You cannot keep this secret. You cannot tell me agents and teammates do not talk about this to friends on other teams. Anyone in any FO have already heard what's up through the grapevine. Any team interested already knows what they are willing to pay him and what they are willing to give up to do so. The Panthers have no bargaining power unless they get more than one suitor. You know that no team is giving up that much capital for Brian Burns. No amount of hype can overcome his tape. That's the bottom line.

I would not take any FA signing as long term fix. Every position will eventually be upgraded through the draft. Don't underestimate how lacking in talent this team really is. Unless they get extremely lucky in the draft and through cheap FA's it will be years before this team will be competitive again.

I ask that every year. I still haven't gotten an answer.

Star?

See you guys in 2026 when they hire a new coach and GM to "clean up the mess"....again.

We will see. I'm not confident that they really want to trade him.

That was inevitable the second Fitterer turned down that trade. This team is not getting anything close to 1 first much less 2 and the other team paying him a massive contract. It's not going to happen. They will either overpay him or cut him. That the only 2 options left.

I hope I am too. But everything I'm hearing coming out in the press seems to indicate that the team seriously wants to keep him.

It's not GM speak. They truly think he's something special. This team is FUBAR.

This tells me that nothing has changed with this team. I do not want to hear Dan Morgan mention the word Dawg again. He's full of poo.

Tagging him will be another massive mistake. They will not be able to trade him and receive 2 1sts in return. You guys are dreaming if you think a team is going to give up that much for his worthless ass. We will be stuck with another massively overpaid slacker on this team. He will be the Ian Thomas of the defense.

I'm not buying what any of they are saying until I actually see it happen. Talk is cheap. Results are the only thing that matters.

Still trying to sell Burns as if he's something special. I hope the sucker that falls for that malarkey isn't the Panthers.

Crushed? Now the excuse is its because Tepper replaced to grass as the reason they suck? Or is it that they just suck and this is just another reason to complain?

He has his work cut out for him.

I sure as hell hope he's right. Because the alternative is where we are, and has a best odds of unfolding. Unless Morgan has some magic up his sleeve I'm struggling to find a way that he can build a better offensive group with the little draft capital he has left. If you go by his comments in his presser it appears our remaining cap will go to shore up the defensive side of the team. Canales better be the next Shaun McVay if this team hopes to not finish last in the nfcs again this season.

Did anyone catch Morgan's press conference a few minutes ago?

A year ago my stance was that the team had to pick the right qb no matter which one it turned out to be. It will always be my stance.

They can pay his asking price and all would be forgiven. Which is exactly what I do not want them to do. The 27 million they offered him is ridiculous. I hope that was all Fitterer and now that Morgan is in charge he has rescinded that offer.

The Panthers really only have 2 choices now. Sign him to a long term contract that would be appealing to another team to take off their hands for draft compensation. That's is they are smart enough to pull that off. But my fear is they want to keep him. Which is another issue within itself. Or they let him walk. Which is what other teams are waiting for and most likely Burns himself. This would be my preferred option as well.

I want to know who the Panthers are talking to.

I think he meant Brown, not Burns. It would be just like the Panthers to trade Brown and pay Burns double what he's worth.

How about you sit this one out.

It's not overreacting. It would be a signal of lack of self awareness about the talent on this team. There is not a single reason for optimism with this team until there is clear sign that they have what it takes to turn this failing franchise around. Every major decision that has been made for the past half decade has been wrong. The Ringmaster of those decisions is still calling to tune with the help of his new lacky. Who by the way got to sit in on the intviews of those who were competing with him for his current job. Now he and his old friends from Seattle are hired to build a powerhouse to takeover the NFC for a decade or two. This move would seem counter productive to that goal and just signal more of the same just sling poo at the wall and see what sticks and win now mode. All in an attempt to avoid having build a team through the draft and take their lumps. But they suck at drafting so now you see the predicament they have gotten themselves into. This team is FUBAR. I will need more than what I've seen from the Ringmaster to think this team has a single chance in hell of improving this season.
