I'm torn between both viewpoints here because both are valid.

It's fine to feel either way. But we can also be realistic and grapple with the possibility Burns has a career resurgence at his next destination. It's become like a Panthers tradition at this point.

It's a good debate and it's what makes this a hot topic.  Both views can be right and both have good points.  My final view is if the right trade is there take it IE the Baltimore trade.  If not, tag or try to extend if you can get a deal similar to the Sweat deal.  There are several variables to consider.  We just need a replacement plus capital if we trade him IMO.

Sorry, but the team/cap friendly re-signing choice wasn't a realistic option.  I thought about it, but if that were in the cards, a deal would have already been done by now.

No sweat. I’m more alluding to the fact that the best option already passed us by haha

Burns played scared and lowered his value. Montez Sweat was traded for a 2nd. Burns isn't worth more than that, especially with his down year. Burns was also never worth what the Rams offered, which shows how bad of a GM Fitt was. He should have taken that offer and giggled like a child thinking about how he just fleeced another team. GMs are going to wonder if Burns will slack off even more once he gets paid since he slacked off in his contract year and if he really wants to play football.

Please don’t make the same mistakes we made with cmc and Dj Moore.

trading them for less than their value.

They had the opportunity to do that with Burns last year. But we do what we do, piss it away. Only thing left to do now is start the search for a trade partner before the deadline.  But it appears that against all reason and logical they are still trying to get a deal done to keep him. Same crap different season.

A part of me wants to see him get a top 5 DE contract just to see this board have a meltdown.

 

Realistically I think we should seriously trade him for a possible upgrade at WR. Can we get Metcalf for Burns?

We would have to include a second or something.

Tag and trade. 
 

that nothing has been done by now feels to me that there are opposing factions within the organization. If everyone wanted him, he’d be signed by now. If he was universally unwanted, he’d be gone. I think the refusing of the Rams offer exemplifies this. Turning that down for a team desperate for draft picks shows that someone in the org has a big man crush. If Dave wanted him traded, he’d have been gone with that deal.

Isn't he technically a FA now? He's not under contract so we couldn't do anything until the window opens. Even if they wanted too.  Either way he gets the tag in a couple weeks.

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
