Yea the panthers can do no wrong.

Fun fact, they already offered him fair market value. And a deal didn’t get done. So wrong on both accounts.

Wrong.  

Not so fun fact, what they offered him was less than two pass rushers whom recently signed extensions worth more than what was offered to Burns, yet Burns has better production. 

Next?

I’d take Crosby over Burns and he’s at 23.5. 

Sweat 24.5.

Burns has no business asking for anything more than 25.5

Burns cares what they guaranteed $ is. 

72 million is really the relevant number

Is it documented/rumored anywhere what they have actually offered Burns?

For those saying Sweat is better than Burns, I'm sure a valid argument can be made. But Burns has 2 pro bowl selections to Sweat's zero, playing the same position in the same conference. So there's definitely the perception in the league that Burns is the better player and it's accolades like pro bowl selections that carry more weight at the negotiating table than PFF ratings. So unfortunately I think the starting point at negotiations has to be at least a little higher than Sweat's deal.

Yes original offer was in the 24m range (similar to crosby) then they lowered the guaranteed and went up to 27m. 

 

He wants both the high salary and the high guarantees

The existence of guys like Hassan Reddick is what makes paying Burns stomach churning.    Reddick is a better overall player and pass rusher.
 

Burns is largely just bringing a sporadic pass rush and little else.  I mean it’s great when it’s on.  But when it’s not Burns is nothing really to talk about.   I can’t think of a single highly paid edge rusher that I would say that about.  Not the top 10ish guys.

The guaranteed $ is essentially the negotiation.  If they don’t leak that then we really don’t have a clue yet what they offered him though

As a matter of fact... Last week when Houston stopped the Panthers on the goal line and they were coming out from the 1 yard line, guess who they ran right at to give themselves some playing room? Yep. And gained 6 yards just like that, taking away the threat of a safety. When offenses target you as a weakness, you are not that guy. 

I agree bro!!!

I’ve never seen such a polarizing Panthers player.

Makes pro bowls. Opponent’s OC has to constantly scheme for him. Other teams lining up to trade and pay for Burns. 
 

We’re happy trading him away for picks so we can draft busts and then use the money for free agents like Miles Sanders and Hayden Hurst.

On mobile so sorry for tweet not working  

Burns is gonna bend us over. $30M is looking cheap 

Is there something we don’t know about Sweat vs Burns? Sweat seems to be in the Burns league as far as pressures. Some think he’s better against the run. 
 

But the Commanders only got a 2nd round pick for him…..then the Bears signed him for $100 mil? To me those two things don’t align. Wouldn’t someone getting a $100 mil contract be worth more than a second round pick? 
 

In the Burns aspect of all of this…If the Bears called and offered a single second round pick then that’s not a serious inquiry. We’d all be up in arms if Fitt traded him for that value.

I don't think the Commanders got enough for him and I would've traded Young and signed Sweat, but that Bears' 2nd is likely going to be among the 1st five picks on the round so it's as close to a 1st as you're gonna get without actually getting a 1st.

He still is not worth what he wants. Also it doesn't appear to matter if OCs scheme for him or not because he never makes an impact on game day, ever.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
