So Carolina turned down 3 first round picks and 1 second round pick for Burns/Moore?!?

[matt rhules gut fat]

Burns is more valuable to Fitt for next year vs that one 2nd rounder pick for 2023 and those picks years down the road. He knows if he doesn’t put a somewhat decent product on the field next year he’s gone.

Such a garbage move, just fully commit to the rebuild and maybe you’d show you deserve to stick around for it.

Yeah, I’d hate to do what the Dolphins did and trade Burns for Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and Bradley Chubb.
 

I mean think of that… you could say Burns/Chubb are equal and then you gain a top 5 WR in the NFL and a very promising young WR.

You gonna bank on player like Hill or Chubb being there to be had in 2024?

more than I bank on Burns developing into a 20 sack per season player like he will be paid to be? yes. we just paid 2 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick for the right to overpay him. we may as well have made the trade in reverse at the deadline. we gave him the leverage to write his own check and it will be MASSIVE. for what?

With the 40M saved from Burns, you damn right.

I loathe everything this franchise has become 

it happens when you put cheap pieces into slots that aren't ready to produce a quality product.

People in here acting like Burns is the second coming of Reggie White.

[ForJimmy]

I agree with the Moore decision.  I want to see what he can do with an offensive HC and actual QB throwing him the ball.  If he can break 1000 yards with Teddy, Kyle Allen, One Armed Cam he is going to be even better.  He also is on a decent contract IMO.  The Burns one is a tough pill to swallow now that it's being reported they also threw in a 2nd this year....

IMO, having that many first rounders on rookie deals for 4-5 years enables you to build fairly cheaply and evaluate who you do want to actually pay and for how long. HUGE miss for the Panthers.

 

[panthers34]

Those trade offers will still be there in the offseason if they feel they need to make them at that time. 
 

imo the only reason to trade one of those two guys are to insure you get one of the potential franchise QBs in this draft. Not looking like we’ll have to trade up with the way we’re playing so I like that we held onto those guys so a young QB has pieces around him when he arrives

The offers will not be as good in the offseason. They were good now, because teams were gunning for the Playoffs. Once the season is over things will cool.

Panthers draft capital if they made the Burns trade:

2023: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5

2024: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6

2025: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7

So basically 3 top 15 picks 

If you expect the rams to be mediocre the next 2 years, sure.  Knowing our luck they’d finish bottom 10 this year and win the super bowl in 23 and 24 when it matters for us with their first round pick

I'm just getting pissed off with these half assed "rebuilds". If you're going to do it, then stop being a pussy and fully commit. Trading CMC was a step in the right direction, then we hesitate on Burns and Moore? Fug that, you should have gotten compensation for anybody that wasn't a franchise QB, and since we don't have one of those, EVERYBODY should have been readily available for draft picks.

Can't wait to overpay Burns just to watch him overrun sacks and get pummeled in the running game. This franchise will never get it right, too many sorry ass people at top to turn this thing around sadly.
