Offers for Burns

I definitely can understand this sentiment. I think Burns can be good for a long time. Trading him for unproven rookies may not be worth it. 

I don't think Burns wants to be here though, why would he? With rookies you at least get players that aren't so disgruntled. By the way a big thanks to Tepper, Rhule, and Fitts for running this franchise into the ground.

I think a lot of folks are letting our trashiness as a team and organization make them forget just how much the rest of the NFL values legit young pass rushers. Very few guys have more sacks than Brian Burns since he's been in the league. That's gets folks' attention.

If you put everyone currently on our roster on the open market, Burns has the highest value.

Sadly, the Panthers have to contend with the likelihood that if we don't trade off some of these stars now, they're simply going to walk in free agency anyway.

He can't walk for two years and we'd probably franchise him too if it came to it.

Like Moore, if you want him you have to vastly overpay.

burns is a no questions asked tag type of player. 
 

if he starts to sour, you tag him, try to reignite his fire with a new coach and QB, and if not, trade him then.

there’s no rush to do this in light of that concern.

I agree.  I also think Burns specifically is going to get better and better.  What he shows on tape next year may push his value even higher if the Panthers are dead set on trading him.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
