Juston Burris is going to the Panthers

Burris, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the Jets back in 2016 out of NC State. He was in the third year of his four-year, $2.89 million contract when the Jets waived in October of 2018. 

The Jets re-signed Burris to their practice squad after he cleared waivers but was signed by the Browns off their taxi squad after a week. Cleveland elected to decline to tender a qualifying offer to Burris last year, but later re-signed him to a one-year, $645,000 deal.

In 2019, Burris appeared in 14 games for the Browns and recorded 32 tackles, one sack, two interceptions, a forced fumble and seven pass defenses.

At least we can all admit we’ve never heard of these guys. If you’ve never heard of them, hard to have a strong opinion them. 

Id also like to add, these deals are not being made without the endorsement of the head coach we just signed to 7 years and 62.5 million plus his Baylor buyout cost.

That being said I can’t say these are good or bad signings because I don’t know the players nor do I know the plan for them. 

Just wanted to be a voice of reason before we see 15 pages of blind rage towards Hurney and players they know nothing about.

Doesn't look like a retool FA so far. I will give them some time though still early in the FA process. I wasn't expecting big names to begin with, but I also wasn't expecting no names. I never heard of any of these two players and we are giving them decent money.lol

Why are we giving these guys so much money? Like just give him 2 and Weatherly 4. The Vikings beat writer was surprised we gave him that much and 4 million for a guy Ive never heard of.....

Hurney is going to screw our comp picks paying big money for backup level players.

    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl  
    • If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
    • Im all for defense. I’ll add Will Johnson and remove McMillian. While I’d rather have DL, two strong corners will allow for more safety help in the box, so it’s still a win for the run game.
