I don’t follow. Did they trade their best D player for a 2025 1st rounder?

So you don’t want a pass rush until 2026?

What’s the end game here? He holds out a few games until finally caving? If he holds out all year, he loses $16 mill and his 5th year contract just starts over next year. Maybe we get a second shot at trading him? I think he knows he has to play eventually so he will play on Sunday.

No one yet. They were 24 and 25 picks.

If that’s true, then Burns needs to test the open market.

I’d love to know what the hold up really is. Does he want 30/yr or does he just want a ton of guaranteed money? I don’t want a guy who’s contract will make this team less competitive for the next 4-5 years. If the gap is small, Fitt just needs to bite the bullet.

Sounds like Burns isn’t practicing today. Frank says he won’t know what’s going to happen until Sunday.

https://x.com/josephperson/status/1699451925308088806?s=46&t=PAlPPrb2M4qWK4VOOYlH4A Panthers captains: Shaq Thompson, Brian Burns, Johnny Hekker, Bryce Young, Adam Thielen, Taylor Moton.

I don’t know if they gave him false hope. They liked him but wanted to see who else was out there. I think that was made clear. Regardless, Wilks with Holcomb and whoever else at OC was not the best plan for developing a rookie QB. Frank came in with specific names of coordinators he’d bring in (according to Fitt) which ultimately is what won him the job.

I demand Devonte Adams and Max Crosby.

It doesn’t mean any of that. It just means we didn’t want to trade away our best and only pass rusher in the middle of the season. He still has the option to test the open market. Also, future picks are valued less than picks for the current year. In terms of value, they really offered two 2nds and a 3rd.

Neither Fitt nor Frank have until 2026 to see if those picks pan out.

Drives me nuts some don’t understand this. Fitt would almost be guaranteeing a losing season this year. Also, just because a trade offer is declined, it doesn’t mean it’s a signal that player gets whatever they want. It just means the org doesn’t want to make the trade and wants a shot a working a longer deal. Both sides still need to be reasonable.

Sounds like Bosa is going to sit out week 1 as well.

I’m pretty sure that’s what we have on the practice fields. I know it’s a hybrid turf of some kind.

The trade was for 24 and 25 first rounders. That means we would have zero pass rush until those replacements are drafted and have a season or two under their belt. That’s a long time to wait for that payoff. Picks always look great until the picks turn into players.

Frank is having his presser now. Says Burns sat out again today and confirms it’s contract related. Says he hopes Burns is there for the game but may not be.

Predictions are almost always either 7-10 or 10-7.

It was 6 first round picks.

Not a huge deal. None of the receivers in that breakdown are still with the team. Edit: With the exception of Tremble and Zavala, none of the players in that entire video are still with the team. Feels like Im not even watching the panthers.

Forbes said they arrived at those numbers by looking at how much each franchise earns in revenue and profit before taxes. It did not factor in real estate holdings.

The master of scale is Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, a team now worth $9 billion, more than any other in sports. The Cowboys generated $1.14 billion in revenue last season as well as operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $500 million—56% and 133%, respectively, more than any other football team. And if other teams want to learn some of the 80-year-old Jones’ secrets—after all, he bought the team for a modest $150 million in 1989—the Cowboys’ owner is getting his own Netflix docuseries. Beyond the Cowboys’ increase, there were four teams that rose at least 20% in value, each as a result of stadium economics. The Tennessee Titans, up 26%, to $4.4 billion, will receive $1.26 billion of public financing for a $2.1 billion stadium that is expected to open in 2027. The Titans will run the stadium, which, given Nashville’s vibrant economy, is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue for the team. The Las Vegas Raiders also have a relatively new stadium in the hottest market in sports. The team pulled in over $90 million in ticket revenue last season, tops in the NFL. And with a vast lineup of non-NFL events, including concerts and soccer games, the Raiders raked in another $70 million-plus, also a league high. All told, the Raiders are worth $6.2 billion, 22% more than a year ago. The Miami Dolphins increased an impressive 24% in value, to $5.7 billion this year. The team has leveraged its ownership of Hard Rock Stadium to bring concerts, tennis, college football and Formula 1 to Magic City. The team’s revenue from advertising and sponsorships has nearly doubled the past five years, to close to $60 million, while premium seating revenue (luxury suites and club seats) is up over one-third, to more than $45 million. Cleveland, meanwhile, isn’t exactly enjoying a booming economy, but the Browns have been pushing ticket price increases and adding sponsors. By Forbes’ count, the team’s ticket revenue has doubled over the past five years, to over $78 million, and stadium advertising and sponsorship revenue has climbed nearly 70%, to some $50 million. A new retail deal with Fanatics should also be a boon to merchandise revenue, especially if quarterback Deshaun Watson can live up to his recently restructured contract.

It was mostly an effort to humanize Goodell so he looks good. Zero new panthers footage. Pretty sure they got all their panthers footage from the team.

Remember when we used to complain about not having back to back winning seasons?

Oh, interesting. I thought they just didn’t get paid for those games.
