The Real Reason This Trade is So Bad

[tukafan21]

Is because Morgan and Tepper have no balls, let me explain............

Burns was never going to play a single snap on the franchise tag this season, he showed his hand when he admitted he played scared this season out of concern of injury without his contract.

We let him dictate the terms of a trade by doing it today, it allowed him to demand more money from whatever team traded for him, thus allowing that team to have a reason to be stingy on the compensation coming back out way.

We should have let Burns sweat, let him sit there for a few weeks and when he realized he wasn't getting this $30 million a year contract and knew he wasn't going to play a snap on the tag, he'd have been willing to sign a cheaper contract (in the $25M a year range) as it would have been that or sitting out the season.

I guarantee that teams would have given better compensation if they were able to get him on a cheaper deal like that, 100% chance a team more in contention would have given us a late 1st rounder for him on a deal like that.

This was Morgan and Tepper not having the balls the play this one out and force Burns to show his hand, which was that he was NEVER going to sign the tag and play on it, I'll never be convinced otherwise.

We’re trippin way too hard on 8 sacks, 32 tackles and mediocre at best run D… we dodged a bullet not paying what the Giants did. 

[Aussie Tank]

Our team will be better without him in the long run 150 mill for a one trick pony is insane

The Giants are paying Burns all that money to get dominated by a TE multiple times a game in the run/pass game. This is exactly what this team needed. For Brian Burns not to be on the roster when TC begins AND we got 2 picks out of the deal. Burns is the Giants problem now and good riddance.

Burns will now play at a HOF level. We will continue to look stupid. That's what you get when you have an owner like ours. I miss u JR.

Look at other contracts players are getting. You can’t use deals from a year or two ago as a baseline. Players and agents know the cap is going to skyrocket over the next few years. 
 

When can you ever recall a non all pro / pro bowl OG getting a 100 million dollar deal?

And free up the tag money at the start of FA 

[Shocker]

It’s sucks but I really think the Giants screwed up giving him that contract.  Ludicrous money for him IMO.

[PootieNunu]

You guys need to wake up, we were not getting a 1st much less two of them for the right to give Burns a massive payday.

No other team was giving up more than that. 

Can't blame Morgan for Fitterer's fug ups

[Donald LaFell]

The worst team in the league isn’t gonna have a lot of trade able assets 

[LinvilleGorge]

The real reason it's so awful is the value we got in return. The Giants made him the second highest paid pass rusher in the league and only gave up a 2nd and a 5th to get him. The last time I remember a pass rusher like that getting traded was when Khalil Mack got traded to the Bears. Now I think Mack was the better player but they were comparable. Mack became the highest paid edge rusher and had 40.5 sacks over the previous four years. Burns is the 2nd highest paid edge rusher and he has 38.5 sacks over the previous four years. There's a reason why the Rams offered us two 1sts and the reason was largely the standard the Khalil Mack trade set.

What did the Raiders get for Mack? Two 1sts, a 3rd, and a 6th. We got robbed.

Dude, he's arguably a top five OG in the league. Labels don't matter, just production.

[ChuckWag78]

Yeah, let's tie your hands behind our back to try to prove a point and fight with a player all season...

Or what you can and move on, to be able to make other moves in FA with the savings. 

Who wants that distraction all year?
