A 3rd round pick for Burns is lunacy. Get off the drugs.  

Please elaborate. What makes Brian Burns so special? He wasn't even our best pass rusher last year. We signed a random FA to a 1 year deal and he was able to out play him. I think you guys over value the players we have because you are a Panthers Homer and that's fine but I'd like to see this team win more than 5 games in a season eventually

What does shelling out big $$ for Burns do for us really? Because that's what's going to happen if we don't move him. Sure we could let him walk in hopes to get a comp pick but by the time he's a FA our new HC will be making moves and signing players of his own. Too much of a gamble. Burns is not worth what he's going to demand on the open market. Better get what we can for him now

Just for the sake of argument.  Say we trade Burns and get 2 first rounders. DJ probably we get a 2nd and Chinn a 2nd.  Shaq if we are lucky a 3rd.

So, we go into the draft with 3 first, 4 second and 2 third round picks.  If we are fortunate enough to hit on all 9 of these picks 2/3 of them will have the two to three year growing pains.   You set yourself back a minimum of 2 years.

Brown is a classic example.  He was a stud coming out of college but took a couple years to finally start reaping the benefits of his skill. Makes no sense at all. 

Horn, Burns, Brown, Chinn are the core defensive players we must keep.

DJ, Icky, Christensen and Moton are our core offensive players that we must keep.   

You build around these guys with players like Mays and McCall just to name a few.

Gutting the whole team is the dumbest thing you can do.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
