Burns had 53 qb pressures compared to Highsmith with 32. 20 less.

Chubb is getting 22m a year and Burns is gonna get more than that. He's gonna be closer to Garret and Bosa than to Chubb. No other way about it.

Blame chubb for getting 22m from Miami.

Like I said earlier this off-season, it's going to take at least 27m a season to sign him long term. Once Nick Bosa signs that number is gonna go up to 29-30m because Bosa wants 34-35m a season.

I stated stats earlier to support paying burns. Even if you use last season. Highsmith had more sacks and ff but burns had more qb pressures, more qb hurries, the same amount of tackles, and more tfl. Burns was top ten in sacks, tackles, tackles for loss, top 5 in qb hurries and qb pressures last season among edge defenders.

Because when he was traded, the Panthers still owed him guaranteed money. It was after July 1st, so part hit last year and the rest hits this year.

Two different conversations that started at different times. Highsmith has one year of high production and thats why the Steelers got a steal on his deal.

Oh to add for someone who said that Burns hasn't said anything publicly... he did back in June. He has publicly stated that he expects to be one of the highest paid edge rushers in the NFL. So yea, Myles Garret, Nick Bosa money is what he wants. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37848340/panthers-brian-burns-wants-highest-paid-edge-rushers

No it isn't cherry picking, I simply posted his stats from the most recent season. Which is a better indicator of his future production compared to a 7.5 sack rookie season where he played 43% of snaps. Last season he played 87% of snaps.

Nope picked a random number, coulda made it 6 and it woulda been 4 in 4 vs 2 in 3. Doesn't matter. Lol Burns also effects the qb way more with pressures and hurries.

Not top top ten in run stop win rate, run stuffs. Has nothing to do with win rate. Burns gets a lot of TFL which translates to run stuffs. Runs stop at 0 yards gained or less.

Didn't say that was for all 4 years. That was last season stats. He was behind Parsons, Garrett and Bosa in QB pressures and hurries last season. Just those 3 and 8th in sacks. In 2021 he had 48 hurries and 37 pressures with 9 sacks.

Which ones?

1 year of production (7+ sacks) over 3 years as a pro vs 4 years in 4 years , Highsmith is an older player, has way less pressures and qb hits since being drafted compared to Burns in the same time period.

8th in sacks, 3rd in pressures, top 10 in run stuffs. Top ten in tackles among edge players. Moving to a position that fits his build and play style even more...

Yes?

Wouldn't be the first time I've gotten contracts exactly right on the dot but hey... you do you.

He's wanting Aaron Donald money. 5 years 150m with 80m guaranteed at signing with full guarantees hitting close to max value.

He was under the impression that they would iron out a deal by the start of the season and it wouldn't be a problem

If he gets what's he's asking for, he isn't just getting elite DE money, he's getting elite defensive player money. Only players with bigger contracts would be Aaron Donald and soon Nick Bosa. 30m a season and it's why they aren't close on a deal. Ran through camp thinking he would get what he's asking for or close and is finding out that it isn't close and holding out and probably won't be on the field against Atlanta with out a new deal.

I've seen that he's asking for 30m and that's why he's waiting on Bosa's new deal. Bosa is gonna get around 34-36m a season. So Burns would be the 2nd or 3rd highest paid defensive player in the NFL if he gets what he's asking for.

Rucker said in the post game that SC tackles had tells, so they knew when they were going to pass or run.

5 years 143m, 85m guaranteed Bosa gonna get 5 years 150m with 90m guaranteed.

It also shows that icky was one if the worst tackles in the NFL penalty wise. That said 11 but pff had him at 13 penalties with 6 sacks allowed.

Pretty sure they know what burns agent wants to get. He's going to get it and it's going to hurt some people in this thread.
