Guess Burns wanting 30 million is pretty reasonable now(Also his agent totally knew Bosa was getting this deal, which is why he pushed for 30 mil)

If I knew Bosa was asking for 34m and the niners wanted 31.5...then yea I'm sure all of the NFL knew.

Bosa’s shouldn’t be factor.  And now that we have seen it….that just doubles that point.  

Just because a team does something stupid doesn’t mean the rest of the league follows suit, with players that aren’t comps. 

Paying Burns 120+ million guaranteed? Debating that isn’t a debate.  Fire Fitt today if he is that dumb.  

What? It's absolutely a factor. The heck do you think he did all of this for?

Burns allegedly looking for $26M-$28M doesn't seem so bad now.

$26M is 76% of what Bosa got.  His production not at that level for the past 2 years (see my chart above.)

Let's just call it a day and pay the man $30M but he better play his ass off.

luvu, brown, chinn are all on deck now

If Jammie Robinson pans out I wouldn't be shocked to see us move on from Chinn unless he's willing to take 7 mil or so a year which is what CJG just got. Going to also have to put aside $5-6 mil or so for whoever we replace Henderson for as our #3 corner. Still about another year left before we can move on from Donte's contract.

That's not how contracts are done though.  Burrows is about to well be the highest paid player in the NFL by quite a bit. Parsons is going to crush this Bosa deal next year with an aav of 36-38m.

Not good for us.

Well that depends on what side of the fence you currently sit on in regards to all this.

If you're on the side of "Burns isn't worth the elite pass rusher money" then no, this isn't good for us.

But if you're like me and on the side of, "we turned down 2 firsts, we have to get it done and not worry about the money since in a few years it will be a bargain contract when the next batches of pass rushers get their deal" then this is OUTSTANDING news.

It now gives the team the ability to give him his 28-30 a year that he wants, which while it's more than the team wants to pay, it keeps him solidly below the top number, which will then continue to get topped over the next few years.

So we give Burns his 28-30 a year now, we'll feel much better about that when Parsons gets 36-38 next offseason.

Welp...

Get it done Panthers.

I think at the end of the day Burns is going to get something like $27m/year with $75-80m of it guaranteed at signing. Basically Joey Bosa/TJ Watt money.

Micah Parsons is going to get more $ than Nick Bosa even though according to that chart his stats aren't at the same level. It's not an analytical discussion, it's production vs. precedent. Both come into play.

These players like money more than winning don’t blame them but as a fan I hate it

So San Fran is now paying 9 players 80+% of their cap next year..

Thats what you can do when you have a 7th round QB on his rookie contract. 

[MHS831]

If Bosa got paid $34m I imagine Burns will counter that he is worth $27m, his asking price. 

No pass rusher is worth 2 million per sack.

They won't in the end 

CMC for example will get restructured as he has a $14 million cap hit and an $11.8 million salary.  They'll end up re-structuring that to be like a $10 million roster bonus and a $1.8 million salary so they can spread that 10 million into future seasons.

Do that with 3-4 of the guys on that list and they cleared up a solid 20-30 million from that alone for next year.
