On mobile so sorry for tweet not working  

Burns is gonna bend us over. $30M is looking cheap

For reference… drafted within a few picks of each other. 
Sweat: 35.5 Sacks, 197 tackles

Burns: 42 Sacks, 214 tackles

Looking more and more like a franchise tag showdown is looming... and that Scott Fitterer fugs up everything.

I have no faith in him figuring out a way to keep Burns,Brown, and Luvu this coming offseason. Even Luvu alone he'll manage to fug up, I suppose Brown could get the 5th year option

Sweat is better against the run then Burns.

Think that is around 24M for us, question is how bad would that piss off Burns and would he hold out?

Brown’s 5th year option has already been picked up. 

But yeah, Burns will get the tag and Luvu will be the wildcard

Fitt fuged up in a major major catastrophic way.  No two ways about it. 

[ChuckWag78]

In the grand scheme of things Luvu will be cheap compared to those two. 

 

Keeping the faith this all gets worked out. Glad Sweat's deal isn't for more.

Yeah but the good GM's still get the deal done sooner rather than later instead of gambling on a tag or option year to low ball franchise players. Like is he hoping Burns has a bad year so he can pay him less? I don't really like that mentality

Yeah Burns was like 60th out of 84 edge defenders against the run this year. Sweat was third out of 84. So Burns gets more sacks but Sweat hasn’t been a liability in the run game. 
 

Bears also resigned Billings on their dline to a cheap two year extension and he’s been a top ten DT per PFF this season. Now if they lock up Jaylon Johnson they may have a defense that’s starting to cook and turn things around. Bears got killed for letting Roquon Smith leave and then they signed Edmunds to a deal and they have similar tackles and sacks this year. 
 

But yeah. Burns is going to get 30+ mil. 

[pantherclaw]

I have complete confidence that the Burbs deal will get done.  As far as his pr8ce, it'll be fair market value whether anybody else cares to admit it or not.
