A Brian Burns saga

The more cynical I get I say let him walk.  I like burns, but he’s only had ONE season with double digit sacks. ONE.  UNO, that’s it.  That’s not top 5 performance, not Top 5 money. Not top 5 anything. 

Let him walk, take it on the chin.  Use the cap money to spend elsewhere.

I understand the sentiment.  And, I agree. COMPLETELY....

However, I don't think we need to let him walk. He's a commodity with value.  Let Morgan and Tillis work the situation. I think there will be several teams willing to work with the "TAG" and we recoup most (if not all) of the salary for this year as well as a couple of draft picks and maybe a player as well.  If we end up keeping him, it will be at the "TAG" value NOT Burns' ego-driven value.

Frankly, like you, I am pretty much done with Burns. I'm ambivalent about "how" it happens as long as we get positive value out of the situation.
