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.

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.

Bingo. His deal was more on potential/youth than anything else. 

 

I went to FSU, so I'm a burns fan, but we need to just tag and trade him and be done with this. 

I fully agree. That would be the best solution.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
