The Athletic: Insight to Brian Burns Contract

The Panthers were never going to get rid of Burns. It's his talent and production along with demand for pass rushers that set his market value. 

He just wants to get as much for his 2nd contract as possible.  He has zero leverage.  He already said he won't sit out games. He knows his production is likely to sky rocket in a 3-4 defense,  only increasing his value. 

He was going to cost no matter how you think this has gone down.  

Elite pass rushers get paid. Am glad we have one. 

He’s not elite. He’s damn good, but he’s not elite.

None of that gives Burns any leverage. 

Burns is under contract thus season, and won't hold out. 

So your circumstantial evidence,  is just your opinions based on  poo. 

 

Good work. 

My opinion is based on experience negotiating contacts. You always keep your cards close to the chest and never look eager. When you can smell desperation the only real question is how much is it going to end up costing them. We're desperate, Burns' agent knows it, we've established his value at 3 1sts, that's Bosa level money. We lost the negotiations before we even sat down.

I'd like you to provide evidence if this insane statement. Other than that's your feelings. 

I don’t need to provide evidence for the obvious. Whether you think Burns is worth Bosa money or not he has all the leverage now. Let the defense struggle without their best pass rusher while holding out, force a trade that won’t be near what the rams offered(now that Carolina is backed into a corner) or pay him top edge money. 
 

I bet he gets his big contact any day now

Not that he would have asked for less but he knows exactly how much we value his skills. That's a valuable piece of information. 

So you agree he wouldn't have asked for less, so do tell how that "valuable piece of information" makes a difference.

Because he knows we value him as a Bosa level player which means he doesn't have to sign for less because he knows that we're willing to pay more. You can't say you're only willing to pay 25 when your actions say you'll pay more.

So if the Rams didn't offer to trade for him, Brian Burns would settle for less money? 

Come on now.

People keep harping on the Rams 2 1sts, like bro, when? 2054? lol 

2024 and 2025. They’re probably one of the worst teams in the league, with Burns. Not gonna take a side and say which I want between the two but those picks are probably top 4-6 picks. Mcvay, old Stafford, going through things Kupp, barely wanting to play anymore Donald is not enough to overcome how barren and bad that team is. Bottom five OL, bottom five defense, terrible weapons.

He may have been willing to but now he knows he doesn't have to. The Rams offer established value. Typically when you enter a negotiation you have a bottom line you're willing to accept. If you know the other side has a bottom line higher than yours, you move yours. You don't have to settle for less because you know they will pay more. There's a lot less pressure when you know their numbers.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
