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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
