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.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
