One of the most clown moments in franchise history given the current updates
March 4, 2024
We really gave up DJ Moore, rejected multiple solid trade offers for Burns, and are now going to probably not get anything near what we were offered earlier haha.

In a vacuum, I can understand that reasoning. But when you are bringing in a new rookie QB, that HAS to be a part of the calculus. He needed someone to throw to, and we shipped him to Chicago.
It’s 9am and my monday is already ruined
Pretty sure they also expected Burns to continue to grow. They couldn’t have predicted his stagnation last year.
Of all the of the bad moves Fitt made, this one takes the cake. Now we’re stuck with a disgruntled defensive end and no one to throw to. Oh yeah, and all the potential WR1s are getting tagged or want to go to competitors. Not so easy to replace a WR I guess.
I mean in a bubble, I still agree with the logic. However, to do all talk about investing in Burns and then not come to an agreement with him despite being able to trade him for the BY pick or the 2 firsts or the plethora of other trade options is a big 🤡 moment. Not to mention the WR core Fitt picked up to replaced DJ…
Even funnier is that we could have still maybe gotten a 1st back from the bears before the trade deadline. Again, all hindsight, but this whole situation is a horrid use of trade capital over.
Who cares? DJ Moore is the worst of those 3 players. I don’t understand why yall spend so much picking scabs and making yourself mad. It’s in the past, move on
Y’all are really hilarious with the revisionist history. Cause at the time it was understood that burns was the best player on the roster and it would be harder to replace a burns caliber player as an edge rusher rather than dj Moore caliber player as a WR.
The problem isn’t that we traded Moore instead of burns , the clown move is not resigning him to a deal after we passed on compensation to trade him for.
I don’t disagree with anything he said there because it was true at the time
