Could Wilks and the 49ers come calling?

For Burns? At first thought it doesn’t make much sense, but thinking through A) Wilks connection B) paying Purdy nothing C) their wealth on draft picks this year D) absolutely in win now mode… does it make sense they could potentially be Burns shoppers? They would immediately have the most dominant d line in prob NFL history, but at the cost of having 100M+ locked up just in D Line

Niners are contenders as is. Lions on the other hand need another pass rusher if they want to even be in the conversation vs the Niners/Eagles.

They have 2 third rounds as well. I think a 1/3 this year and a 2 or 3 next year would be fair to both sides

No way.  They are already paying their 2 starting Edge rushers a combined 54 million dollars a year

I could see it.

Stanley manhandled Hutchinson this weekend.  That Ravens OL is coming together at a good time for Lamar and whatever RB they're starting.

Na cus then they'd be paying Burns and Hutchinson a boatload of money

Good players get paid. Just because we aren't willing to pay Burns doesn't mean other franchises wont.

 

 

Yup. How about we pay our best pass rusher who is entering his prime with a contract that lasts the length of Young’s rookie contract. 

 

Burns is one of the few players worth watching. We’ve already given away the two most entertaining offensive guys.

Its sad people think trading all of our best players away is cool.

 

It's also funny they ignore the players we are drafting with those picks are not good players. Pretty soon we will have a roster full of nobodies. Then people will start missing our former stars CMC/Moore/Burns etc...

The questions are how much do you pay him and does he still want to be here?

I think the first part is the rub for most. I can't see paying him more than maybe $25-26/mil. He will likely want $30 mil or more. 

The second part we will know soon enough, I figure.

If the team doesn't think they can get a deal done, you gotta try and move him. Otherwise he walks and you get literally nothing.

Last year "We need a QB, fug it, Im willing to trade our best reciever to get a QB"

*Get QB*

This year "Our receivers suck, Im willing to trade our best Edge rusher so we can get a legit WR"

I think yall know what we'll be saying next year.  Its the circle of life as a panthers fan.  

I hear you and it sucks. but first thing we need to do is get some talent around bryce. we will unfortunately have to sacrifice what defensive progress we've made to do that.

 

Blame Fit for not doing anything with the CMC return and wasting so many assets.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
