Overpriced - injury prone - getting (football) old looking for longer deal - poor work ethic 

No thanks

He had 11 sacks last year and 2 forced fumbles.  He's going to want to get paid in Reddick territory, so it isn't happening.

this remaining cap room makes it more frustrating we did not re-sign Reddick. one of the most underrated pass rushers. a shame. 

I have a feeling his numbers will crash back down to reality this year. His biggest reason for success was Burns.

Not that it matters but Pro Football Reference shows 9 sacks - wonder why it is different? 

Either way there is a reason he has been on 4 different teams the last 4 years and is still on the market - anyone still available right now has a reason.  In his case it is an absolute heck no!  I have said it since he was drafted and he has proven to be not worth it for 8 years.

I really wanted former New Orleans Saints free agent safety Marcus Williams but he  has agreed to a five-year, $70 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens.

I suppose his high price tag was more than the Panthers were willing to pay.

U don’t think Fletcher Cox and Jordan Davis  could provide the same kind of assistance as Burns provided?

They should just hang onto that space until some vets get cut in training camp and beef up the depth on the roster. A bigger DE with run stooping ability would be nice. Not sure if Ioannidis is going to line up at DE or DT. Teams ate the Panthers run defense alive last year.

Yeah but we could only have one, Reddick or Burns, they just were both too small to have both. Got ran on at will last season.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
