Will Burns sign an extension before Week 1?

Recommended Posts

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.
