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.

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.
