Chubba is still under contract? I thought this was his last year last season. Gladly mistaken. You can tell he's not a "take half the plays off" type of player. Even down to blocking. 

And after watching that Mic'd up segment, it wouldn't surprise me if he eventually became a captain. He just needs to keep working on his hands. 

It's the 4th year of his rookie 4 year contract. He was drafted in 2021.

You forgot CMC as well. They said he was injury prone and traded him away. He goes on to be a MVP candidate.

 

What will these people say when we have no stars left. Are we now gonna blame Luvu?

Exactly my point brother, was saving the CMC point as ammo if someone had a rebuttal.

Letting Burns go is not an option! We need to build the defense not tear it down as we are trying to build the offense!!!! We need a complementary end to help and make the pass rush solid

#1- sign him to a reasonable deal 24-26 mill yearly.

#2- Franchise tag him and let him show his worth going forward 

#3- Tag and trade him, he is bare minimum worth what Montez Sweat went for (2nd round) and I’m optimistic with the increased cap space more teams are comfortable paying for a edge threat, driving up his price.

1 - he wants 30 million, we offered 27 he isnt going to take 24-26

2 - this is the absolute worst case scenario as he will be a malcontent and likely just sit out

3 - best case but we pretty much lose all trade leverage so a 2nd and a player might be all we can get

We have so little talent on this team, and have drafted horribly in recent years that we don’t even have that much outside of Derick Brown and maybe Jaycee to really pay big bucks. If we get nothing for Burns then this front office is incompetent, he’s a 25 year old with 46 sacks over the last 5 seasons. You do not let that player walk for nothing.

The people responsible for this situation have already been fired. The mistake was not taking the Rams offer. I would not hold these people accountable if they thought the best way out of this situation is to let Burns walk for nothing. I know that sounds crazy but he is not worth what he is demanding, not even close no matter how his stat sheet looks. We've seen the way he impacts games and it is no where near the price tag he is demanding. Forcing this current regime to tie up a portion of the cap on a player they don't believe in does not sound like a recipe of success to me.

you don't build a good D....by drastically overpaying Burns like he is something he isn't. You could bring in a couple needed and good players for the cost of Burns. 

would you want to make a WR one of the highest paid in all the NFL who basically only had one route in his bag of tricks? I mean, he runs that one great.   and if he wasn't running that one route was basically irrelevant?

I'd rather let him walk than pay him 30 million a year. You can add at at least a couple more quality players for that.

You have to tag and trade him. 

You can't let him walk after turning down 2 1st round picks for him. You have to get something of value back for him.

McCaffrey was sandbagging it here under Rhule.

They can always use the this is a different regime that doesn't believe in him excuse for letting him go. That trade ship sailed and the Panthers weren't on it.

Things I would do:

- Respectfully let go of Burns. Our D was decent even as he had an off season. Haynes, Barno, YGM can fill the gaps.

- Don't waste money on another LT. Open competition between BC and Icky. If BC looks better at LT, he starts at LT.

- Spend whatever I can on a #1 WR! 

There's a whole lot more to do, of course, but I'd start there.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
