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.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
