Burns will be sacrificed for a WR to two.

Just my opinion, but I think the writing is on the wall for Burns. No way they pay him $30m+/yr while allowing Bryce to run for his life because we have no skill position players. This is probably why negotiations have stalled.

He’ll either be traded mid season for a WR + picks or tag+ traded in the off-season for the same. 

Between Fitt and Frank, their jobs depend on Bryce doing well so I think they’ll pull every lever they have to get him weapons even if it hurts the defense.

Not a lot of WR FA’s next year except Tee Higgins. He’ll want $22m+.

can they afford him?  Cause that deal seems fair maybe if you add in a 2nd or 3rd

I'm not sure...just trying to think of teams that might be desperate enough to package a 1st for Burns. Looks like they've got $85m-plus cap space next season but a poo ton of FAs. I don't think you're getting Higgins, a 1, and a 2/3 for Burns though given he also needs/wants a massive deal. We'd probably have to send a pick back at that point.

I mean, how about Tee Higgins and a first from the Bengals?

It's going to be a buyers market for him this time around because whoever gets him knows they'll have to pay him after half a season.

If we could get back into the 1st round and a handful of pocket lint, I'd do it. Burns could have a great career just getting swapped around to teams that feel they are a pass rusher away from a title.

If they wind up trading Burns for less, after they passed on the awesome trade deal we received for him earlier, then they're fuging idiots.

At this point it doesn’t matter. It was a bad move to decline that trade but we can’t let that prevent any future moves.

      LT Ikem Ekwonu wants to remain in Carolina long term but has no timeline for an extension

      Curious what his price is, but definitely think we need to resign him. Hard to find a quality tackle - he's definitely improved and having a stable guard in lewis beside him has helped a ton. Still needs to work on the false start and holding penalties though

      Yeah, you want actual Panthers fans to succeed. Same with poor Will Levis a few years ago. You just wish the local ACTUAL Panthers fans(very rare in the first place), pan out.  But, alas, it is what it is. I don't know if it is as simple as having Ikey switch to RT immediately. I think the cleanest switch would have been to attempt that for him as a LG. But, we spent a fuging shitload of dough on our IOL.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.
