Maybe Burns should have not expected such a high amount. I am all for paying what players are worth, but some get greedy and price themselves out. 

[Aussie Tank]

Players can’t play it’s a business card then get sad if they get traded because they don’t get what they want. Offering Burns 27mill a year is fair and it’s fair for him to reject. But surely players understand as soon as teams realise players aren’t going to accept their best offer they’re going try and get maximum return for them and not let them walk for peanuts.

He wants $30 mill per year, Panthers previously offered $27 per year and that would have made him 3rd highest at his position. If we are going to give Hurney hell for his bloated contracts in the past. Morgan better not sign Burns for that much. Burns has not earned that money. Brandt Tilis, this is what you were hired to do! It'll be very interesting how Tilis handles this too.

Bullshit. They're not gonna care if the Panthers are offering THEM big money. Burns hasn't played on the field to match his hype. He's a good, but one dimensional pass rusher. The same thing he's been since he was drafted. He just hasn't developed as a player.

[The Lobo]

By not accepting the rams trade this team made their decision. Now if they trade him for less than what the rams offered, that’s a big fat L. They have to reach an agreement some way, although I think paying him 30 mil is too much. His production does not match that. If he gets it, good for him, get the bag.

Different leadership now. That gives them the out to trade him for less. Fitts couldn't.

[SmokinwithWilly]

You can't play like you're afraid of being hurt in what is essentially a contract year. Other teams are watching and Hurney isn't here to pay based on potential instead of performance. 

[Bear Hands]

Person's latest article had a tidbit below. 

Get ourselves (1) first, wash our hands, and look to the future.  A long term deal in CAR isn't coming to fruition and he'll still garner plenty of interest, just not at 2022 Ram' level.  Just tag and see what the offers look like.  There will be a return, healthy enough to just move forward and not find us in a Peppers' or Norman situation.  

Get done what needs to get done if he's not coming here long term.  And then you can have 2 picks in the top 33 again.  Would completely reshape how we could work this draft.  

Quote

While it’s unlikely the Panthers would get anything closely approaching the Rams’ offer from 2022, one veteran front-office executive believes teams would be willing to give up one first-round pick in a package for Burns.

She's skewing a lot. Yes Burns is good. He's not 30M dollar good though.

 

Lions need to call and offer Williamson a 1st and a mid round pick for him.

You don’t make decisions to save face of a fired GM. That would really be embarassing.

Oh there is no question about the loss. If we sign him for what he wants, it's a loss. If we sign him for what we offered, it's a loss. If we trade him for less than what the Rams offered, it's a loss. If he walks away for merely a compesetory pick, it's a loss.

The instant we turned that offer down, we lost. The only thing that needed to be answered was by how much.

[Jon Snow]

It's about time they stop rewarding mediocre players for mediocre effort.  Screw the moral in the building. Those guys have been one of the worst, and now the worst team the in the league. Its not all on the coaches as to why they suck. If they don't like it it gtfo. We've had too much of that attitude in the building for too long.

Great comments by JA.  So true.  Will say they have handled things in a player friendly way under Fitty.  CMC and Moore were more than happy with their situations.

But honestly this is a tough business and the team has to get everything it possibly can for Burns.  Time for being the nice guy are over
