NFL insider: Brian Burns' extension could be close to Myles Garrett's deal

Peppers disappeared all the time, as all pass rushers do. The best of the best all time average barely more than one single sack a game.  And even if you actually look past just the sack numbers, which you always should, pass rushers “disappear” all the time without any impact on the game. Peppers especially, people would say all the time he was lazy and disappeared, but no reasonable NFL spectator would argue that Peppers wasn’t elite.  I’m not saying Burns is on Peppers’ level, but he’s a lot closer than many here have the IQ to recognize. 

Burns had as many sacks against the Lions as Peppers had in all of 2007. Every DE has ups and downs but you pay your best players and keep them. It's sort of how the best teams win.

I wonder if we should trade Bryce young when he starts to ascend in his nfl career….

i mean he already has a batted pass in practice

i bet we could get a 4th for him at least

If Burns gets a huge contract like Garrett it will largely be based on his potential. Which is unorthodox this late in his career and should be scrutinized. His Production isn't elite but everyone is waiting for the physical gifts to translate. I hope evero unlocks him. I am a fan but those picks from the rams looks juicy

Simple question. Is there any player on the team that you like?

 

I swear you always talking negative about everyone.smh

We need to determine what he should be paid and get it done. We let Reddick walk and got nothing. If we had kept him undoubtedly Burns would have had more sacks. We do need to solidify the rest of the line. If we are not careful he may follow Reddick out the door.

A GM offered 2 1st round picks for this non elite player.

 

Either you don't know football or you just don't know football.

 

Which one is it?

 

 

Every one talks about the Rams offering (2) 1st round picks, but Rams didn’t have 1st picks to offer! They won’t have a 1st round pick until 2024. So the first round picks the rams was offering would have been the 2024 1st round pick and 2025 1st round pick.

The notion that 'professionals' are always and/or automatically right is laughable. And no one is saying Burns is a bum - that is clearly not the case. Dude's a quality player. His game is just arguably not worth top dollar.

Sit back and see, but I'd be willing to be he gets paid more than you think he's worth. And whether or not you agree with the experts on his worth, it's simple economics. Premium pass rushers (which he is) get paid. 

Sorry you don't like it.

I still think we should have traded him. Those picks and his upcoming contact being used on FAs could have set this side up just lovely

They can see how he transitions to OLB before committing. The ability to trade before the deadline still exists..

Elite? Elite players don’t disappear. Like Burns did multiple times last season alone. 

Matt you have some weird fascination with elite players. Canes players aren’t elite. THEY SUCK!!! Burns isn’t elite. THEY SUCK! 
 

Smitty was elite as elite gets and I can find you games that he didn’t have a single catch. Luke was elite, he had games they he didn’t play well. Peppers, they same. Hell I’ve seen Brady and Mahomes have bad stretches. 
 

by your standards everyone should be elite or they suck. 
 

I don’t think you know sports at all. I think you show up here just to post negative crap to get people worked up. How have they not banned you yet?

Really should have traded him to the rams. 2 top ten picks plus an early second would have been better then a huge contract.  I'd also really like to see him produce in the 3-4 prior to a huge deal

Late? He turned 25 last month.

Yes, I've stated I don't think his on-field impact is worth what he will get and yes, that opinion implicitly accounts for the forces driving said potential price. You don't seem to have a point here.

You can't consider the Rams picks in a vacuum. Let's say Burns puts up absolutely monster stats lined up next to Aaron Donald, his presence and the front office's demonstrated commitment to go all-in galvanizes the team and they pull off a few wins and challenge the Seahawks for that last wildcard spot. And having lost their 1sts for the next couple years, the rebuild is put on hold and they become big players in free agency, combined with Stafford's resurgence, extending their window for relevancy in an otherwise weak NFC an extra year or two. Maybe nothing remotely close to that materializes but assuming the team will be exactly the same as they are now is similarly improbable.
