Let’s use some critical thinking here chief 

Yeah, kind of like you use when UNC players are involved.

Not straight-up homie. Read dude.

Tee Higgins is a #1 on like 28/32 NFL teams.

Point blank period.

Trade for Burns and additional compensation? 

I would LOVE to get this guy on our roster. 

God no.  If we did that as the roster stands we might get about 10 sacks all season.

I did read. It's not going to happen. You don't turn down two first round picks and then trade him for Higgins and "additional compensation." 

Higgins may bring them a second round pick if they are lucky

We could have traded Burns to Chi and kept Moore, who was already under a bargain long term contract.  But nope - now we gotta trade Burns for a WR who we will pay 25M per year.  Fitt is legit on the hot seat now.

 

Hindsight is 20/20, but even in hindsight. fug no. I think we felt we’d get the Burns deal done. He’s forgetting he’s never had over 12.5 sacks in a season and he’s a complete liability in the run game. Still he’s more valuable that a WR who isnt a difference maker.

I agree.  I’m one of the ones in the “he’s not worth 25M+” camp - but man I would have assumed the team had a pretty good idea of what Burns would demand before pulling the trigger on such a trade.

Probably depends on how their season goes if they trade him. Right now, they need him.

Which is the obvious choice to keep.

Teams build around QB, LT, and edge. Not decent receivers

Teams are dumping more money into high end WRs and DBs than OTs.

I mean, if you allow OTs to flat out cheat like that KC RT last night then it alleviates the need for top talent.

[chknwing]

can he play pass rusher?

I feel like Higgins is bound to be overpaid. He's a good player but I'm not completely sold on him as a true #1 WR when he has Chase on the other side.
