Who cares we are tanking. We are going to need a few years to become a contender. Trade everyone now for maximum value or we can keep everyone on big contracts and stay an average to below average team.

Tanking is a fan thing. Might as well go ahead and prepare yourself for the inevitability that we win a few games and end up with the 4th or 5th pick. It's just what we do.

he's athletic and explosive, and most of the time it ends up being nothing. he's not good against the run or in pass coverage. if he's not piling up sacks, he's not contributing otherwise. let someone else pay what he's going to get for what they believe to be a big impact player. reddick was more explosive and productive last year than burns has ever been. 

if we can get a decent 1st for him, that would be huge. turn it into a franchise TE for our new QB or a WR to put with Moore. We need a pass catcher at the TE position because it's the quickest and easiest read and can help a young QB a lot. plus, we don't need anyone on the roster who is going to help us win right now.

Just curious--How do you see us keeping him?

I'm a big Burns fan & acknowledge the "fug off with this bs" type responses but I'm genuinely curious to how we navigate this.

4 years 85 million with an extra void year or to at the end. Kept the cap around ten the first two seasons.

And here is the kicker. Offer 50 million in up front cash at signing. This is what the Rams keep doing and a benefit in having a very rich owner that can dish out at loan and not wait for the money from the NFL in coming seasons. Very few people can turn down that kind of money, even if they wanted out before.

Yep, he’s incredibly overrated because of physical attributes and that stupid spider man celebration. FO should take advantage of that and move him to the highest bidder before it’s obvious he’s a one trick pony.

Why do we develop players so that they can go on and contribute to other teams success? Why the hell would we trade him? We need a cap wizard who can help us keep our good developed players. So after we trade him do we then signa  free agent to replace him that would just cost as much? Its pointless. Try to negotiate something with him that compensates him for what he does and try to keep him. He is a solid defender

Brian Flores would like a word with you 🤣

Valid but your point cuts both ways in this discussion. Those claims about being given incentives for tanking are all the more reason for teams to be extra mindful not to give any indication of impropriety. So again we're back to tanking talk being mostly a fan dream.

Here's the thing, if Panthers are trading players for assets in the future, does that mean Fitt will be the GM next year? I don't understand having a fire sale of your best players and then trying to hire a new GM. Is it Fitt's call to trade these players or is it Teppers? These trades would be for the future, why would Fitt do it if he is not going to be around for it?

If they trade him or let him walk I’ll be done with the team. Not that I’m a fan bc of Burns, but this team keeps shitting on our core players. From peppers, to smitty, to how we handled DWill, to Cam, and now possibly Burns and CMC. Tepper alone has made it harder to care for the team.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
