Why did Burns vanish for this game?

Shop him if you must but we are not going to get that level of value again if teams know we are desperate.

I’m past the same value, id be fine with a 1st rounder and a pair of crocs.

He looked to have a leg injury...

One of the biggest mistakes in franchise history was turning down that trade. Would have been great for getting Bryce actual NFL level weapons. 
 

Burns is a great guy, but he is not worth what we were offered and he doesn’t deserve 30 million to disappear every other game. 

It’s amazing what we could have done. With pick 36 (and a little trade up) we could have had LaPorta or Musgrave as a future athletic pass catching TE with some blocking ability. Then we have two more firsts which we probably could have used in the Young trade. Bears would have rather had the Rams picks and maybe we don’t have to deal DJ. We already traded CMC but damn, we could have easily kept him if we were thinking trade Burns was too priority. Those three draft picks (Rams or saving our own) should bet us a TE, solid WR and solid OL to help out Young and you still have $30M a year to sign a couple FAs to help out on D.

It was a no brainer and I liked Burns from before we drafted him. It’s a matter of him not being at the Bosa level where you don’t take that haul. We clearly have too many gaping holes on offense to not make that trade if we wanted to go all in on a QB this past draft.
