Defensive end Brian Burns has become an impact player for the Panthers, which makes him someone the club wants to keep around.

To that end, General Manager Scott Fitterer said at his Friday press conference that Carolina plans to exercise Burns’ fifth-year option.

Burns was the 16th overall pick of the 2019 draft. In 17 games last season, he recorded 9.0 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 19 quarterback hits, and a pair of forced fumbles. He was named to his first Pro Bowl.

“He’s a guy that’s come out and produced for us,” Fitterer said. “I really like the leader he’s becoming and the man he is. So he would be one of those guys that we’ll definitely try to work on.”

In 48 career games with 35 starts, Burns has 25.5 sacks, 26 TFLs, and 55 QB hits. He’s also recorded eight passes defensed and six forced fumbles.

Doesn't bother me. I think he is doing okay. Could be doing better but I think he is still developing and hasn't reached his ceiling yet. I think it's definitely worth picking up this fifth year and seeing what he has moving forward or how much further he can come along. He may not be tops in the league but he is no slouch at all currently where he is at and maybe we will see him go even further next season.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
