Brian Burns Extension possibility

If we get out under 4 years 100 million it’s a giant win. I imagine he’ll be pushing for Watt money and we’ll try and get him in closer to the Crosby/Chubb deals.

I’d pay him regardless, he’s a legit top tier pass rusher and he’s a lot more valuable in NFL circles than this board seems to value him at.

You can’t compare him to Watt, and say he’s going to request that type of money. Burns sack average is 9.5! Watt sack average is 12.6, but he also had a season of 22.5 sacks! Crosby money the most likely contract that Burns will get!

Just a thrown out ideal for a extension:

4yr/$76.5M w/$45M guaranteed!

Its a little under average contract today, but could be a reasonable contract for both parties!

With a 5% flat income tax, you'd think we could offer slightly less than teams in New York, Illinois, California, etc. 

I'm shocked at the number of players who take jobs in California and Washington for the same pay as a state like Florida. Dudes need financial management planners on speed dial during free agency.

When Gettleman was our manager he made that argument to the players and talked about it in the press.

Burns is not elite.  Not a single statistical category shows him as elite.  
 

There is nothing wrong with using the franchise tag on a player you don’t want to extend long term yet.  NFLPA agreed to it.  

Good thing we have a smart staff now. Im sure they will make the best decision for the team.

If I was GM I would wait after this year to do a deal. Tag him 💯. I believe the tag costs around 19mil this year for linebackers or Defensive ends so that's considerably less than what I believe Burns is looking for 

We dont have to do anything this season, he is under contract for this year. We could franchise him next season if he is asking for elite money.

It could go either way, he could finally be elite, and earn more next offseason, or we could pay him now and he still just get 10-11 sacks and sucks big time against the run....

Watt gets 28 a year and Crosby gets 23.5 my comment was he's for sure going to come in asking for Watt money and the most likely view we'll have is wanting to structure it like the Crosby contract. I would guess it would end up in some range between those two.

With the constantly rising cap in the NFL its rare a player can be the top paid player at his position for 3+ years like Watt is about to be, Burns is a young and ascending pass rusher in the NFL that will 100% be the highest paid edge rusher if he hit FA and teams were allowed to bid freely.

Thinking Burns isnt going to walk in and start his negotiation at a deal that would make him the highest paid edge in the league isnt grounded in reality, what number we meet at is going to be the real story. I would think we may be able to come to an agreement at 25ish, which beats the guys that signed last year but I'll be interested. 

We clearly value him as a cornerstone piece and the Franchise being so adamant they are going rookie QB shows they want any plan they have to allow them to keep some of the great young defenders we have, which a rookie QB deal helps accomplish.

Here ya go, what you can go ahead and expect.

 

Fitt did tip his hand and said the extension is prob coming after the draft.

He is pretty accurate on what he says he intends to do and does.

That is the one thing that many don't realize with Fitterer. The guy is an opened book...

If you want to know what the Panthers indeed to do, just listen to Fitterer.

In a 3/4, Burns might be everything Watts is in a 3/4.  It is going to be a 4-5 year, $120-130m deal. 

I noticed in free agency, our contracts were longer and seemingly at the top end of the scale for the most part, but the guaranteed $$ was about half the contract.

    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
    • I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries
