Well some of it could relate more to what 89 talked about.  He said 2 weeks ago is when he would do demanded out of Charlotte. 

so we likely have guys that want no part of a long rebuild.  There window is now. 

The window that keeps us noncontenders every season and having to rebuild every couple years trading off our best players and keep drafting not knowing if the top players will transition into the NFL or not.

I wonder if it is because he wants out? I was hoping we wouldn't do anything with Burns until after the season. Also ses early unless it is coming from Burns side and the attention he is getting from teams.

Hard to say no to multi 1st deal. We are in a rebuild or pre-rebuild now. This just seems way early for this move. How about RA first?

I could see why Burns wants out.  Snow   Dropping him back into coverage doesn't give him the opportunity to increase his sack total.  Sack totals = $$$$.  

Maybe he'll have a change of heart now that Wilks is in charge.   We still have some leverage with the Franchise Tag.  I'd hope we could resign him and not have to go that route but, if we really want to keep him Tagging may be an option.

Tag is $20 mil for DE this past year, will likely go up a tad.  The tag tightens things up as much as a new contract.  Will be VERY interesting to see how we maneuver this situation.

Burns is really good, but probably overrated by the fan base. If we can get a big haul to move him I say do it. I just don't think he's worth the massive contract it'll take to keep him.

You're talking about a guy who has never had double-digit sacks and is a big liability against the run. Unless we plan to switch to a 3-4 I'd just assume move on and take what we can get.

Burns is a core player; we shouldn't let him go unless we get a really good offer for him.  Fitterer better keep in mind what Tepper said, "I never want to lose on a trade"

We'll see.

I'm just wondering how they get the room to keep him another year, sign a draft class and do practically anything else?

Even if we shed Robbie, Shaq, Elf, rework other contracts (which we already pretty much need to do to get back in the green), we're going to be really limited.

Feel free to post a legitimate article that has Brian Burns saying he wants out of Carolina.  All this ridiculous talk based on some twitter moron 

A moron on Twitter ? No way

dude is probably reading his BS get traction here and laughing away in his moms basement. Needs a good ass kicking.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
