It may also be a good investment for us to  let him play out the tag. There is a chance that he might underperform in the 3-4 and it would be better to not be tied to a multi-year deal for heavy bucks when the player can't live up to it. 

I don't think Burns will underperform, I think he will thrive, but we've seen it happen before when the big contract gets put into place. 

I dont think its ever a bad idea to let players play to the end of their contract...

Ok so the sanders/thielen deals look less annoying now. Shaq a real one for that 

Dam real one he understands this game he’s been paid very very well. These are the sacrifices that build strong contending teams. He sees what’s coming star qb strong staff there has to be some quality pieces for a low cap hits.

Fitterer is doing some WORK

Real deal work this one off-season he’s showing me he’s a very good GM need to see his picks this year but freeing him from that last dude I’m feeling he’s what we expected.

If we hit on the QB with the 5 year cheap contract we are set to dominate FA and make Super Bowl runs 2024-2027 years.  Especially in the NFC

Bingo we need to hit on our draft this year a couple key contributors and we’re lined up for it. Maybe just maybe a second yr Super Bowl run like top qbs so when things around them around truly in place. From coaching to the line to top talent at key spots De/Cb/Ol/Wr but I’ll take just being a contender for the next few years

I thought a Burns extension would be one of the first orders of business this offseason considering how much cap space it frees up.  That and Shaq's reworked deal. 

Burns extension is probably going to be pretty tough after the news of that trade offer.

Shaq’s new deal…

Interesting. Basically Shaq took his salary in 2023, spread it out to 2024 effectively giving us a "free year" and spreading the cap hit even more by adding the dummy years. Now granted it's not really a free year because we would've alternatively just cut him and he wouldn't have seen any of that salary, but he could've recouped that and perhaps more on a new free agent contract elsewhere. We basically ripped up his old contract and gave him a 2 year $12 million contract so it depends on whether you think he'd get more or less than that on the free agent market. This feels line a fair compromise for both sides.

Not to disagree, but my thought is he may retire at seasons end, dont know how thats changes the dead money and such. just my guess.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
