The Athletic: Insight to Brian Burns Contract

In Madden I traded Burns for Bosa because of his contract demands.  This AI is telling the future.

All seriousness, I don't think Burns sits out the Atlanta game.  If money is that important, he's not giving up nearly a million dollar game check at a less than 6% tax rate.  He really has no incentive to sit out and control the narrative that he is a team first player.

The only way I see him sitting out is if there is ZERO movement from the original tender in the contract talks.  The Crosby deal is not really a good option for comparison.  Only 50% of that contract is guaranteed.   Burns will be looking at something north of TJ Watts deal.  Watt signed his deal in 2021.  If you increased Crosby's deal for inflation and you are looking at $27.5 million per year average.  If you offer Burns 4 years, 115 Million, 80million guaranteed that is fair market price and doable.  This will allow Burns to go for an extension after year 3 or become a trade commodity the last year of his deal.  BEFORE BRYCE NEEDS TO RE-UP!!!!!!

If Burns is looking north of 30 million per season, that amount which is fully guaranteed needs to be altered to protect against injury or decline.  I would not guarantee more than Watt was given.

It's only a fair market price if you invent Burns into a great edge defender and not just a great pass rusher.

It doesn’t mean any of that. It just means we didn’t want to trade away our best and only pass rusher in the middle of the season. He still has the option to test the open market.

Also, future picks are valued less than picks for the current year. In terms of value, they really offered two 2nds and a 3rd.

I agree that waht you are saying is correct, a lot of front offices view future picks that way but why?  It's almost like it been accepted as fact although it doesn't really seem to be based in any kind of logic.

Maybe if you are contending team but for a team like us that is still rebuilding, I think you have to look at the factors.  If the team that is trying to trade with you has a good chance of being horrible than you should almost look at is an investment.  

Maybe you get a pick this year in the 20-30 range from a different team but if you wait that pick from the Rams is top-10 or maybe even top-5.

Personally, I think alot of coach's and GMs think short term, mainly for job security reasons.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
