no.  and this is a sticking point...if his agent tells us he doesn't want to be part of hte rebuild, unknown coach coming in, and he'd be reluctant to sign with us....we'd have to think about it seriously

If I were Burns I would sit tight and see what I think of the new coaching staff. If your Burns, this isn't the4 worst situation in the world. Our crap offense means the D will constantly be on the field rest of the season, giving him plenty of opportunities to pad his stats and beef up his resume, whether for the rest of the league or to make his extension here bigger. If he doesn't like what he sees from the new regime, he can bail.

Eagles would be the ideal trade partner with 2 1sts. Teams know they have a small window. If Burns can help get them to the SB and elevate their defense to stop Mahomes, Jackson, etc, he's worth it. A ring fixes a lot. I'd ask for 2 1sts and their 2nd since it would be essentially a 3rd. 3 1sts, 2 nds, a 3rd and 2 4ths will attract a really good HC.

It’s not that easy. Burns has issues with his game but he’s still a really good player. It’s not just the 9.5 sacks it’s the pressure he causes and the attention he commands.

I don't know why you guys stay connected to these players....sure he's a good player, not great. But this team has STUNK with this current collection of guys. I know coaching has been absolutely atrocious and that's a big reason, but a new coaching staff is going to want to bring in their own players anyway. If the Panthers can get a haul for Burns, YOU TAKE IT. There will be a new collection of talented players to cheer for, hopefully a group that wins.

It would be fuging nuts to have 3 firsts, 2 2nds in this draft. That is such an unprecedented level of talent influx I don’t think has ever happened in one year to one team to my knowledge. 

The Jets nearly did it last year. 
 

it netted them Sauce, Wilson and Hall who are all contributing to their turnaround. It also got them jermaine johnson but I haven’t heard much out of him.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
