Brian Burns: So...

[Bear Hands]

Well he grabbed a sack today.  Final 2023 stats:

32 solo tackles, 8 sacks, 15 TFL, 1 FF

Worst statistical year since his rookie campaign. 

-

Is he a better asset than Montez Sweat? Is he worth $25 million+ per year? $20m? 

How do we navigate his situation? Word was beginning of season discussions were around $27m/yr

[45catfan]

Let him go.  I'd prefer the trade route, but if not, at lest we get a comp pick in 2025 for him.

[bigdog_10_2002]

Franchise tag, ugly holdout, a complete distraction coming for our brand new coach. 
 

just how Fitty drew it up. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

He's trash.  Bum.

[Ted Ginn Jr.'s Hands]

Trade him for what you can get and use the picks on offense.   We need to save cap room for DB and luvu

[Call Me James]

He ain't the problem  Bryce stans.

On a per game average: 2 solo tackles, 1 TFL and 0.5 sack.

Yup, that's totally worth backing up the Brink's truck to BOA over.

If there is any good news, with how terrible he was this season, I'm not sure another team is paying him $30 mill a year. Unfortunately, this probably also means we have no chance of getting a first rounder for him.

Franchise tag him and hope he is terrible next year also so we can get him cheaper long term I guess. If he threatens to sit out like Le'Veon bell did, get into that battle and don't let him win.

[RJK]

He’s painfully avg but overrated by himself and this franchise. Good riddance 

[rayzor]

One of the top 5 mistakes we made last off-season was not trading him for 2 first rounders.

It was money in our hand and we got cocky.

[Randolph Panther]

I would honestly just let him go elsewhere and use the money to get some offensive line help

And then not trading him to Chicago instead of D.J. Two golden opportunities just fumbled away.

[LinvilleGorge]

Tag and trade would be my preference. I'd rather let him walk for a 3rd round comp pick than give him anywhere close to what he wants.

Virtually ever decision we make is in hindsight the worst possible choice available at the time.
