Jones to KC at 31M per year

Madibuke to BAL for 25M per year

Do you think Burns is ready to play ball?

28-29 is the tops he will get.  I would only go that high if there was an out after year two or three.

140M over 5 years with 90M guarantee should get it done.  I'm pretty confident this is all on Burns.  If he can't agree to a contract by Monday I really wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before FA truly begins.

By tomorrow you should see:

  • An extension for Moton (4 years)
  • Terrance Marshall Cut
  • Ian Thomas Cut
  • Bozeman restructure or cut (bring him to a reserve lineman's salary)
  • Shaq extension (2 year cap savings)
  • Dalton traded
  • Vonn Bell restructure or extension (cap savings)
  • Xavier Woods extension (cap savings)
  • Tommy Tremble extension (cap savings plus he is young and cheap)
  • Shy Tuttle base salary restructure
  • Something done with Corbett's cap figure

FA Targets:

  • Damien Lewis (G) Seattle
  • Robert Hunt (G) Miami
  • Dane Jackson (CB) Buffalo
  • Kristian Fulton (CB) Tenn
  • A.J. Epenesa (DE) Buffalo
  • YGM (OLB) CAR
  • Frankie Luvu (LB) CAR
  • Gabe Davis (WR) Buffalo
  • K.J. Osbourne (WR) Minn
  • Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR) DET

Sneaky move:

try to trade for Steven Gilmore's brother out of Detroit for a late round pick.

26 mil a year take it or leave it 

I was here a month ago, I’d go 28 with the cap increase. I just think he’s gonna be hard headed and try to play a card that if a DT is getting 31 he should get at least 30

That’s why you don’t sign Burns.

TJ Watt got 80 guaranteed.  A dude who racks up 22.5, 19, 15, 14 etc sacks seasons and isn’t horrific against the run. 

Crosby got 53, Sweat 62 etc

giving Burns 90-100 million guaranteed is insane given what a very specific specialist he is and isn’t even insane at that. 

Guaranteed is all that matters

I get the premise extension and cap savings, but we aint winning poo any time soon so I would just rather take our hits and get out from under the bulk of those contracts.  Hopefully, there will be a time when it would be helpful to have a bunch of room to make a big time signing that may put us in a playoff type position.  Continuing to pay the players that we arent winning with doenst make sense

Chris Jones got 31 and he's a top 3 defensive player no matter the position then Burns should realistically expect less. If he wants 30 mil he can kick rocks.

 

I'm tired of this Burns talk we need to make a decision and move on.

He isn't worth a long term contract here and trading him for anything is the best outcome. Spend that money elsewhere and take any picks they can get. I wanted to keep Moore but Burns isn't that. Hell I would have rather kept Reddick than Burns.

what was Fitterer doing, besides drugs?

 

I also do not think Burn's market value goes up because the cap did.  The problem with the cap is that it makes only a few players very wealthy.  I would listen to offers, play him on the cap figure.  He will lose 3 million doing that.  If he tanks again and protects his investment, he then has 2 seasons of underperforming--costing him much more $$.  If he plays well, tag him again.  So we have Burns at a deal LOWER than what is proposed here for 2 years.  Throwing money at him is not the solution when we have so many other needs.

I like the Panthers are playing hard ball right now with him. If someone blows us away with a trade take it, otherwise resume negotiations this summer. I think 28-29 million a year is a fair deal for both sides.

      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.
