Christ what would a trade for Justin freaking Jefferson look like? Wayyyyyy more than we can afford. Then he’s gonna get the biggest contract in WR history on top of that

The first and easy answer is that they won't trade him.

But for shits and giggles, a realistic trade for him would likely look something like Burns, 2025 1st, 2024 2nd, and maybe even another day 2 pick... and I'm not even sure that would get it done.

As much as they’d like to keep pass rusher Brian Burns long term, sources familiar with team owner David Tepper have told Yahoo Sports that the priority in the organization in the near-term is to use assets to help fortify the future of quarterback Bryce Young. What they’d like to do is acquire a nice young offensive piece to help Young (preferably a skill position player). That is going to come with cost. And that cost is listening to offers on Burns, who will carry a significant $11 million in salary cap load to any team that acquires him, as well as necessitating a contract extension.

I’d put good money on that source being David Tepper himself

haha yea, easy for us to say, but like I also said, not sure that would even get it done anyways.

I think to get it done we'd probably need a second 1st rounder in there, which while it actually might be "fair value" for a player like Jefferson, not sure I could ever justify two 1sts on top of Burns and another mid round pick or two for the honor of paying out the biggest WR contract in NFL history.

We just still have too many holes and would be better served trading Burns elsewhere and using that 2024 1st on a WR on a rookie deal.

@tukafan21 if I made this comment you would be all over me. Keep that same "this ain't Madden" attitude for everyone else not just me.

Oh, you mean like right here where I clearly addressed the Smith suggestion in detail, about why it's both unrealistic right now but there is a small path to it being realistic in the offseason, with real-life reasons as to why that would be the case?

We have one real move. Put Mingo in positions to get targets and reps. Thielen is the guy you paid to get his fair share so ensure that occurs. Otherwise? Let Brown shape how the offense looks and operates and pray to God he tries to copy McVay and that he doesn't try to do some weird hybrid of McVay and Reich philosophy.

We are fuging fools if we trade anything significant for a WR mid-season.

If you want to move Burns, I get that. It's probably inevitable anyway.

We shouldn't be net buyers.

Agreed.

 

This team stinks as is. No one single player is changing our outcome. Just wait and go all in for Tee Higgins in FA.

This would be a desperation move. Then they get a overpriced WR and next is 'if we had OGs blah blah blah'. It also is a great example of how the roster was so poorly constructed since Tepper bought the team. 

Try coaching up the guys you have. If Brown doesn't come in and step up the run game while just doing more of the same then it won't matter whoever they could bring in. Get a cheaper backup OG and just run the ball better and maybe elevate that pass protect game to just sub-average and not turnstiles. Watching Tepper's ownership is like watching a 12 yo play Madden and go for it on every 4th down.

      It’s just seems unlikely that Deion sticks around after Sanders and Trav move on. Also  unlikely he will be able to recruit players of their caliber in the portal because guys like that graduate to the NFL.    That’s said I doubt he goes to the NFL. He probably goes to a larger D1 program.

      lol...my problem is that i don't see you talking about how you tank games.  i thought it's a rather simple question. probably too simple for you being the intellectual giant you appear to be, i don't know. but how do you tank? what is the strategy involved?  explain this to me. i'm listening.

      I feel old

      Was at a local late model race a few years back and saw the last name of a driver whom I remembered a driver with the same last name from back when I was growing up watching race who ran Indy cars and Nascar Cup events. So before the event, I was in the infield pit area and stopped by to see the driver (Eric Darnell) and introduced myself explaining a background I had in motorsports and then asked him if he was from Chicago and when he said he grew up there .........I responded, " You know, I used to watch a Bay Darnell out of Chicago when I was growing up was that your dad by chance?" He paused a bit and put his head down.......and hesitated to which I thought well maybe they aren't related after all.  Then he looked up and smiled back at me and with a laugh replied, "Yup, we are related but he's not my dad........that was my grandfather." Man did I feel old..............
