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

I’m not fully out on Fitterer despite my frustration with how this situation has been handled. I do wonder sometimes though how things would be had Tepper hired Andrew Berry like he reportedly wanted to back in 2020. I believe the only reason he didn’t hire Berry was because he didn’t want to get rid of Hurney at the time and they were trying to get Berry as an assistant GM — probably with the intent to promote him after they fired Hurney — which was a lateral move.

"I wouldn't have given Burrow an extension. You could trade him and net 2-3 first round picks, then use that money on linebackers, running backs and a solid veteran backup QB"

I generally agree with the argument you’re making and hope we resign Burns but you can’t really compare a good DE/Edge to an Elite franchise QB, there not even remotely close in impact.

pass rushers of Burns ability don't hit the open market, if you want one, you have to "overpay" to get/keep them.

I can name several that hit the open market in the last couple years.  And there contracts are out there.   And the league isn’t and hasn’t been paying those types Bosa money.   The pass rushing specialist tier is a different pay tier.   And heck, there are some more well rounded ones than Burns that have signed very recent deals.

I like how you cherry pick his sacks. Like he hasn't improved them every year. Way to minimize his growth.

 

It is almost criminal how little respect Burns gets around here.

It’s not cherry picking.  It is what it is.  He had one year of double digit sacks. 

Burns isn’t coming off some crazy Von Miller caliber rookie contract play.   Burns isn’t even matching journeymen pass rushers like Reddick. 

and people are talking about cartoon money being cool.  

Front office made a mess of this.  Because we have a weak front office.  It’s largely the same one that has been making a mess of it all the past several years.  Switching out Rhule for Frank doesn’t change the fact more issues exist in BOA that weren’t named Rhule. 

Nothing we can do about Tepper.  Fitt should have gone with Rhule.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
