We don't know that.  This could be his prime.  This could be his peak. 

I'd argue every Panther great DE entered their prime about year 4/5.   Some just maintained longer.  Like Peppers.  Peppers.  Rucker.  Big Money.  

Where they 24 like Burns is or are you just impatient?

No we haven't seen his prime yet .. he'll be only 25 the entirety of 2023 season .. you don't trade freak DE's

again, we don't know that.    You can't predict when a player peaks out. 

But all the great Panther DEs to date, reached their playing peaks about year 4/5.   They didn't get more productive after that.  That could be Burns.  It could not. 

Burns isn't a freak DE.  Peppers was a freak DE.  And there is big difference between the two.  You can pay Burns a lot of money.  It won't make him a Peppers caliber freak though.

I respectively disagree with Verge.

That's is their value if you need to cash the assets right now.  But they are an investment.  They will appreciate over time.  And right now we have a little time as this is a lost season. 

That's just not how grading assets in the NFL works. Not when one bad season can get your butt fired as a coach or GM Outside of a small handful of truly entrenched guys.

And how are draft picks going to "appreciate"? 😂 We aren't talking about stocks or bonds here.

Scott Fitterer isn't trading one of if not his absolute best roster asset for picks he might never get to make. Nor should he.

Burns combine shows he's an elite athlete and he's gotten better (and bigger) every year he's been in the league. He also came into the league at only 230, he's put on weight since and will continue to do so. You're just being cynical

Yall know extending Burns isn't coming out of your paychecks right?

It's the same people who whined about paying a QB but were perfectly fine sinking the salary cap in a running back. You can't reason with it.

The guy who wants to trade our team captain, star player at a valuable positions wanted us to keep the star RB who hasn't played in years and was the biggest cap hit on the team. 

Yeah, I'm justified for calling that an f150

I don't think it is cynical to say he isn't a Julius Peppers freak DE.   He isn't. 

Jon Beason was a damn good LB.  He wasn't on the same planet as Luke Kuechly. 

DJ Moore is a great WR.  He isn't in the conversation with an 89.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
