Burns looks like a bust and that’s with Lawrence and Thibedaux he still can’t put up monster numbers

Kudos to Morgan? I’d give him kudos if he didn’t agree with Fitterer to not trade him to the Rams. He made lemonade from the lemon, but we were offered filet mignon.

Nah the best deal would have been getting a haul of picks from the rams

We don’t know what transpired there. That wasn’t Dan’s final call to make

Yup, unfortunately we usually are a day late and a dollar shot in these scenarios.  Sometimes we can get a deal done later on, but peak value has already diminished.

Burns is and always has been a one trick pony.  He's a speed rush guy.  That's his game and never developed it beyond that.

Sorry, but it’s been reported by Person that Dan was in agreement of passing on the trade. Souleman was the only dissenting voice, likely because no soon to be $30M non-QB ever gets that much. Even the awful GM Bill O’Brien paid less for Tunsil than what we turned down for Burns because the Texans got two picks back.

If Dan and Souleman both disagreed, they might have turned Fitterer.

Wait we are looking to Joe Person as the gospel now?

It's Atkins/Keto approved, tho.

To me, yeah we should have taken the big offer but people act like that was right before we gave him to the NYG. It was a year and a half earlier wasn't it? They wanted him but then he played his leverage game.

We did the right thing for sure in moving him and saving the salary he'd cost. 

Also, I think he just bought himself journeyman status because they will cut him as soon as they can he has no history there and they have a new regime coming too. So it looks bleak for Mr Burns in NYC, he should have made us a good deal and stayed where he was valued.

Giants GM having a rough go at it.  His kid schooled him on what QB should get sought after in the draft and he basically laughed him off (Daniels in Washington).  Sold his owner no one would pay Barkley and certainly the Eagles wouldn’t.
