Anyone see Burns sitting out?

Nobody knows exactly why he isn't practicing, best guess it is contract related. Don't know anything about his agent. Bosa hasn't signed either, but he is at a different level.

Injury concern before the contract is negotiated? Being a hard ass and seeking to much $$$? If he does hold out, who plays?

Don't need these problems a week away from the first game.

He isn't gonna sit out but either way we're about to *overpay* him. He has all the leverage here considering we turned down 2 1sts and a 2nd round pick from the Rams. He's waiting on Nick Bosa to reset the market. I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up getting 26-28m a year.

He’s making 16M this year under the option, which is like top 12 this year.  Like I said in the other thread, players agree to the terms of the CBA, including the 5th year option and franchise tag, then want to pitch a fit when they have to play under either.  Honestly, 16-18M is prob right for Burns anyways.  He’s not top 10.  He’s certainly not top 8.

Pretty sure statistically burns is a top 5 edge rusher in the NFL. There was a Reddit article about this. He gets to the quarterback more than almost every edge rusher in the league (pass rush win rate)  
 

I get you have a sour perspective on this but 32 out 32 NFL team would pay burns. We will pay him.

And he whiffs more than any of those other guys.  Burns simply doesn’t finish most of his opportunities.  Bosa has more sacks and missed basically an entire season.  They aren’t in the same league.

Pay the man!

 

He's literally our pass rush!

 

Tepper can't do poo right. This contract should have been done in the offseason.smh

So you want Fitt to pay Burns 25-30M a season?  Before we even see how he does in a 3-4 scheme?  His numbers don’t even remotely justify him being top 3 in pay at his position

You will be crying for Burns when you see this defense without him. Hell we saw that in the preseason.

 

Burns is our best defensive player. What is with this fanbase and their lack of respect for Burns?

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
