Random article here for discussion: Panthers' Brian Burns addresses future amid another rough season

[WarPanthers89]

This is a random article I found while scrolling on insta today. While it does not say much at all, I figured it was a good topic to discuss amongst us being that he will be a headline this offseason. Although I don’t believe, and I am not in favor of top 3 pay, you would be a fool to think we are a better team without Burns, who hasn’t even hit is prime age yet. It’s a very tough call to move on from young, star talent. In the moment, it’s easy to think we are better off thanks to draft picks/cap, but then you look back a year and regret it (example: DJ Moore and CMC)

ARTICLE:

Brian Burns doesn't feel like moving, and the Panthers just might benefit from that impulse.

Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns has expressed his desire to remain with the team that drafted him. His reason why is not one football players typically cite.

“Since I was young I just don't like change,” Burns told assembled media members on Wednesday when discussing his future with the Panthers, courtesy of ESPN's David Newton.

Burns is in his fifth season with Carolina since he was selected by the franchise in the first round of the 2019 draft. The team has won five, five, five, and seven games in his first four seasons with the team. They'll finish the 2023 season with no more than four wins.

The Panthers exercised the fifth-year contract option on Burns' rookie deal for this season, meaning he is set to hit unrestricted free agency in 2024.

Burns a believer in Panthers' future?

Despite the lack of success and having played for six different head coaches (including those under interim status) already, Burns is not eager to move on from the Panthers.

Is that because he believes in QB Bryce Young's development? Does Burns see opportunity in a less-than-stellar NFC South in the near-future?

Hearing from the star rusher, inertia is mostly to blame.

“I don't like starting over. It's just not — I mean I will. If I had to, I will. I can adapt to anything, but I just never liked it.

Even at Florida State, we started losing and all the (transfer) portal and sh*t was new, I didn't leave, you know what I mean? So I don't change like that. I like to stick it through.”

Not wanting to pack up and move is an impulse we can all relate to. For the Panthers, it might just ensure a Pro Bowl-caliber defender stays put in free agency despite a pending front office overhaul.

I'd be happy for him to stay.   Just not for 30 mill per season.

[4Corners]

He is a good player. I hope he stays, but he ain’t worth what he probably wants. Really looking like a miss not trading him for those picks. 

[Johnstonny]

you play like 20 mil bro....if u averaged 14-15 sacks last 3 years...we can talk mona...Casper doesn't have shttt over on you.

Good, I would like for him to stay. It would be nice to have some anchor players that stay here and reach full development. Need that at the coaching level mostly of course, but it would be nice if in the future we have a team that isn't going through constant change at every level (unless necessary/warranted).

Why popcorn? You're the only one on this entire board who wants to sign him for $$$. So unless you pipe up, it'll be a boring thread.

Looks like? It is in fact one of the worst decisions in franchise history

Although HE’S NOT Maxx Crosby

 

I’d be happy if he accepted this deal

 

Maxx Crosby signed a four year, $94 millioncontract with the Raiders on March 11, 2022. Crosby received $53 million in guarantees of which $26.515 million is fully guaranteed at signing.

Every year he's had a competent bookend, he has more than played well.  He's still young. He's a natural leader. 

Would be beyond stupid to not extend him.

I don’t know, man. He doesn’t do much in the way of stopping the run and now he doesn’t do much in pass rush, either.

You talking what I'm talking.

I do appreciate his desire to stay. Maybe we can work something out, but it shouldn’t be anywhere close to 30M.
