I'm hoping we can get either a 2nd this year and future 2nd or 3rd. 

Or maybe a player and later pick. If Cinci would be willing to trade Higgins and a 3rd or 4th this year it would be enticing.  Getting Higgins would open up that 33 pick for something other than WR.  Maybe a pass rusher.  

Higgins isn't under contract and neither is Burns, so some oddball dual franchise-and-trade would have to happen. Would be a rather unique happening.

Did burns play under the tag last year?  I felt like it was just his last year under contract so.. Franchise tag is on the table. Higgins on the other hand could also be tagged.

He played under the 5th year option. He would now be an unrestricted FA if the team doesn't tag and/or re-sign him.

Good thing we put that to good use. Clowney, Wonnun, Jewell, and some of the worst tackling safeties I've ever seen are really cooking.

Still wouldn't make a lick of difference lmfao.... except we ain't got 5 years on the hook with any of them. Keep pushing that 8 million a sack though

The off-season moves improved the team. The free agent signings were worth it. We're going to draft great players with those picks we got for Burns.

Ejiro Evero talks about Panthers’ familiar free-agent signings (usatoday.com)

Quote

They’ll all look to add to the defense that allowed the fourth-fewest total yards in 2023.

Quote

“The defense is gonna be a little bit different than how we played it in Denver, how we played it at the LA Rams,” Evero added. “So from that standpoint, it’s gonna be a little bit of an adjustment. But havin’ those guys on our team right now is such a huge step forward for us.”

Keep pushing your narrative bum Burns would not make the team any better.
