Guess who ended up on today's injury report...right before the trade deadline.

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Just trade him already. So tired of the drama around this dude.

He's checked out anyways. The entire situation has been laughably mishandled by both parties. We need a leader on defense though. Clearly that is not going to be Brian.

The guy is VASTLY overrated on this board.

 

good riddance, please get good draft capital for the incoming GM/Coach

I’ve always thought he sucked ass 90% of the time. Dude is WAYYYYY overrated. 

[Riverboat Ron]

They’ll trade him and Chinn to the Eagles for a 2nd.

Burns isn't Bosa and shouldn't be asking for that kind of money.  Here, this is a quick table comparing the two.  The line labeled Bosa (ex) is extrapolating the numbers Bosa should have when he catches up in snaps to Burns.  Burns has most of a season on Bosa due to Bosa's injury in 2020 costing him nearly the entire year.

Their tackle numbers look really similar, but in terms of Pressure, TFL's, Sacks . . . . Bosa is just a much, much better player.  It's what people on the Huddle here keep trying to say. 

Yes, Burns plays and does things, but Bosa impacts games.  All of the impact stats are HEAVILY in his favor.  Burns doesn't make the plays that alter the games.

Burns is REALLY GOOD.  I'm not arguing that.  I'm simply pointing out that he isn't in the same stratosphere as Bosa, and shouldn't be looking for that kind of money. 

It seems that the smartest thing we could have done last spring is included Burns in the deal with Chicago.  We'd have still had a good WR in DJ, we wouldn't have his dead cap and we wouldn't have the headache of Burns right now.

lol.  We had a bye last week. 

[OneBadCat]

Send him packing already. He isn’t a top 5 DE.

These guys took a real chin checking this year. They really thought they were right on the cusp of getting over the hump.

They always think that. And they’re always wrong.

Cause he DESERVED an extension! Bosa won't play until he got his extension and they made him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Fitter would NOT even offer him a reasonable but fair extension which is Burns deserves.

Problem is Burns didn't want a reasonable extension. He wants Bosa money and this season has proven he isn’t worth it.

If Burns was pared up with a Bosa like talent he would be dominant. He just shouldn’t be the primary player you build your line around.

Its the old save face game....Marty perfected it....

Yep if we were 4-2 or even 3-3 I guarantee the injury report wouldn’t include some players. 

[thennek]

That he was not given a new contract already could actually be good news in that the Panthers do not think he is worth Bosa money either…at least I hope that is why he did not get a new contact.

This thread is highly entertaining.  Did not disappoint.

Unlike Bosa WHO IS the guy you build your line around.  Thanks for making my point.
