Josina Anderson said we told him at the combine we aren't continuing negotiations lmao

 

 

I mean, what's left to talk about? He and his team have their number and we're not willing to go there. Probably not even close to it. When they first started talking extension it was reported that Burns wanted "close to $30M per". If I recall correctly it later came out that Burns was looking for $27M and we were at $23-24M. With the bump in cap, I get Burns is on $30M now and after this past season the Panthers are probably getting cold feet on $24M.

Burns was reportedly offered 27 mil. This is why I became so disgusted with him. That was really more than fair.

We should trade him and move on.

 

It's kind of sad they haven't come to an agreement after a full year. What I don't understand is how do you turn down that trade offer from the Rams if you knew a contract wasn't going to be realistic.

 

Just shows you how dumb Fitt was as a GM.

Fitt has a resumé of bad moves. Not accepting that trade offer was GM malpractice.

So far ive heard 2 rumors from the dan morgan era.  They are probably going to cave and overpay burns because the cap increase and they keep talking to the big receivers that dont get seperation in the draft.  I strongly disagree with both of these moves and I never liked promoting Dan.  I always felt like we needed a full refresh and this is just confirming my fears.

      I can't speak to the sample size on the double ACL tears, I could look into it but I am unsure about the quality of data I am able to find. Anecdotally, I don't think that is common for sure.  Well one giant red flag for Dobbins is that of the 3-5 serious injuries he has had in his NFL career, 100% of them have been the same leg. That's not good and it doesn't bode well for his longevity at all. As I have said several hundred times in this forum(in this case it will be in regards to Thomas Davis), outliers are memorable for a reason....because they are outliers. You don't base your decision making on outliers. That's.....stupid. I am also not high on Etienne but he does play special teams and Brooks does not. Currently, I couldn't blame anyone in the FO for choosing a 3rd string RB that can play special teams and has actually played more than 23 career snaps in the NFL in 2+ seasons.  I am not advocating for cutting Brooks but I don't think it's a player I would consider for anything other than a 3rd string role(and likely competing for it, at that) if I am building a roster for 2026. It's not like they are going to get to see him at 100% in 2026.

      I'm not going to argue against black helmets, but love our silver helmets. No one has anything similar. If you took all the logos off all 32 team's helmets, you could pick out our helmet easy.
