1 is obviously DJ, but could the other be Burns??

DJ is the first...

I'm thinking the second player is Burns or possibly Robby.  As I stated elsewhere, iI think if we extend Robby, it would be ideal nc then his contract should expire by the time TMJ's ready for his extension.

But, it would be super smart to get Brian locked up asap.  I've always felt if the player/agent are willing, it's best to sign them to an extension in the penultimate year of their rookie contract, rather than wait for the last year.

It would be amazing to lock in Burns for an extra 3 or so years before he explodes this season.

It’s Donte Jackson

I think it is Donte Jackson and DJ Moore. Donte could be affordable right now, and Fitterer talked him up hard when he was hired. 

No need to extend Burns.... still cheap for right now.

Thats what I was thinking.  He was solid last year, he just couldn’t stay healthy with his toe problem.  Fitty’s Seattle history leads credence to the idea he prioritizes DBs.  Donte and DJ (hopefully with DJ being the one close to being done) are the two he’s talking about IMO.  We still have Burns for 2 years after this on a rookie deal.

Wow. I was right.  Kind of...   I'm thinking he means after DJ, though, right?

Yeah, I edited it after I posted that to include that part.  I agree.  Especially with Burns on the edge of superstardom and being a edge rusher..

  He's gonna be pricey.  I'd like to try to strike early and possibly get a bit of a hometown discount if we could.  From how heavily his brother is invested in him being here, I know we'll have him long-term, I think it's just a matter of when and how much.

While I agree with his background lending itself to having a propensity for CBs, Donte doesn't fit the profile of the guys they drafted and retained.

I haven't seen anybody else say that though.

Kunkel is a good source, I just haven't found any corroboration for what he's saying.

At least not yet...
