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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
