Well yea, after today that's not surprising.

If he plays like today all season, he'd be able to get a deal just as big as Bosa on the open market.  

Franchise tag

Franchise tag

If we have to franchise tag him, he's never playing another down for us again.

We couldn't come to an agreement with him this offseason, if he balls out and puts up 15+ sacks this year and is the best player on our defense and then we can't get an extension done by the franchise tag deadline, we never will.

And if he almost didn't play this year, he's not playing another season on a franchise tag.  If we have to tag him and don't trade him, he'll show up when he's forced to in week 10 or whenever.

If he plays out the year and plays great, we either make him the highest paid defensive player ever or will need to franchise tag and trade him, neither are really the most attractive options, needed to get a deal done before today.

Burns was also posting on his IG story all fans asking for him to get paid, and showing his highlights of the game

reminded me a little of 2011, when DeAngelo's Twitter feed was just retweets of "Give DWill the damn ball!" and "@deangeloRB sorry our coaches won't let you run it more"

I don't equate him to DeAngelo in terms of attitude -- this just reminded me of it lol

Burns and brown made them a one dimensional team until the turnovers caught up with them. 
 

need to pay him now.

I was about to post something similar. We need to lock in Brown before the DL market gets reset by another player. Burns and Brown get contracts and right now Chinn (unless he signs a reasonable one) and Horn will be the ones we replace.

I will be curious to see what the pff rating is on burns and chinn.  I bet its pretty high for burns but really not sure what i watched with chinn.  Same goes for luvu/shaq.  Not sure what the hell they were doing

Luvu had a bad game. Should have hit Bijan in the backfield on his TD, dropped an INT just off the top of my head. We would just need to allocate some of that cap for the OL. A weapon for Young and possibly extending some OL for example would be a start.

Burns should take the high road, play out his contract and tell the Panthers he wants to hit FA in the offseason.  Some of these monster contracts are coming back to bite teams in the arse.  Burns deserves to get paid more, but if the Panthers are balking considering how they feel about Brian, you have to think Burns' camp is asking for the moon.

Chinn played well… second in team tackles, and didn’t give up a reception. However, we will see how PFF grades it but… going back through the tape… chinn didn’t let a reception go to his man.
