Yup, and if Seattle doesn’t, better hope the Rams don’t…

Rams been rumored to be in the market for Brian Burns for a year now…

Or, Seattle, can add some defensive pieces from the Commanders…

Jonathan Allen, Chase Young, perhaps??
I know we just paid DK and he's niched up, but if the panthers ask for DK, so be it. I would offer some of our draft capital in exchange for Burns. Burns is a very special player and would make our Defense elite status.

This right here!

I actually wanted Brian Burns when he got drafted.

Burns is as good as you can get for trading DK!

IMO, our starting receivers are good. We don't need all of them. BoBo, JSN, Lockett, I'm good with that. One of them has to go, and if I have to choose then it's DK. BoBo and JSN looked good yesterday so I'm confident we will still shine without DK.

Even if the Seahawks had the cap space to pay Burns's remaining salary this season, which they don't, they would be taking on $11.5M of dead money this year and another $23M of dead money on next year's cap to let Metcalf play cheap for the Panthers, and all so the Seahawks could get a half-season rental of a reasonably good OLB, at a rental price of $16,012,000/18 per week, or $889,555 per week (that'd be over $9M if Burns were to come to the Seahawks next week).
So even if the cap space were there, would a half-season of Burns be worth close to $45M of cap space (split between two years) and letting Metcalf go and play really cheap for somebody else for a season and a half and be available for a reasonable price for the final season of his contract in 2025?

Give Levi Bell a chance?

Can Seattle redo burns contract for this year and give him a new deal next year after the season is over?

DK doesn’t even have DK's upside!

Lol…am I wrong???

6’ 4” 234 lbs and runs 4.33?!!

DK should be dominating every game but he doesn’t.
That, my friends, has been DK's pain and stress post high school. He tried, tried hard, real hard, but somehow something has been preventing him to convert his physical gift into football results.

Frank Clark seems to make good sense here. Let Hall and Mafe play mostly run downs then mix Taylor and Clark in on obvious pass downs.

NO he does not, Frank Clark is f'n terrible and doesn't fit this scheme, I would rather see what Levi Bell has, I think he really shined in the preseason, I say give him a shot

When will the Bears, Giants and Panthers start selling off guys? Chargers would probably be open to trading a 1 and a OLB for DK.
