    I remember thinking, "The panthers should just trade Burns to the Bengals straight up" However, if I look at this WR draft and think "Which would I rather have/do?": A. Sign Higgins and pay him what we would have paid Burns (I hear he wants $25m) B. Draft a WR with the pick you would have given them and pay him $5m) Use the $20m to sign other players. I would go with B

    Barno

    Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot. Here there is no Burrow. So should he be expected to improve as the X? Yikes--to your point.

    It is possible that they traded Burns knowing they would use the resources to get Higgins? It seems as if they are going to give Bryce the best protection and a very solid set of WRs. Higgins is a #1 X, Thielen is a slot, Mingo is the Z for now. I think Tremble and Thomas will be the TEs, but there could be a draft pick (Wiley, maybe) or a large WR converted to TE (Claypool, for example). Can the defense survive without burns, Jackson, and Luvu? I think it can if the offense is strong. We can find 10 sacks, we get Thompson back, and Jackson was hurt a lot anyway. And I realize that I could bitch about how bad things are, but we have seen the first day of free agency--I am ready to move on and see what we can do.

    Higgins I think he will want a contract similar to what we were going to pay for Burns. 4 years $100m, is my guess

    Nyce!

    Personally, I was thinking, "If they do this right, they are going to have to burn it down. The entire roster was bad. Keeping Burns and his 10-sack seasons would have kept us from building other things. If you notice, we are building the offense for 2024, to see what we have in Bryce. The truth is, nobody knows how this will turn out--but the Huddle needs to be more than a place for people who are butt hurt to bitch and moan, making the same comments over and over. We get it--you are pissed. It is not going to get better right away because we had some trigger-happy firings and decisions were made impulsively to save the jobs of coaches and front office personnel. This, to me, looks like they have been given more rope and a longer runway. We have a good group of athletes in the draft where our needs are--it is a good year to clean house and rebuild. Yes, we will miss Burns, but the man was not about his teammates, the fans, the organization--he was about Brian Burns. I get it, but any athlete that admits not performing 100% at all times is going to do it again. I think he may have had a reason, as stated before, but a Captain who has odds with the management is probably a cancer.

    The draft is loaded--but yes, I would do that. he is 25.

    I think there are a lot of things that we do not know. I do not think keeping him was an option. Imagine if they let him hit free agency? Morgan did not make this problem--someone predicted that Burns would only get a third. It is probably going to get ugly before it gets better.
  11. MHS831
    The money is the issue. Now we can get a WR, Brian is not worth $30m per for 5 years. Burns, in Morgan's opinion, was not a dawg and I am guessing that he did not see him as a 3-down OLB. We have YGM and Barno and will likely add an Edge now. With the cap savings, we can also add 2 more need positions. I am disappointed, but I am not blaming Morgan. BB was damaged goods here, and teams were aware.

    which second? It makes a difference. #39 or #47, I believe.
  13. MHS831
    I was just teasing. Juan is a good sport.
  14. MHS831
    which second?
  15. MHS831
    second and fifth next year.
  16. MHS831
    done deal

    what makes you say this? I can say that (I used to work Sports at the Observer when in grad school, so I am familiar with the 'behind the scenes' concerns. I worry that she is a bit aggressive, trying to get out ahead of the story--it is competitive now--moreso than it used to be.
  18. MHS831
    I would add longsnapper depth, but that is just me.
  19. MHS831
    Right. If a 6'6"g keeps the DT within a yard of the line of scrimmage or a 6'3" offensive guard lets the DT get two yards into the pocket, the 6'6" G is easier to see over. If I hold a tennis ball a foot from me and a basketball 10 feet from me, the tennis ball looks bigger. Kinda like magic.
  20. MHS831
    Probably a good point--but something is holding this up. If other teams are involved, it would also be a waste of everyone's time to have a contract worked out before a trade was in place--I assume that Burn's agent gave the Giants a ballpark figure, and the devil is in the details. I dunno because nobody does.
  21. MHS831
    If you go back and look at our record, the Huddle is a bunch of dumbasses. Present company excluded, of course.
  22. MHS831
    Brian Burns actually could refuse to sign the tag, if I am not mistaken. They have to agree on a long term contract. New york looking for someone to play opposite Thibideaux (Sp). With the #6 pick, they can get a QB. Burns is the only person who can stump this deal. The Giants did not re-sign Barkley, letting him go to a division rival. Now that the news of this gets out, their fans will storm the castle if they dont make it happen. They have the cap room (I just saw $38m--dont know how updated it is)
  23. MHS831
    I think the damage was done with Burns before Frank was fired. We are taking the Lexus to the scrap yard now.
  24. MHS831
    I think in trades, they pay by the pound. We'd get a seventh round conditional pick in 2027
  25. MHS831
    We lost Burns months ago. All that is left is trying to get something for him
