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

[Steelo]

He's correct.  You aren't the top priority and frankly CAN'T be... seeing as the person that would make you a priority isn't hired yet.

[pantherj]

Fitt is gone Burns! You're not getting a mega deal! GTFO!

[BY9Franchise]

He's not an all around player he's a pass rusher and not an uber elite one at that I'd let him walk for nothing before giving him 25m+

[Rocky Davis]

He is Mr. Invisible in run defense and can't cover worth a poo when dropped in zone schemes. 

Burns only value comes when he is paired with a dominant Edge opposite of him a la Reddick.  I was in the camp to re-sign Reddick but of course we didn't.  Burns is an above average Edge, not a game changer.

Tag him, trade him, just get the narcissist who is clearly deluded about his ability off the Panthers.  I can't stand folks who can't be honest with themselves.

I'm not a big Burns fan but his best season was easily last season without Reddick opposite

Yeah because Reddick wasn't taking his sacks.....   

His sacks were up last season and in a contract year he regressed.  Great way to show he's elite.

It is perfect to have a new GM without any strings attached handle this. The “we know you could have traded him for 2 firsts…” argument has no bearing anymore. Any decision will be based 100% on performance. Tag and trade would be ideal. There might be a team willing to give a first for him, wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

[onmyown]

Unfortunately tag and trade deals really aren’t that common. I mean it could happen but a tag and walk is in the mix as well and god damn if that isn’t the epitome of this idiotic franchise.

Bye Burns

The return on your 5 years is a huge loss for the franchise. You never became a championship leader or a playmaker.

[MHS831]

New GM.  Hard to say what his future holds.  He will probably be tagged for a season.  I am guessing he might be traded if the Panthers can get back into the first round.

Fitterer--you should have had to take the Wonderlic before being hired.

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Ah the good ol days when some of us were laughed at for being angry we didn't take the Rams trade. Now almost all of us are upset over that.

Anyway, when's that one guy coming in here to post his "averages" theory saying that Burns had much less chances for sacks versus the top rushers, thus would have had many, many more sacks if he had rushed as much as they did.

[PleaseCutStewart]

If Burns thinks that he earned the contract to be paid top DE money, then he definitely unearned that contract after this year...

Fwiw this is actually what he means by that first comment, lol. He isn't trying to poo on the team in this context imo. We don't have a gm or coach yet

Still not worth the money he wants 

[Call Me James]

Do whatever the opposite of the huddle narrative.

Folks were saying the same things about Brown.
