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...

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
