Possible.  If I’m him, I go out week 1, rack up 3 sacks and a couple TFL, then demand my pay.  

It's typical for teams to stop all contract negotiations during the season. Not sure if this would be an edge case since it involves a holdout for a premier player though.

Sounds like Burns isn’t practicing today. Frank says he won’t know what’s going to happen until Sunday.

Kinda wish burns would take this attitude.

Which for those that don’t know hockey. Necas is an RFA x2. Aka we basically gave him his 5th year option. Basically the same boat as Burns but you can’t “tag” in hockey so he gets a qualifying offer. If any other teams wants to pay higher they can and you either have to match or not. But the situation is nearly the same. 

If I was the panthers and burns doesn’t play I’d find the first team willing to give up a first and a few roster pieces we need this year and be done with him.

    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
    • Yeah it's kind of like they don't want him on the team anymore for some reason
