Am I missing something here as I thought we were already negotiating with him?

this means we made an official offer and reported it to the league and/or NFLPA.

Panthers have got to get this done asap before that Bosa deal is finalized.  Also, if they front load the contract it tells us they are comfortable at OLB. Otherwise they could be waiting to get this done before offering Ngakoue, Clowney, Houston.

Love Burns but we really should’ve taken the Rams offer if it really was 2 1st rounders.

If you take less than the equivalent of 4 first round picks you're a moron. Thats how much a top 10 edge rusher is worth because the hit rate is 25% in the first round...

Yes lets trade a premier edge rusher while we are searching for another edge rusher opposite of him so that now we have to find 2 edge rushers with no guarantee of getting the same value in return.

Expecting 4 first round picks is insanity

Expecting to hit on another edge rusher better than burns with two picks is idiotic.

The best part would be the bewildered complaints and nonsensical crying about why we don't have any pass rush.

I agree with what you are saying, but the counter would be the cost to retain him and where that money could be allocated to offset the loss of a player like Burns. For example would Ngakoue at a fraction of his cost (who still is a solid pass rusher) plus the Rams picks plus the money saved more than offset the loss of Burns or not. It’s debatable and our staff didn’t think it would offset his loss.

He's best on the team, but is he "best in the league" money, though?

I wish his stats said he was. 

Don't get me wrong, I love that he's on our team, but he's not been the "takeover a game" kind of player he needs to be to trying to reset the market. I don't want to see us overpay for potential. Again.
