REPORT: Panthers and Brian Burns not at all close to extension

[Wundrbread33]

There are always a few who get mad at the player who wants to get paid the most they can.

The longer this goes the more expensive it is going to get. I was all aboard the trade him train last year but now we have to get him signed.

The last 20+M/yr deal to an edge was Max Crosby an 23.75M/yr. Crosby is every bit as good a pass rusher and instead of being a liability on 40% of his snaps, he one of the best run defenders in the NFL. So how is Burns close to that value. The Steelers just gave Alex Highsmith 17M/year. After 14.5 sacks and a better run defender than Burns. So again, what is this magical value he holds at any price? 

You make some valid points but the fact they turned down what they did from the Rams tells you that they view him as more than a $17m a year player.

Burns will be holding out 

Told you

Is it weird that hearing this today makes me a tad more interested in our WRs (particularly Thielen) in my fantasy draft in a few hours?

If he holds out, that hurts the defense, we give up more points and end up needing to pass the ball more than planned/expected.  

Plus I absolutely LOVE Theilen in a PPR if it's a deep league like mine (12 teams, 2 flex, 7 bench) as he's going to get 4 for 40 minimum each game as Bryce's check down guy, can't ask for more from your injury and bye week filler guy from the bench.

The problem was it told Burns they viewed him as TJ Watt. Which he is not even close. His price went up about 7-8M/ year the minute they turned that deal down.

I just don’t get why now when he made a point to show up to camp. This is a little worrisome, but until he misses a game, it will be ok. 

[Jackie Lee]

He's in he building, just not physically involved

[Purrnicious]

There's no way he actually sits out of a game right? That would be crazy?

 

If he actually sits out the falcons game the entire season is basically tanked, we absolutely HAVE to win divisional games to stay relevant this year.

All the money I've spent on another year of season tickets thrown away again. 

 

If he doesn't play and we're 0-1 I'm making a trade Brian Burns sign for MNF. Don't care if all you get is a 7th at that point, I don't want a guy willing to tank the whole teams season.

He was under the impression that they would iron out a deal by the start of the season and it wouldn't be a problem

He's wanting Aaron Donald money. 5 years 150m with 80m guaranteed at signing with full guarantees hitting close to max value.

Burns has said nothing. His agent has said nothing. Yet we have Huddlerz who seem to know exactly what Burns wants. Man, that is some amazing intel.

[frankw]

Fitterer needs to get this sorted out. He's already going to be getting some harsh looks when reality smacks us in the head about our OL and WR depth. Can't piss off your best pass rusher too.

Wouldn't be the first time I've gotten contracts exactly right on the dot but hey... you do you.
