Honestly I was surprised there isn’t a bigger gap.  If Burns played for 49ers, Cowboys or Steelers he would be considered “elite”.  His sack numbers could have been bigger if he finished them (how many times did we see him just fail to wrap up).  I think his best days are ahead of him and we need to pay him.

If Burns could finish 50% more when he gets to the QB he’d have 20 sacks a year.

Did he get bit by a radioactive spider in the off-season? 

It’s true though. He’s going to be a menace as a stand up edge in the 3/4. It will put him in his natural athletic position to at least be average in the run game.

Tell me you don’t know football

Dont have to tell you. It’s all on here. This is just the latest in a long line of mistakes made with money. And I warned against all of them. How about you? 
 

It’s not as good as your…..

Let Burns walk and watch this defense turn into a bottom 25 overnight lol.

We get it. Burns isn't Bosa, that much is obvious. Realizing that this defense literally would not function without burns is also something to note. 

Whatever contract he gets, it's worthwhile at this point from a team impact value standpoint. Not a single defender on this team is better than him.

Otherwise it'll be amusing to see just how bad this defense will look without him, because it'll certainly be a tragic comedy.

Does Burns have his issues I'd hope he fixes after a big payday? Very much so, and I hope to see him take a step up in a theoretical system that suits him better.

Just know that good DEs don't grow on trees, and 31 other teams would kill to have Burns on their roster.

Good thing he will play as an OLB edge in a 3-4. I hope people realize he will have 15 sacks a year easily and will be able to play the run from a position of strength 

Except unless they're running a 3-3-5 nickel or something like that, which seems unlikely, majority of the time he'll be playing the same sub-package end position he's been in his whole career.

If you don’t think he is going to be challenged just because of 3-4, you’re going to be severely disappointed. Teams find weakness.

We saw the defense without Burns last year 

we held our opponent to their lowest point total we held anyone to all year.  7 points. 

and if you win scoring 10 points, that’s your defense getting you the win.  So it can and did function minus Burns last year. 

Granted your clearly want Burns.  But 120 million guaranteed is 120 million guaranteed.

31 teams kill to have Burns. Yes. 31 teams pay him 30m a year, for a below average run defender, hoping he'll take over a game defensively, and maybe 15 sacks. Nope

31 teams ain’t paying him 120+ guaranteed. 

Not as a pass rush specialist.  You would need to be dominant run defender too with the pass rush game for 31 teams to hit the 120+ club.  

one guy at 100+ is a weak run defender.   And it’s the Browns.  Who do dumb things.  See Watson.  And their entire history.

The Steelers contingent would like to pass. They already have backup edge players.

21 - 3 vs Tampa earlier in the year. 

Burns had 1 sack and 2 tfl in the game.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
