Will Burns sign an extension before Week 1?

It's been known that the Burns camp has been waiting to see what the numbers are for Nick Bosa before finalizing negotiations on an extension with the Panthers.

Bosa is reported to be close to signing a deal of more than $30MM per year.  Depending on how high it goes in the 30s it could impact the negotiations.  My hope is that they could settle somewhere in the $28MM a year range given that Brian Burns is just a notch below Bosa in terms of production and ability.

Thoughts?

Pass. Burns isn’t worth that kind of money. It sucks but gotta let him move on if he wants top end money. If he was a better run stopper maybe. But I’d rather the panthers start taking a canes approach and getting good, high quality players, players bring the key word. Spread the money around so you have a good whole team, not a great one player.

if you are the Carolina Panthers, would you really want to give him a massive deal before you have seen him play a down in the new 3-4 scheme? 

 

It's a gamble.  With his frame/style he might be actually better in the 3-4 especially with Evero coaching him.  Waiting could put us in a corner where he wants even more money.

Once we turned down that Rams deal we all but told Burns he will be resigned/extended and it will be for a large amount of money.  I would imagine we had some idea of what he was wanting before we turned down an offer like that.

I just don't see why a NFL team would gamble on a massive contact......while never seeing him play a down at OLB in the new D.   Everyone isn't going to be the same beast in a different scheme and position. 

Make the deal in season if you ask me.

I'm surprised by this take, I think they've seen enough in camp to know he's going to be even better in a 3 - 4.

when we turned that down that offer, we also didn't know we would be moving to Evero's 3-4 scheme.

His skillset fits the 3-4 edge position better, but it's not like we can't just line him back up on the DL if he plays worse in the 3-4 (which I can't see happening).  Evero listed Burns as a top reason he wanted to come here and then proceeded to switch us to his 3-4.  He probably has a better understanding than most on how Burns should look.  

Waiting could be a dangerous game, but at the end of the day he is probably going to make a large amount of money regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
