Brian Burns Extension possibility

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....

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!

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.

And this is exactly why you entertain trade talks.

So funny how much heat we got saying let’s use his contract extension $$$s on two solid starters and use the 1sts and 2nd (we’d have 36/39 for a TE and WR or Edge and TE or WR and CB, any combo  this year) and have the 2024 1st and 2025 1st of a team that shed Jalen Ramsey this offseason.

Now people are saying franchise him after this year to make sure he plays well in the 3-4. SMH, with the cap space we could have replaced his value or 80-90% of his value with two FA D starters and put some serious young, 4-5 year contract weapons around our rookie QB this draft and the next two drafts.

I still think we’ll regret not taking that deal. I’m also fairly sure the Rams are thanking their lucky stars that we didn’t take that deal so they could rebuild a bit.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
