Not really. I doubt there were many offers, I doubt there were any higher and he wasn't going to stay here.

It just is what it is. He really didn't cost us much anyway so what does it truly matter?

Well, the priority is whining of course.

This is why you need to draft better.

 

Can't depend on FAs signing here. We had to overpay just to get 2 guards to sign here. Draft better the talent will come.

Yep. It all starts with the draft. If we draft better, the rest will fall into place

Anyone that's seen the videos of Morgan negotiating the Burns deal with the Giants staff shouldn't be surprised with this. His negotiating skills are laughably bad.

Morgan went from asking the giants for two 1st at senior bowl that downgraded to a 2nd and 5th. Morgan even tried begging the giants to add an additional 7th into the deal but the giants straight up told him no and Morgan caved...

The trade went down after the Giants was on record for saying that Burns was worth at least one 1st round pick

Watching Morgan outright beg them to add a damn SEVENTH rounder, while the Giants just laughed it off and told him no was the most embarrassing negotiation (if you can even call it that) that I've ever seen.

Holy sheet, I just saw that the Panthers also agreed to pay off almost all of DJ salary as well. The Ravens are only on the hook for 625k, Panthers end up paying over $17 million for him to end up playing for someone else. That was one of the few benefits of trading him away and you caved on that too?

What. The. Fug.

Bro I’m not surprised by anything this retard toilet bowl franchise does anymore. It’s almost like it’s willful at this point. There’s ineptitude then there’s intentional failure and if they aren’t doing this intentionally at this point, trading away high talent offensive players for peanuts, then they’re the dumbest franchise in the history of pro sports.

We don't have the cap space to be making big moves

It is unlikely to be big moves but a LOT of roster churn, I suspect. 

But, big moves are possible because we have a lot of guys that can be cut, as well.

It will he interesting to see if they panic and start trying to save their skins(Canales/Morgan) or they remain patient and build slowly.

That may be true, but we sent a 6th. We couldn't even get a 5th outright? It's just the principle. A 5th is bad enough as far as I'm concerned. I thought we'd get a fourth, but whatever.

Yeah, it's a little disappointing but it just is what it is.

Might as well keep him for the season at that price.

That really wasn't an option. He went full locker room cancer mode and we really don't need that at the moment. Especially with some potentially impressionable young WR's here.

I have no idea where you are getting these numbers but they are not accurate.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
