Burns doesn’t think he teams top priority. Also thinks he should be paid among top edge rushers

If you want to be paid like a top player, you gotta be a top player.  Over his career, Burns has been:

40th

14th

21st

8th

37th

In sacks each season.  So an average of 24th.  He's "good", but not "great" or "top".  I'll give him 20 per over 4 years, with 30-35 guaranteed.

This is a message to whomever the new GM is. He's trying to preemptively set the bargaining expectations high. But I don't think it's going to work.

No GM in this league is willing to pay Burns like a top 5 or even top 10 Edge rusher. Because he's not one.

Let him sniff around the market and find out that teams are willing to pay him like an above-average pass-rusher and not a penny more. Then let him come crawling back to our new GM for an extension.

I feel pretty confident he'll be a Panther next year. But he seriously needs his ego checked.

You should include pressure rate as well. But, yeah, from the eye test alone, I think we're simply better off trading him to the highest bidder. He's not a top rusher, and that fact has shown up better than he does on every down.

Didn't this man just admit he had a poor year because he was playing scared? I sure as crap don't want someone like that on my team or in my locker room. Not a leader at all. Sir Puss can pack his things. Sadly, I am pretty sure other teams will feel this way as well. He is doing nothing but hurting his possible future contract and/or trade value at this point.

So let me get this straight, 1st round Burns can’t shed a TE block and we’ve heard nothing but contract all year…

meanwhile undrafted Frankie Luvu is a humble playmaking machine that throws linemen around like they play for the jv team. He impacts every game. He is the top rated LB about to hit… and barely a contract wisper.

Makes me wonder what his teammates think. Derrick Brown and Frankie Luvu are FAs too, and they sure as fug didn't take it easy.

Derrick Brown and Frankie Luvu are two really good football players, probably the best two on the team. The Panthers can ill afford to lose either one.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
