Seeing what the Commanders got for Sweat and Young I just don't think moving Burns was on the table today. Would you really give up a massive haul for Burns when could get one of those guys for way less?

Burns seems likely headed for a franchise tag IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if that resulted in an ugly holdout and a potential trade.

So he's going to hold out and now we're going to trade him for a day three pick instead next year... If that's not the Panthers way, I don't know what is

I'd much rather have Chase and Montez than Brian Burns. Would have been crazy but maybe they could have been in on those 2 and then traded Burns in the offseason. They would have, at the very least, been able to get a 2nd and 3rd for Burns in the offseason. And likely could have signed both Chase and Montez for just a little more than what they're about to pay Burns. 

I honestly think montez sweat is a better NFL player than burns. Bears got a steal getting him for a second round pick

Panthers just spent multiple high picks trading up for Bryce, that was our splash trade for this year.  Scott already dug us into a hole with bad trades in previous years and bad draft pick selections. At this point, he'd either be digging us further into the hole or getting minimal returns for players that are probably more valuable just staying on the team. Scott hasnt shown the capacity to draft well enough in the mid and late rounds. 

Or the first

He's also played in less games but has way more pressures. It's good that Burns is available, but he's markedly less effective than Bosa. We were always going to have to pay him, but Bosa money? 

Bosa also plays for a premium team in a premium market that is always in the Super Bowl conversation. His market sets itself.

I still think that Burns will be traded to New England for their 2024 #1 and change (maybe even a draft day trade) if Belichick sticks around, who won't be keen on growing any more rookies. Their big FA splash will be Kirk Cousins if he looks good from the Achilles or maybe Tannehill.

Burns will 100% sign with them to stick with Belichick, who has countless defensive players that elevated during his tenure. He'd also be coached up by Jerod Mayo, who's also probably their HC-in-waiting. New England makes too much sense.

    • Just chasing targets is a fools game. Chase averaged 85 yrds and .76 TDs per game his first year and 87.16 yrds, and .75 TD's per game his second year. Statistically the same. NOT an improvement. Puka saw no increase either. Yes, Waddle's went down because he had to share targets with another receiver - just like TMac will have to share targets with Coker next year so you have actually just made my point concerning Coker. Olave saw an increase in targets but Carr replaced Dalton and even with the increase in targets, his production was pretty flat (83 extra yards and 1 more TD for the entire year). And Wilson's number did increase but the Jets replaced the other two receivers and their contribution was significantly down from Davis's and Moore's. Again, nothing in those numbers should lead anyone to believe there will be a big leap for Tmac next year.       
    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
