At this point I'm over the debate. Either pay him what he wants or trade him. He's not going to take less and if we're not willing to pay his asking price then we can't afford to let him walk without getting something in return.

It bothers me so much that the staff knew if they turned down the Rams picks they viewed Burns as a centerpiece. Yet they don't want to pay him that way, and now we're going to get much less than those picks smh.

Does Gary play the run really well or something? That’s like 5 sacks per season. Why the hell give a guy $27m/yr for 5 sacks per season? Legit question I’m not familiar with Gary’s game.

Rams are now 3-5, top 10 pick and stafford may have broken his thumb.

If only anyone could have predicted the Rams would be in bad shape and those picks could be really good...

This is why you should have traded him instead of your 2 best offensive players who you ALREADY PAID. we would have had basically no dead money trading burns for more then we got for dj and cmc while also carrying a ton of dead money for them.  Front office dumb ass fug

You could run this team better

Gary has been really good the last three years, took him a while to get going.

9.5 Sachs in 2021, played 9 games in 2022 and got 6 sacks. 4.5 sacks so far this year in 7 games. And very good against the run

[joemac]

If we were planning on keeping BB, we should have done it at least a year ago.  I cannot justify paying a player like Burns 30 fuging million dollars a year.  Thats absurd.  But thats what its gonna be...

If the franchise tag is an average of the top 5, wouldn't that make his number around 25 million?  I think we are using the tag unless he signs.

“Very good” against the run is a reach.

he’s good.  But not 27 mil per for run defense good.

And he’s a Edge Rusher who has never hit double digit sacks.

Burns isn’t worth 30 M, but that’s what he has coming (from someone).

Looks like the projected exclusive tag number for DE is going to be just north of $21m. Could definitely see the Panthers tagging Burns and making him play on the tag. 2 straight years of tags would probably be something like ~$44m guaranteed. That's probably the basis of a contract extension.

My sentiments exactly. Those Rams picks are likely top 10 picks and I think we could have used the 1sts in that trade to get Young while keeping our own and not needing to throw in Moore and CMC’s 2nd. Rams didn’t have all their young guys looking hood with Kupp out, Ramsey, Floyd and Woods gone so 9 and  Rams 2024/2025 1st and our 2023 2nd was enough.

Considering how little we got in return for CMC and Moore, keeping them would have been best. Then you use pick 36 from the Rams to trade up a few spots for La Porta or Kincaid. 36 and 61 is more than pick 21 and Buffalo got Kincaid at 27. Imagine Young having CMC, Moore, Thielen, La Porta/Kincaid and we have our 2024 and 2025 1sts and 2nds. Oh, we’d also have $30M a year for 2 stud FA starters.

As said above and what I’ve said before, if we weren’t going to immediately extend Burns before prices went through the roof to where we can’t seem to agree then you make the fuging game changing trade.

These comments are hilarious!

 

Im going to be the happiest person on the huddle when Burns gets paid. The fact that he played injured tells me a deal has to be close. No way you play a injured Burns if you plan on trading him.
