No one is coming to the worst team in the league with an unproven coach & quarterback.

Cap space is useless for this team. Without Burns we're going to have possibly the worst defense in the league next season, especially if the secondary continues to be made of glass.

I mean, Burns just isn't that guy.    He doesn't have that type impact on the D and defense.  

People wanting to dump comical money into a dude that was the best defender on the team......one season in his career? And that wasn't a recent one.

He's not elite, but damn we're going to be awful when he's out there. Next year's defense will be historically bad without having a legitimate edge rusher.

I mean, Carolina could go out and probably find a better all around DE if they want one.  Maybe we should just focus on adding more solid players, filling holes and getting a great working D schematically. 

Burns is best suited for a team that scores a lot of points.....and just pass rush all game.  And then he needs the interior play to aid him because his pass rushing game is just too one dimensional. 

Burns is great at one thing.  Meh at too many other aspect of the position. 

It's just bad business IMO to pay him given what we are and what we need to become.

That's what I'm not seeing though. I don't think Carolina can attract any free agents this year that won't be a massive overpay, if they can attract any at all. There's just no real incentive for a player to come to Carolina right now. Even after a good year it's been difficult for Carolina to bring in talent, with the exception of the 2015 season when it was clear Carolina was a contender.

I would just rather overpay a known quantity than an unknown, or worse ending up with a massive amount of cap space, but no one worth paying.

There is overpaying.....and then there is paying Brian Burns like an elite DE.    Would we have to slightly overpay some average joes and good dudes to come here? Sure.  Maybe.  But that doesn't handicap your team like Burns would IMO. 

We need lots of peices to fix this broken mess.  We are in quantity over quality mode IMO.  We need to build a functional O and a more well rounded D.

Heaven forbid that a rebuilding(should be tanking) team have some actual cap space to rollover into a year like 2025 when they have had a year to build some value and a solid core. What do you expect happen next year. Restructure and overpay to win 5 games? If that? Then what? Same thing again in 2025? Keep that cycle of success rolling like it has been. 

  Paying players too much just because they are on your team is exactly how this organization has hamstrung itself for close to 15 years now.

If he goes, they are just gonna reinvest the (deflated) proceeds into the Bryce Young project.

 If there is any point in continuing....

Burns does have some talent.

The truth though, is this right here: We can finish last without him, and that is probably where we would finish with him.

If he’s wanting 30 I have to think whatever we can do with YGM and what I assume would be a late first rounder for him would be more beneficial to the team then giving him 30 mil a year. If he would have taken a Crosby type deal I’d of been all for him but he is over valuing himself. I’m sure if he goes to a contender he will be on prime time games getting even more praise so will make us look silly even if in reality it helped us rebuild.

Panthers f*cked themselves not trading Burns to the Rams. Scott Fitterer is the worst GM in team history by a nuclear blast radius margin. 

Should have re-signed Reddick and traded Burns all along. 

It is uncanny how bad Fitterer just fuged everything he touched up. He literally made every wrong decision he could have made. 

Forget the Fhule excuse, Fitt failed when it was his call every single time. 

Dude should never work in the NFL again.

Make a fair offer for his production and don’t deviate. F morale. If he won’t agree, then trade him. Fitt is to blame for our loss in trade capital, and he has paid the price for his failure.

You can't trade him unless he accepts an offer.

Some rando called into Kyle Bailey’s show and said the Panthers didn’t offer Burns $27m, but instead it was ~$20M with “unattainable” incentives to get him to $27m

take that fwiw

Worth nothing at all

    • 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?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
