I'm thinking the value is there to get at least 2 first round picks for him regardless. Only thing as coveted by teams as a franchise quarterback is elite edge rushers. Burns is borderline elite. If not 2 firsts a decent receiver and a first at least. And assuming we could get 2 first rounders, I'd trade up for Drake Maye, Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, Cam Rising, Schrauder from Syracuse, pretty much anyone other than Bryce. He does not have the frame for this league. Bless his heart. I'd also do whatever it took to get Corral back in the building this year. Best arm talent on the team and he gets cut just because coaches are full of their own ego. That guy could actually develop into something if coaches were willing to coach another regimes pick. Then if he turns into something by the end of the year you have 2 picks to draft receiver and a new edge rusher or perhaps halfback. But I'm thinking we should've taken Robinson or Gibbs this year for hb.

Bottom line is Tepper or Fitterer screwed up. I'll let whoever wants to fess up and take the blame raise their hand. Trading McCaffery was a mistake. Trading Dj and 4 picks to move up 8 spots was a mistake. Selecting Bryce at number 1 was a mistake. Letting Foreman walk in free agency was a mistake. Cutting Corral and Shi Smith were more mistakes. Trading conditional picks for a return man was a mistake. The more moves this team makes the worse it has looked. Not paying Burns the 28 million he wanted will also probably come back to haunt us. Paying Deonte Jackson 10 million a year over Gilmore was just plain idiocy. After 28 years of watching and pulling for this team this is the first year that I can say my heart is no longer invested. And that makes me sad and angry. The value for Burns is still there. He's a great rusher. We'll get at least 2 first for him if they make the decision to trade him. Especially if we go ahead and sign him long term before the deadline.
