REPORT: Panthers and Brian Burns not at all close to extension

[therealmjl]

What a joke this front office is. How is it possibly to completely screw this up so badly?

I don’t take this as a somber image post, he post things like that often with spider man.

I know he posts these types of images to his story often… but that’s a depressed and worn out Spidey right there.

Burns’ brother^

It’s about to get real spicy for fitt

Say he does play and has some ridiculous  game(like a 5 sack performance).... then things get even trickier.

Might get even trickier if he sits out, we get zero pressure on Ridder and get diced up on defense. This front office has no leg to stand on either way. Pay Burns.

I've said for a while that we can't let him play the season out, either need to get a deal done before Sunday or trade him before then.

Playing out the year is the worst case scenario for us and will hang over the team all season long like a dark cloud

If he sits out, Fitt has to trade him, honestly I'd then make him inactive in week 2 and moving forward if he sat our week 1.

If after all this and all that all about how we're building something special and he knew he needed to be there, he pulls this crap and holds out of actual games, time to trade him for whatever we can get, chalk it up as a bad mistake, fire Fitterer for not making the trade last year and just move on with our lives.

Oh I know! This should've been done!

Imagine declining the trade and not able to extend him, couldn’t be this team, right? RIGHT???

[Smithers]

We went from Hurney overpaying everyone, to Fitt trading away everyone worth anything once we develop them.  Can’t we have something in the middle please?  Curious if we will even attempt to resign Brown or Luvu at this point.

this is a catastrophe the season is over

I’m really curious where each side stands.  Is Burns requesting something insane such as 30M with 100+ guaranteed?  Or is Fitt standing pat that Burns isn’t worth more than 20M?  Wish there were more details known.  We aren’t alone tho - Higgans and evans wont be getting new deals it appears.  And Jones doesn’t appear close.

He can’t trade him.  He would sure as poo get fired if he did that.
