He is undoubtedly a top corner in the league when he’s on the field. The issue has always been he’s not on the field a lot due to injury. Not sure how that impacts the negotiations but if he didn’t have injury concerns I think he’d undoubtedly reset the CB market.

I can’t understand why he would reset the CB market above what Surtain makes.

I don't want to lose him because he is very dedicated to the team and an important presence. At the same time this defense has so many needs and we can't afford to break the bank on one corner while the rest of the defense is...well....sh*t.

I think this site over values him.  Is he our best DB yes and it ain’t even close.  Is he top 10 corner? I dunno had some games where teams didn’t look too scared to throw his way. And don’t get me started on the injury thing.  I’ll pretty much bet if we sign him to a big contract he doesn’t play half the year. I’m skeptical of players who seem to have good years when it’s contract time

He made the Pro Bowl after not making top 10 in fan voting. So that means players and coaches voted him in. I'd say we night underrate him.

He’s getting paid. There should be zero doubt about that. He’s not leaving Carolina, he’s a top tier CB and you don’t let them leave. 

He's a top tier QB who has a history of injuries. If he expects Surtain money, what do you think is going to happen?

im guessing about 20-22m/yr starting in 2026 and letting his 12m cap this year stay, like they did with Derrick Browns contract. Surtain and Ramsey have 24m average, and they're more reliable in playtime and availability.

Ideally, I think  starting it at 20m with incentives to potentially get to 22m if he can play a certain amount of games a year. Sometimes, the best ability is availability, and if he'd been healthy he'd be in the national radar more than just the Pro Bowl this year imho

Amazing all the fans on this board that continually want to overpay for players. Burns was overrated as hell and some on this board went into mourning when he got traded. Now he's doing fug all in new York and getting a huge paycheck. 

You don't pay an elite guy, elite money, to be elite half the time.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
