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 

Burns is what he is by now. 4 years into the league is a lifetime. Good a rushing the passer. Ok and stopping the run. No more. No less. He isn’t going to get better. If they are ok paying for a pass rusher then great but let’s not act like he is the 2nd coming of Peppers. Pay him what you think he is worth and keep finding pieces around him.

The number over true elite defensive ends have steady dwindled over the last 2 decades. 

I really don't care about the consistent underrated that Burns seems to get here. 

He is a pass rushing specialist,  and is quite good at he. He's going to get paid. Period. That's how the NFL works. Simple laws of supply versus demands. 

This is also why I don't get hung up on contracts, because they are all overpaid. 

 

God Bless.

Should have traded him when we had the chance much like I said about Cam and CMC after they're huge years.

Now we have to pay the man for above average but not elite pay.

Get out of here with that reasonable take, you Hater™

And people wonder why we have a weak fanbase.

 

Fans like this who want to get rid of the homegrown talent we built up for some damn picks who we might not hit on like we did with Burns. You don't trade the guys you built up! Those are the guys you keep!

 

How do you expect to build this defense if we trading our most talented player on defense.

 

Make it make sense!

Being the 'most talented' doesn't always mean much, and 3 high-round drafts picks with an extra $20-30MM a year in cap space sure helps sure helps the building process.

By this logic no team should pay their elite players.

 

Burns is arguably the best player on the team.

 

Turn off the Madden. This real life bro.

Burns would have to become a monster impact player for me to change my mind about passing up on that trade. A desperate Rams team giving up those picks (about to be yearly basement dwellers) and the savings of not having the huge contract.

He's much better at the run then given credit for. top 10 in forced fumbles and sacks the last 3 years. Top 5 in pressures and hurries last 3 seasons as well. He's also on the field a lot more than the other players in the top 10 edge players and has been asked to do more than most of the others.

No, it's not - every situation is different and I'm talking only about Burns/the Panthers, a team that would benefit greatly from salary cap room and extra picks by not overpaying for one-dimensional, occasionally impactful, at-their-ceiling players as they reload for this year and beyond.

Here's a hot take for you - Charles Johnson as not the athlete that Burns is, but he was absolutely a more complete player and I had no issue with his contract though many did. Dude earned his money by contributing in every situation. Turn off the Madden. This real life, bro.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
