Training camp opens next week and Burns is still unsigned

Rookie salaries are based on formula that uses the rookie compensation pool and draft position. I can't find anything that mentions position as a factor.  This is almost always about guaranteed money distribution.

I’m just wondering would it be bonus monies or escalators that have to be agreed upon because all the defensive players are easily candidates for DROTY. I can see it being hard to agree with Getts in NY but that long snapper and Deebo leaves me confused.

There are a few EDGE/LBs unsigned.  Not sure if its related.  As in, one signs to get specific contract language, then the rest follow suit.  Nick Bosa (DE), Quinnen Williams (DT), Devin White (LB), Burns are all left.

 

Should be noted I don't believe the Panthers have ever had a hold out.  I believe it will get done.  Newton signed his the day before training camp.

Position features heavily in franchise tag calculations and a top -level player might really want to keep that in mind, especially when it comes to the designation of LB vs DE, as the DE position generally charts out at a couple of million bucks more for a franchise tag payday.

I believe most of the unsigned picks have the same agency.  Burns should be signed, hes in no names lands with picks in front and behind signed. The top 6 is where the big issues are, starting in 2011 the scale was set. Now the agents have fought to change that. The top ten is also way different than being drafting 11-32.

With the rookie salary scale now, position really doesn't matter. You're paid based on your draft slot, not your position. About the only major thing up to negotiation is offset language which IMO is bullshit and something the players should be pushing to ban in the next CBA.

It sure as hell matters when that rookie deal is up.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
