Top 5? Top 3?

This is crazy

If Washington ownership was pushing to dump guys maybe we can ask if they want a 5th for Scary Terry

I mean this is why he went for a third and not multiple firsts. You have to be worried about the injury / long term arthritis.

I think when hes healthy he is. Sort of like Jaycee Horn for us. Dude can go but is often on the sidelines.

I believe its a third round pick officially.

Burns is bad against the run in any formation.

I wish this was us. Hargraves, Bosa and Young on one line? Gross.

Sweat is a complete defensive lineman. Burns is strictly a pass rusher.

Would it be overpaying to trade a second round pick for Brian Burns? Respectfully, I completely disagree with his assessment here. We would be crucified for trading Burns away for a second. This guy has more sacks than Burns this year and doesn't have the same hole Burns has in his game of being one of the worst edge defenders against the run in the NFL. Like, dude is a complete player.

It gives the Bears a few months of trying to work out a deal and if one is not reached they franchise tag him. Hes not a few month rental.

I think since this is directly Panthers related this should have its own thread.

I posted it above I mean usually when a new GM comes in they assess and move a bunch of current players around and a lot of times good players get moved. That is why its usually a death sentence for a young QB to get drafted by a coach+GM regime one year and then have a new coach and GM the next, like what happened in Chicago. Instead of building around the QB in the second year ( first year for the coach and GM ) they went heavy defense. Kind of like when the Cardinals had Rosen and then got KK to coach the team and then boom, they were moving on from him. New GMs like to sign and draft their own "guys" and not reward the previous guys guys who happened to get him fired.

Probably because they aren't "Poles Players" since he just joined. So all these guys on the team are from a previous regime and none are up for extensions yet.

I think they had discussions with him already on an extension before making the deal official. And franchise tagging him probably get him for cheaper for one season than a new contract would have.

Johnson is a significant upgrade over Hill and Henderson. Evero in his year running the Denver defense was low on sacks, his leader had 6.5 on the season, but an elite corner in Surtain and their offense sucked but he still held teams back from scoring a ton despite that. Doesn't seem like his defense needs a pass rusher that is a monster. They dialed up a lot of pressure from the linebackers. Getting an elite corner and multiple picks that can be used to load up and go after a top WR or lineman for Bryce doesn't at all seem like something that is the worst trade ever, dumbest thing of all time, horrible move etc. But the good news is, we don't have to do that as Chicago already got a better defensive end for just a second rounder.

Chicago isn't going to swap out DJ Moore back to the Panthers. He will help their next QB out next year. Try another trade. Only we were dumb enough to trade DJ and then go draft a QB,
