No, it's not, because it hurts the team more than Burns.

First, the 50k I'm pretty sure only applies to players holding out during camp and/or only vets on their 2nd or later contract, not players who are still on their rookie deals or during the regular season.

Second, the keeping of his 16M isn't a threat as he'd always show up in time to accrue the season, so he'll still end up with 4-6 of it in the end.  Plus, he's going to sign a monster deal by next offseason regardless, he's not concerned with losing 10ish million this year when he'll then sign a deal with about $100M guaranteed.

Again, we have no leverage whatsoever here.

50k fine applies to players on the 5th year option.

To be fair, he doesn't live in Charlotte or cover the Panthers anymore.

I wish he would go ahead and focus on the Texans instead of trying to get clicks off of the Burns situation

Burns is back at practice and says he plans to play. Why pages after pages about what he will lose when he has been at practice all this week?

Also, we can’t act like Kunkel was one of the more reliable reporters when he was here to begin with lol. He’s one of the only reporters outside of David Newton I remember having something named after him for having bad info

…..getting Kunkel’d lol

In order to play against Atlanta he would have to show up by Wednesday. I read he was at practice Wednesday. I think actions speak louder than words.  Did you hear he wasn't at practice Wednesday or today?

[CRA]

I mean, not even the HC nor DC can say he is playing….
