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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
