From two 1sts to a 3rd rounder lol. 

 

A single 3rd this year is laughable.

The Panthers can comfortably franchise him two years in a row while they get his replacement ready, let him walk in 2026 (when he is getting ready to start his age 28 season), and still get a 3rd as a comp pick.

Blame Tepper.

 

This is what you get when you become the worst team in football. Even the GMs are gonna screw you over just because this has been a poo show. I can totally see this being true. Nobody is going to pay Burns a lot of money + give up a high draft pick just to acquire him. Burns stock is down from a few years ago.

 

At this point I think we have to keep him for the next 2 years. Maybe someone changes their mind if his play improves during that time.

If all we get is a second or a third, you gotta extend him,  that is insane.

No one wants to pay anything for players, period. So ofc an anonymous exec is gonna say something like that.  Unless it's their player and they wanna get the maximum return lol.  So is the way of the NFL.

Seattle got a 1st and 2nd for Frank Clark not too long ago and he was given $105m over 5 years. The salary cap has increased by $70m since then as well. That "league source" should put down the crack pipe.

The writer must have been sharing it to not do a little research into the matter aswell

A third round pick is a joke. There's no way a "league source" would think a third rounder would be equal compensation unless your "league source" really wants Burns to stay in Carolina. 

Burns could go for a late 1st, pair of 2nd rounders, or a buffet of 2s/3s/4s. He isn't going anywhere for a single 3. The salary cap doesn't matter because whoever gets him will have to extend him anyways, you're paying to be the one that has the right to extend him for the next 4-5 years.

The reporter in question is just embarrassing herself at this point, her agenda is obvious. Really weird overall. Didn’t she used to be a good source, or do I have that wrong?

yeah, Sam Darnold went for a 2nd.  There are 31 teams in the NFL.  Someone would give up a 2nd.  Maybe for a team that doesn't need him the value is a 3rd.

I would guess a pairs of 2s (2024/2025) or some combination of 2s, 3s, 4s over the next two years.

Anything less than a low first round pick I would simply retain the tag and keep it pushing.

   No one is doing anything unless he accepts a contract proposal from another team. No one is trading for his rights. He won’t sign the tag if he doesn’t get what he wants. His floor, is showing up right before the season, playing to stay healthy, and collecting his 24M for a 4 win team. He can wait on anything else and hold for an unrealistic price. The team that knows him best, and put his “price” at what he thinks it is, won’t pay him what he wants. But you expect another team to give him 30M/yr with 70M guaranteed, AND give up a 1st and maybe more? I’d like to see what team will accept that.
