Inquiring Teams told Burns not avaiable

[Soul Rebel]

God forbid we surround Burns with a few more pieces so he isn't double/triple-teamed. 

Not mad about this decision unless a Rams-sized offer was turned down for him. Give him an OLB opposite him and a NT worth a poo and he will thrive. The front seven is more like a front-3 lately.....and even Luvu has cooled off a tad.

We are not gonna pay him what he wants, and doesn’t deserve. 
This is gonna end up wasting everyone’s time.

They are driving up the price for the bum by saying he "isnt" available.  Everyone is available for a price minus Mahomes.

This reminds of the Peppers issue in 2009 when we tried to trade him and ultimately he walked for nothing.

Burns is being guarded by one guy the entire game.  Hell, sometimes a tightend is stoning him.  Burns even guards himself by moving out of the way on run plays sometimes.  They guy is one trick pony whos trick isnt that good right now.

 Just like when they said they werent trading McCaffrey. This also helps them save face if an offer comes. They can say they didn't want to but this offer helps the team going forward  etc. Regardless,  we can't pay him 30 plus, with the status of this team atm.

I don't think Burns wants to play for us.

He really isn't playing for us.

He's not going to really play for us.

So, yeah, let's keep the guy against his will. Better to ask him where he wants to go and call them and see if they are willing to give us anything at all to avoid the inevitable franchise tag, hold out and overpayment for an underperforming and under-motivated player.

Sheeesh, I really like(d) the guy, but man he has disappeared since the contract dispute.

What a bunch of idiots.  Burns and 2 or 3 others should be on the auction block and gone before this Sunday's game to avoid an injury that will make them useless.

WRONG AND HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!! Panthers got a 3rd round comp and used it on all-world&Panthers legend DT/OG Sione Fua!!!11!!1!!!

Can’t even say hindsight, most here knew the CMC, the trading up & the not trading Burns were real bad for football business.. Dude is 0-3 on decision for top-tier players/picks… 

Fitterer now reminds me of the kid from a story when I was a kid.. 

Kid has a dollar, another kid walks up & offer to trade his 1 dollar for 3 quarters, well, yes I’ll take 3 to 1.. another kid comes up & offers 5 dimes for the kid’s 3 quarters, he takes the deal. 4th kid approaches with “I’ll give you 6 nickels for your 5 dimes” and the last kid offers 10 shiny pennies for those 6 nickels, which he gladly took, thinking he was making out. He traded his 1 whole dollar for $.10… I love my Panthers fandom…..

Lol. This is not huddle rage. It’s amazing that after proven wrong you have to post this in a completely different thread.

Detroit, Miami, Jacksonville and the Jets have all made star player for multiple firsts/tanking moves in the past 3-4 years and all of them have gotten better and 3 of them look like potential perennial playoff contenders. Jets just haven’t had QB luck but they are still a better team. We, on the other hand have been handing out picks like candy and not committing to a rebuild. Guess who’s the worst team of the 5?

You are so cute.

I wanted him to follow Rhule out the door but most had convinced themselves that Rhule was the root of all issues.

To that I say, well... how 'bout now?

To which I'd answer...we still don't know.

This offseason was bound to have a fair amount of roster turnover due to changing systems on both sides of the ball. And despite the insistence of some that they can predict entire careers after watching just a few snaps of preseason play, you can't judge draft picks this early.

I know people want to b-tch about the team getting their hopes up and whatever, but the reality is any unrealistic expectations for what was always going to be a rebuilding season is nobody's fault but your own.
