Good FA so far minus Burns trade

If it wasn’t for the crappy return on Brian Burns knowing last year we could have gotten two first for him, the FA has been more than solid so far.  We know it was Tepper meddling and refusing to trade Burns and also not willing to pay him $30MM a year. 

Burns was a sunk cost and Morgan had to get what he could, and nobody was willing to give a first rounder at this point. I do truly believe he got the best deal he could at this point in time.

I will choose to judge him on the other moves which have been solid, solidifying the guard positions, trading for a receiver and signing some good defenders.  

He will need to maximize the returns on draft picks.   Both second rounders will have to be legitimate starters when the season starts or it’s a bust.

Not a fan of the guard money unless Corbett and Christensen injuries are career threatening. Need a track star WR and an rb who can break tackles. Defense is going to be cover 0 and hope for turnovers.

Lol wut. Why do people keep acting like signing guards is bad. The saints made a living off this and that is why they had elite OLs. We needed serious depth regardless because look what happened this year. 
the guards we signed are massive and that is going to make our oline so much better

I really don’t see how Morgan can be faulted for the Burns situation.

The majority of individuals on this board have stated that Burns isn’t worth $30M a year and the front office agreed.

So what are the options:

1) Burns plays under the tag and half asses is all season, just like he did last year.

2) Burns holds out and we are stuck with a cap hold.

3) The franchise tag is rescinded and we lose him for nothing (ex. Josh Norman).

4) Burns is traded and you get what you can for him while opening up more money.

Morgan did the best he could with the cards he was dealt.

OL is general is absolutely premium right now.  The league lacks overall talent there

Gained:

2nd, 5th

DT A’Shawn Robinson

LB Josie Jewell

WR Diontae Johnson

RG Robert Hunt

LG Damien Lewis

Maybe: EDGE DJ Wonnum

 

Lost/Ditched:

Frankie Luvu

Brian Burns

Jeremy Chinn

Donte Jackson

YGM

Bradley Bozeman

Vonn Bell

 

 

 

Only one I’m remotely disappointed in is Luvu, but he wanted to move on.

Would have also liked to kept Bozeman as depth because cutting him didn’t affect the cap, but I won’t lose sleep over it.

No way we were gonna get a 1st for a guy and they'd have to pay him $30M in his first season. 

Carolina would have had a Tee Higgins situation like Cincinnati. Them standing strong on multiple high picks is gonna screw them in the long run. Tee has already requested a trade. It's gonna get ugly.

Burns quitting on his team over money showed his true colors. He got exactly what he deserved. The NY sports media. One trick pony better find paydirt in the NFC East. I’d have let him go for a pack of grape big league chew so I’m really pretty pleased with what we got. 

As much as I disagree with forking over big $ for free agents in the beginning stages of FA, nothing they’ve done has been out of line. I’ll be patient and hopefully less synical.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By strato · Posted

      That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      By woahfraze · Posted

      This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce.

      Dan's first draft

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
