Burns doesn’t think he teams top priority. Also thinks he should be paid among top edge rushers

The one thing that was done right after the huge dropped ball of not trading this guy was not signing him to some huge contract. Earned it before the season? GTFOH. You had every opportunity to go get your fat paycheck and put up your worse season since being drafted.

I wouldn't bother trying to tag and trade him unless had already worked out a deal with another team and he was aware of what was going down . You may not find a buyer. If we don't want to pay him $30 mil per year, why would we expect someone else to after an 8 sack season? Then we could be stuck with him on a big 1 year deal and go an entire season with him "playing scared" again. Or, Burns could decide to hold out over the tag issue and create a messy preseason distraction.

Id be ok just let him walk. We might be able to get a 3rd round comp pick for him in 2025.

1) he should be the team's top priority...finding a trade partner that will give us at least one 1st rounder.

2) if it will help sell him, then yes...i'll call him a top edge rusher in the league and i'll keep a straight face doing it. i'm that good.

Bingo. His deal was more on potential/youth than anything else. 

 

I went to FSU, so I'm a burns fan, but we need to just tag and trade him and be done with this. 

I love Brian Burns but he would be amazing if we have a Julius Peppers opposite him. 
He just isn’t the main event.

I like Brian on a personal level I've defended him over the months here and Scott Fitterer was a bumbling buffoon. But it's best for him to move on. We need to pay our real leader on defense Derrick Brown whatever he wants and keep it pushing. Too many other needs.

      The thing I like most about Walker is his character--he is dripping with leadership and class.  I used to sit in a coaches office when I taught at Walker's high school before Jalon was born---and talk to his dad and the other Catawba College coaches. They showed me film and talked x and o stuff.  I barely remember it, but I liked Bennett, and when Coastal Carolina started their program, he took Jalon's dad with him.  So I have many reasons to want Walker on the team and I know he has a football background better than most.  I think Jalon's father returned to Salisbury to coach Catawba later, when Jalon was born.  I have heard (from former colleagues) that he is a "great kid."   That means a lot. Having said that, there is a concern that he could bust because he was not always working on his pass rushing moves, etc.  Looking great in college is one thing; as I have said before, people playing 1 role all the time look great in college film, but half of the first rounders bust.  So I have to think of his as a bit more raw than a guy who gets DE/edge reps 24-7.  This does not mean he can't do it; it means I worry that he does not have the depth of training he needs to transition well to the NFL.  He has to be developmental to a degree--so that is where I am coming from-your points are valid, based on selected known quantities, but we obviously are dealing with some unknown variables that should be considered objectively.  That is where I am.

      I feel you... our scheme is safety specific but I only hate that Evero is involved. I don't mind the talent but  Evero shouldn't have much say in the decision.
