Probably aren't trading him.

Unless we give him permission to talk to other teams about a contract extension (like Lamar Jackson last year), we are keeping him.

The time to trade him is either before the draft, during is unlikely, after is pointless.

I believe the non-exclusive tag allows him to seek out offers. We can match or get two firsts.

This tells me that nothing has changed with this team. I do not want to hear Dan Morgan mention the word Dawg again. He's full of poo.

Yeah, that Tarzan chest pounding and Tool Time grunting may have worked at MLB, but not GM.  Burns is 25, so there is that--but I am not sure I would seek a long term deal.  Keep him for a season and see if you can find some others. I am also aware that we had some good edge rushers in Charles Johnson, Greg hardy, etc. that came of age in year 3.  MAYBE there is hope for Barno behind Burns--we shall see.  Leota was not that bad last season as an undrafted free agent, but he is more of a backup for YGM.  Johnson?  What the hell was that?  (BTW, he and Burns are the same age).

I hope that you're wrong, but keep a spot behind the podium for me to join you when I come to reality.

I hope I am too. But everything I'm hearing coming out in the press seems to indicate that the team seriously wants to keep him.

July 15th....clock is ticking, Tilis. Let's get this done. First hurdle is the NFL Draft, so if 0 is still a Panther after the draft, I think a LT deal gets done between then and July. No way they let a $24M hit remain in a very important offseason where adding talent is needed.

Why is this an important season? We barely got 2 wins last year. We aren’t fixing this team in one draft and FA. If we try to do that in one season we are basically repeating the last 6 years of futility. This is an evaluation year to see what pieces we have that are worth long term (Iky, Horn, Mingo and Young and the 2024 draft). Anybody not long term should be marketed if we can get something for them.

Also, FA is not where you add talent to a rebuilding team so the cap space shouldn’t be a concern. FA is where you should be adding the last pieces to the puzzle. We haven’t even unboxed the puzzle yet. If we are doing tons of restructuring so we can spend money now, we’ll be on a new coach and GM in a couple seasons. We need two successful drafts, before we worry about cap space and we are already missing 2 of our 4 top picks so we have to nail the drafts like the Rams did last year with no 1st.

You want him to walk for nothing? That is on Fitterer for turning down those trade offers. Morgan is in a no win situation here.

Personally, I think pressures are a more important stat than sacks because sometimes, the first to arrive and move the QB off the mark sends him into the arms of the last to arrive, who gets the sack.  I also would like a stat on how well an OLB holds the edge on a running play.  So maybe there is more to this than we see, but I get it--we live in the age now where college players do not attend bowl games in order to workout and not get injured.  Same basic concept?

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
