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.

Let him walk now for the comp pick.  Why do we want him here 2 more years when he doesnt want to be here, isnt a "dawg" and has already talked about playing not to get hurt last season?  He going to get over that and magically play hard on these 1 year franchise tags?  Trade him or cut bait.

   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. 

Well of course whoever the trade partner is will have to negotiate first. I was not implying that a team would trade solely for the ability to negotiate with him on a tag. There are teams out there that will pay him 27-30 million per year and send more than just a 3rd round pick to make their deal happen. See Chicago’s deal for Sweat.

 Sweat was 24M, and still had half a year at only 5M. In the same situation(but making less) as Burns. And he went out and led two different teams in sacks while being one of the best run defenders at edge in the NFL for years. Burns disappeared while trying not to get hurt. So who would give him more AND picks?

He has only signaled that he wants to be here. Didn't it come out via his agent last year that he's a homebody that has no desire to move?

I'm critical of Burns but if there is evidence he doesn't want to be here I missed it

Go for a 2025 first rounder--gives you cap room now and you get a player next season.  Teams are much more willing to trade a first 13 months before the draft than 1 month.  I know we need it now, but do we?

Love it.   1st next year and maybe a 2nd this year?  Sold.

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

I think we’ve all seen firsthand that trading a good player for a 2/3/4 isn’t really worth the compensation

He wants to get paid.  he says whatever is in the best interest of getting paid.  Most likely to overpay naturally is Carolina.  So he says what he says. 

I’m personally ready to part with him

- not well rounded for a big payday.  He is all speed pass rusher and practically nothing else.  

- doesn’t bring that TD/Luke dawg leadership.  Morgan says we lack dawgs.  Well, we lack that with Burns and he has been a default leader because of talent

Not to continue to dwell, but how the hell did we not get at least a *future* first for CMC, lol?  Firsts are gold, 2/3/4 is not (especially for us).

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.

Oh that would be lovely to get, wouldn't it?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
