Big fan of Burns but...

You need a better agent if it comes down to that.

Burns value is set by the market regardless of what happened with a previous trade 

And right now it is the perceived market.  He and his agent are looking at recent deals and the Panthers are looking at how recent deals compared to him.

The fact that we turned down a pair of firsts and a high second for him last year will impact his side's view of the market for him and his worth to the Panthers.

But the market will not truly speak until he becomes a FA.  Then, it only takes one team to bid his price up substantially.  Kinda like we did in the Jet's trade value for Darnold.

Ah yes the patented get rid of Brian Burns so you can go draft the next Brian Burns argument, it's so easy a caveman can do it.

Picks are the perfect thing until they become players, then they need to be traded so they can become picks again

He’s not the GM everyone on here acts like he is. People just like him because he’s not Hurney or Gettleman. I’m not so sure he’s better than either at this point.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, because we're not far from a bunch of Fitt fans jumping off his bandwagon.

I wish we had taken the two firsts for him when we had the chance this past spring.  I thought it was a dumb move not to.

I mean, I get him wanting money, but he made a point to say during training camp he’s showing up to practice. What changed? 

Money changes everyone.

In house situation if this was true you realize the market will sell your home in a day or 2. You don't need to accept low ball offers

When the mortgage payment is due and you're moving in a couple days, things change. Situation dictates what you will and won't accept. My last 3 properties were all acquired for 20% under asking price because the seller needed the money immediately to put elsewhere. His need was an opportunity for me to my advantage. 

Burns is going to get paid. This is simple supply and demand. The season starts in a couple of days. The Panthers have to have Burns to have any chance at winning games. That's a powerful bargaining chip and his agent knows it.

I’m all for him getting paid, chase the bag.

It’s funny people get offended about what his market rate is. Burns will get top dollar from us or someone else around the league. Imagine our pass rush without Burns….it’s not going to be pretty. He plays one of the most expensive positions in the league right up with LT and QB. Don’t act like players like BB just grow in trees.

but think of how many late round picks we can flip those two firsts for

I wouldn't have had an issue with Burns' actions right now if he didn't scream all camp about how he wouldn't hold out and how important it was for him to be there, etc. like dude really you say all that and just do the exact opposite a month later... lol

That's exactly my stance. Like dude you were just all bragging about being here and how you "have to be here". I want him to get paid and think we need to just do it, but the sudden about-fact is stupid.

It's not a tall tale. 

I hated re-signing Robby Anderson from the jump and it was not a popular opinion:

 

This, on the other hand, did not age as well:

Chosen/Robby/Robbie wasn't even good enough to be a Corey Brown.

It's cute you think that's a gotcha post. Robbie was talented and could have been a great 2nd option but he got cocky and bought his own hype and thought he had arrived and stopped putting in the work. He become a cancer in the locker room and that's on him. I still don't recall droves of people saying he was better than Moore. Obviously he wasn't and only a few trolls or goobers would have believed otherwise. You probably should move on from DJ though you already did this with McCaffrey and it got really unhealthy. Don't make the same mistake again.
