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.

Spend a little for a returner, keep the rest for an emergency, roll as much as possible over to next year. No reason to waste any of it for a famous vet on their way down in production.

Lattimore, CJ Gardner-Johnson and Mathieu. That's a nice secondary.

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.

If we play them while Darnold is still starting (if he even does this season), they're gonna feast on the poor lad

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.

Exactly and I would say he gets half that this year.

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?

[WOW!!]

Clowny makes sense.. Hometown kid we could use a vet DE good at run defense.. Also still have years of production.. 

Cons 

Will cost money..

Injury concerns 

[hepcat]

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.

Roll it over for next season
