NFL insider: Brian Burns' extension could be close to Myles Garrett's deal

Article:

There’s no question that Brian Burns is about to get paid, and the Carolina Panthers certainly seem intent on starting up those new checks pretty soon. But what are the numbers on those checks going to look like?

According to NFL insider Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Burns’ expected extension should surpass what the Miami Dolphins gave fellow pass rusher Bradley Chubb last year. Heck, it could even approach what star Myles Garrett has from the Cleveland Browns.

Meirov writes:

Brian Burns is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the Carolina Panthers have made it abundantly clear he’s a big part of their future.

The Rams offered two first-round picks and a second-round pick for Burns before last year’s trade deadline, only for Carolina to decline. The Bears then wanted Burns in offers for the No. 1 overall pick, but Carolina made it clear he’s off-limits.

The former first-round pick out of Florida State led the Panthers in sacks last season with 12.5 and has totaled 38 sacks during the first four years of his career. The team has big plans for him as it transitions from a 4-3 base defense to a 3-4 under new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

An extension for Burns should surpass the five-year, $110 million deal Bradley Chubb signed after he was traded to Miami, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if it hovers around Myles Garrett’s $25 million AAV.

That $25 million annual value currently ranks as the third-highest average amongst all edge defenders. Only Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt ($28 million) and Los Angeles’ Joey Bosa ($27 million) are raking in more cash per year.

Now, yes, Burn’s production and overall game may not yet be on the same level as that of a Watt, Bosa or Garrett. But if you’re doing good business, sometimes you’re paying for what you’ll get—not for what you’ve already gotten.

And if the Panthers have already gotten a two-time Pro Bowler in Burns, they could be getting a whole lot more out of the 25-year-old and his ascending stock.

Good

Considering where the cap ceiling is going…. That is a very fair deal both ways. 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

He'll definitely be getting more than Chubb (28.5 sacks over 5 years)

[pantherclaw]

In before

 

The number in overpaid!!!!

 

Lmao

I like Burns as a pass rusher, but we have been talking about what he is going to develop into since his rookie year and he is still basically the same player. 

I dont agree with giving a pass rush specialist complete DE money, but it is too late now, our only choice is to sign him.

A perfect example that nobody disrespects Panther players more than Panther fans. 

 

Just for giggles. What would you pay Burns?

Nobody is going to say Burns is on the same level as Garrett, Bosa, or Watt. Ok maybe Panthers homers will....

I already said they have to pay him and the rate will be 25m per year, I dont see him getting less....No way we can let him walk for nothing.

So all of this is because Brian isn't the Bestest Edge in football? What is that? Reverse Homerism?

All of what? I like Burns, I already said that. Im sorry i dont hype our guys up to be something they arent? 

He could still develop though, he has been playing under the big top for the past few years...Now he will have a chance to show what he can do in a actual NFL scheme. The OLB role should suit him better in theory. 

The upside is he should be in his prime for the entirety of this next contract.

Let him Play this year and see if he becomes a more complete player with proper coaching in his new role.  If so, tag him (currently 20M) then make him prove it for a second year.  Then sign long term if he shows he can be a 3 down player effectively
