Since Bosa set the rate for a top notch pass rusher at 34 million a year. Burns is not at that level yet and may never be.

If Burns demands 30 million a year, should they give to him or not?

If his agent won't move off that amount, what should they do?

Force his hand and try to tag him?

What do u think?

It’s not going to hurt anyone or even the cap make it happen let trying to tell the team what to pay our best Pass rusher he might not be Bosa but he’s our key DE pay him and move on the cap will work itself out in the future. A deep playoff run would recoup whatever extra funds we kick out on concessions and tickets we got a lot of rookie deals still we’re ok to pay our DE 30 a year for now get 3 years of good work out of him trade or restructure the contract after that if he hasn’t performed up to standards.

I'm fine giving him 30 as it won't be bad in a couple years when a bunch of other contracts pass it up.

But if he's asking for more than that, he's being stubborn and ridiculous and I'd just rather trade him right now to say the Raiders for a First and Adams or a First, Second, and Jones.

I want him here and am fine paying him to stay, but it's gotta get done before the season starts (or at worst after week 1 or 2).  We can't have him sitting out and we can't risk him having a crazy season and then needing to pay him above Bosa's deal next spring, neither of those are acceptable for me.

How have you been disagreeing with me all this time when I been saying 28-30mil was a realistic offer...

 

It's okay to agree with me buddy.

 

 

Yet again, I ask... do you even actually read my posts or do you just see it's me, quote it and spew randomness?

I literally said that to you last night, that we agree on paying him but that it's ridiculous to use the "players need to feed their families" argument when defending them holding out.  But you kept quoting me and arguing random stuff that I wasn't saying.

Go re-read the posts from last night, or even any post of mine on the Burns contract matter.  The entire time I've been saying to just pay the man what he wants as we lost all leverage by turning down the 2 firsts and we can't afford to lose him or let him play the year out and risk needing to give him the biggest contract ever next spring.

Here's the post where you argued with me about something I wasn't saying and where I directly quoted both of us saying the same thing, but somehow you couldn't realize it...

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
