Anyone see Burns sitting out?

[TheCasillas]

Random contribution to this thread …. Just ran into YGM at Ever Andalo (Italian spot in NODA)…  chatted with him about the season and he was rather talkative so i showed him this thread to be playful…. 
 

@Smithers he made this face reading your OP :

I love Burns.  I want Burns to sign for the next 10 years.  We are better with him.  I never once said I didn’t like him or that he didn’t make us better.  What I did say, is that he isn’t a top 8 player at his position.  And that’s a fact.  I can like a player and acknowledge he isn’t the best player in the world at his position at the same time.

Hasn't Burns pretty much stated that he won't hold out?

Then why is he sitting out team practices a week before the opener. Wonder if his agent got in his ear. Money can influence many things, especially if negotiations aren't going well.

Just to show you the character Burns has he's playing even while in contract negotiations.

 

If that isn't a team first guy I don't know what is.

 

We should pay him on that alone. He's risking injury while in negotiations. Burns is my favorite player on the team. Please Tepper pay the man!

Saving his body for the regular season. Nobody cares about preseason. He's here come Sunday.

He won’t sit out but won’t sign an extension until Bosa does.

He had the runs

Considering Bosa has 5 more sacks despite missing an entire season, I can see where there may be a difference in value. Especially if Burns wants what Bosa gets. 
 

Burns is not Bosa.

Burns doesn’t necessarily want what Bosa gets but it still makes sense for him to see what Bosa gets so he can get fair value comparatively.

He will play or I doubt he would have went through camp and preseason

He’s under contract. Where’s my pat on the back when I turn up to work while while our next EBA is getting negotiated

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.  

But no one is in the same league as Bosa aside from maybe Watt. Burns is still an amazing and elite edge rusher. But love to see you speaking like a true huddle member “Burns isn’t good enough.”
