RIP Fugu
Didn't the Panther turn down some 1st's for him last year? And also didn't want to put him in trade with Bears?

Perhaps the Bears insisted on Moore to give Fields a WR. No idea. I mean, if you are Carolina, you really should have sent Burns if you could over Moore given that you were drafting Young. WR will help him more than a DE that you had not yet signed after his 4 year rookie contract.
Puzzling.....
Bears have since dealt a high 2nd for a DE in Sweat.

What is with these GM’s turning down massive hauls in comparison to what they actually get months later.
Like they must have known by the trade deadline that OK, we ain’t re-signing this cat.

Well, that offer was at the 2022 TDL from all accounts. And the Rams 1st rounders would be 2024 and 2025 as their 2023 belonged to the Rams.
So, GM of Carolina would be waiting for them and ultimately, if he did pull the trigger, those picks now will be used by another GM.

But, Burns had completed his 4 year rookie contract with no extension. If he's that valuable, you get the player signed vs just ride out the 5th year option.
I agree that DE as positional value is more vital than WR, but not if you are not getting that player signed. Either he's worth the money of a top DE or you decide to move on after 4 years. Plenty of time to decide if he's part of your core or not.
No doubt but for the bears Wr has been a franchise wasteland. Not even getting into qb’s.

Most likely it is the one Seattle sent them for Williams. Likely the 16th pick in Rd 2, thus like around 48 not #38.

pretty much swapped Williams out for Burns. DT for DE. Looks like exactly what Seattle sent to NYG for Williams.

No kidding, I think their all time leading receiver has somewhere between 5000-5500 yards. In 100 years of history.
