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.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
