What is Burns worth?

[Towelboy]

If you could get our pick back from Chicago, would you send Burns and our 2nd rounder next year?

you know what this team could really use right now?

 

the star players it’s already traded away

I know you have to evaluate every move on its own, but if that happened, the sequence of events you're describing would essentially mean we turned CMC, DJ Moore, Brian Burns, and 3 2nd round picks (23 SF, 24 CAR, 25 CAR) into Bryce Young and DJ Johnson.

I’d personally keep Burns, but if our brain trust trades him away, what is he worth?

Will Chicago atleast pay for our Uber back home?

Yep, par for the course with Fleeced Fitterer.

18m a year or so. He’s not Crosby, Bosa, Garrett, etc. 

5 years, 100 million with 70 guaranteed is fair. That’s around 20 per year.

Would you trade Burns for a high 2nd rounder? Because if the Bears got their poo together and that ends up being a pick in the mid-late teens and we continue to suck ass. You could end up trading a very good young pass rusher plus a likely high 2nd round pick to a mid-round 1st. Net result would be the equivalent of trading Burns for a high 2nd round pick.

So yeah, hell no.

I absolutely agree, but you know Fitts phone is about to blow up over the next 6 weeks.

If they keep him, I expect they will overpay in the $30 million range.

He wants Bosa money and he doesn’t deserve it but the Panthers have cornered themselves. 

I would’ve traded Brown instead of Moore. Now we may have to trade Burns for a legit WR. That’s a trade I’d make for the sake of our QB’s development.

If fitt is trading it'll be a 3rd round pick and it'll be after we sign him to a huge deal so we have to eat the cap hit

Don't overlook the cap space that trading CMC created.  It was a big deal and allowed us to build this defense.
