Meh...as in you think the compensation was spot on or that was the best we were getting for him?  I was even willing to spread the draft compensation over two...even three drafts as long as the value came through.

It was a bit less than I wanted.  I had mentioned in the speculation threads a future 1st (not 2024) and a mid-later round pick was my guess.  At the least get a 2nd and mid rounder.  It does not leave me thinking we negotiated well, right below my minimum expectation.  Slightly underwhelmed.

I guess the Giants weren't going for that. We most likely got the best deal they were willing to give and still pay Burns what he wanted.

I was angling for a 2nd/3rd this year and next year's first.  That I would have been happy with.  I had no misconception that the Giants were going to give up their #6 this year.

It would have been like a 4th/5th this season with next years first. 

The value wasnt changing.

Sometimes you need to move something lower than you hoped to clear out space or raise funds for another deal you like so much that you think the shortfall in return can be made up on the other end. Or you just think it is worth doing it for.

We can hope there is something.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
