Chubb is getting 22m a year and Burns is gonna get more than that. He's gonna be closer to Garret and Bosa than to Chubb. No other way about it. 

Then it’s a front office failure.   Should of traded him.

No other way about it.  

and that’s why teams like the Eagles win and we don’t.   They paid an elite pass rusher 15 a year.  A better one than Burns.

Look at the athletic article thread, been trying to tell everyone he was asking for Bosa level money.

I'm sure we're gonna get called kids, children, etc., by those who are emotionally attached to Fitterer and excessive use of emojis, but it has to be said. 

He's the next casualty on this ship.

If he was the one who decided to turn down the Rams offer and then they ultimately lose Burns in FA or have to deal him for a much lower haul, it is a pretty big indictment.

Problem for him is even if it was Tepper who put the brakes on the Rams deal, Fitterer is in the fall guy position. 

As somebody said on this or one of the 372 other Burns threads, once you turned down that deal, you better start talking about an extension.  I get it, the didn't have any idea who would be the HC or what the DC was going to run, but you have already shown you hand.

I’m not saying he isn’t arguing for it.  I’m saying the Panthers shouldn’t pay that and if they drastically overpay him it’s a front office failure.  Fitt should have traded him.

I can't even blame Burns. Some moronic team will pay him 30+ mill a year and be regretting it after a year. Sadly, it will probably be us

Tapper was fine with trading the face of the franchise just a week earlier. He didn’t stop anything involving Burns.

If we lose Burns for less than 2 firsts, he should 100% be fired

You can’t get 2 first for him now. That was a desperate team being desperate and we opted not to take advantage….and then put ourselves in a poor negotiating position.

Oh they won't pay 30m, he'll get something around 25-27m a season and have a high guarantee amount above what Garret and Watt got.

The Panthers think he's worth 23-24m a season. That's what they came at him with and well he didn't say yes..  let's say that. 

Why would he say yes. After that non-trade, they cost themselves 7-10M/yr on his deal. Burns and his agent know this.

I think we are the only team dumb enough to think Burns and 30ish would go together.   And his team frankly has us in a weird spot when we turned down a trade we frankly should have made.  

The front office remains a problem.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
