How do you not trade your players while not not killing leverage? Do you have to accept all trades? That's what I've been confused about. 

I think the biggest thing in this case was the size and value of the offer moreso than the fact that there was one. Turning down that many high picks sends a pretty clear message.

I've just about given up all hope that we'll re-sign him this season at this point.

If we can't get a deal done before week 2, short of offering him the same numbers Bosa got, I don't think Burns' camp will agree to a new deal anymore, especially if he gets another sack this weekend.

Hell, if he plays a few more games the same way as week 1, he'd be assured of his contract stature even if he got hurt and missed the rest of the season (knock on wood), the more he plays like this, the less injury risk is a concern for him I think.

If he plays like this all season he will get his money.  We've all been waiting on him to play like THIS. He is still a liability in the run defense, but he's got a cool sack celebration so he's got that going for him.

That's my concern and why we should have just given him what he wanted before the season started, as whatever the number was, it was lower than what it will be when he balls out this year.

I think people forget that even when he was drafted, he was a bit of a project.  He was still a bit undersized for a DE and got by in college on his raw physical talents, something everyone knew wouldn't work from the jump in the NFL due to him being a little light.

Combine that with the epically bad coaching staff he had, I don't think it was a surprise that he struggled at times so far in his career.  

But his pass rushing ability was always evident, now he has a competent coaching staff, has bulked up, he was always poised to have a monster breakout season, most fans saw this coming, not sure how the staff couldn't when they watched him every day all summer and raved about him.

You don't pay players by what you hope they will be. You pay them by what they have shown to be. It's that simple Marty.

Yes and no

It's not like we were going to pay someone who has just been average, he's been a borderline elite pass rusher for 3 years now who everyone could see was teetering on the edge of stepping into that elite category.

Sometimes you just have to take the risk with a guy like that and sign them to a bigger deal than you'd have liked, because you believe in him and that he'll be worth it.

The second we turned down 2 firsts for him, we signaled that we believed he was going to take that leap.  If the team even had the slightest question that he'd get there, they'd have taken that trade and laughed while doing so.

That's a key difference here than with the old Marty crap.  He paid players for what they did in the past, not what he thought they'd do in the future, very very different.

I get it. You love Brian Burns.  I'm not going to lose any sleep if they don't extend him. The defense is bad already and he hasn't made any impact in any games to date. Life will go on if they can't come to an agreement.

he hasn't made any impact?!?!?!

The Falcons coach literally said that he blew up their gameplay with how he played in the first half and they had to completely alter their second half strategy to deal with it.

Just because the rest of the defense and the offense isn't yet up to the task of carrying their own weight, doesn't mean he isn't impacting games.

We also had a pretty good defense the second half of the season last year, I don't think that happens without his pass rush.  Pass rush starts everything on a defense if you can get to the QB quickly, it makes every other player on the team better because they have to do their job for less amount of time.

1 game, inwhich he missed crucial tackles that resulted in a TD. That game?

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "

      this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
