. I asked you to show me where Frank said Dalton presented a much greater threat than Bryce Young (your words) and you give me your interpretation of something completely different that he said. Most normal people would listen to Reich there and see that as standard coachspeak conveying confidence in his back-up QB and your brain translates that into Reich calling out Bryce’s limitations. No poo he’s gonna say Andy can do more than one thing…why the hell would Reich say to everyone “hey if you see Andy coming in on 4th and short, IT MEANS QB SNEAK!”. If your interpretation is correct, then you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think that’d be a headline in multiple articles across multiple publications. Yet not a single site reported on it or even referenced anything he said here…that’s why you had to dig deep to find the source material rather than a single reference to it from an outside source. There’s a reason why The Huddle was the only place talking about it lol we are totally known for our rational levelheaded takes and NOT sensationalizing everything like it’s a damn soap opera (cue the pic of Nicole Tepper hugging Bryce). I guess I could claim “CRA says he thinks Bryce Young is trash and a huge bust” and if anyone asks me to source you saying that, I’ll just give my own multiple paragraph interpretation breaking down one of your posts. Btw having a difference of opinion is not being “wildly dishonest”…what a crazy suggestion for a mod of a discussion board to make. Claiming someone said something that they didn’t say? Yeah that’s being objectively dishonest.
