We're going to tag Brian Burns and try to keep him. 

https://www.thecoldwire.com/panthers-have-reportedly-made-a-decision-about-brian-burns-future/

We're not going to let Burns walk. He will be one of the highest paid at the position. This was probably  a fait accompli once the new cap was amnounced.

Now, whether a long term agreement can be reached is an entirely different story; so, we're really back to square one. I expect Burns to sign his tender and begin campaigning to be paid like a top three guy once again, notwithstanding a relatively down season. It would be nice if he were reasonable and we could wrap this all up, but who the hell knows where it's going? *Sigh*

Tagging him is definitely the right move with the big cap bump. But I'd definitely be prioritizing tag and trade as option #1. There's no way I'm giving Burns the contract he wants after last season when he disappeared for games at a time and openly admitted to basically mailing it in trying to not get hurt. If he threatens to hold out and you believe him then trade him for the best offer available and just move on.

I expect two tags and then he leaves in free agency when wd can no longer tag him. That is basically what I see transpiring.

It is kind of amazing how badly the team (general usage here) bungled this situation.

It really isn’t when you look back at Fitterer’s 3 year stint. We will likely have given up more draft value for Sam Darnold, a guy who was likely released after the draft (to avoid paying 5th year), than we will get back for Burns.

When you look back at all the shitty trades/non-trades, draft picks and FA moves, it’s not surprising at all that we fittered up with Burns.

That was a mind blowing cluster fug of an own goal right there. Yikes.

Well, honestly, he was right about Norman’s worth. He never can close to 2015’s career year and he certainly wasn’t worth the money the Redskins gave him. You would have hoped we could have gotten more value via trade, but no one in Washington was happy with that signing when it was over.

Remember the intense "who was the worst GM" debates about Gettleman vs. Hurney?

Those are dead forever. Fitterer so thoroughly lapped the field on that.

Lapped? Fitterer slit their Achilles before the race started and moonwalked his ass across the worst GMs to ever exist finish line. Ryan Poles and Joe Douglas were there to thank him again for saving their jobs and making people forget their horrible picks. John Lynch couldn’t make it because he was at the Super Bowl. He sent a very nice arrangement.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
