Brian Burns to the Giants

Let’s be honest, he was gonna walk in free agency. We tagged him to keep that from happening, what we basically did wasn’t trade him away, it was get compensation for a player who was going to leave anyway. Smart choice. Sure, we didn’t get a first rounder, that sucks, but it’s better than letting him walk overall and getting nothing at all. He wouldn’t have signed the tag. All reports stated he wanted top 5 pay, but he just wasn’t that here. Yeah, we have a massive pass rusher hole to fill now, but we had that anyway.
