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

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
