Yes and no, I think people keep forgetting that we'd only be paying him top dollar for one, maybe two seasons.

It won't take long for the next batch of pass rushers to surpass the contracts.

Parsons is eligible for an extension next year, I'll bet any amount of money right now that he will sign a contract for more than Bosa.

Yeah thats true it does raise each year along with the salary cap so it does make it sting less long term

We need more pass rush regardless of what he signs for. Sure would be nice to find some gem in the draft with a hella ability to get to the QB lined up on the other side of Burns. Pressure constantly coming from both sides and some nasty pressure up the middle would be great. 

Agreed.

 

I do think Houston will help though. He's a situational pass rusher, but he still can rack up sacks even at 34 years old. Hopefully someone else on the roster steps up and fills that role.

Yeah I'm expecting TJ Watt/Joey Bosa numbers (27-28.5 mil/year) which is what the new reports are saying Burns camp is asking for. Front office is obviously trying to keep that number down right now.

I work in real estate and sellers constantly want to high ball while buyers constantly want to low ball but in the end they usually are able to meet somewhere in the middle and shake hands which is what I hope happens here. Both parties happy with what they got and both feel good about where they are

Yeah we definitely need more people to step up this year and even more hep next year due to not having a 1st rounder to draft help. Hopefully some good free agents may want to come here and not break our bank in the off season. Some more diamond in the rough Frankie Luvu guys would be great

I think its more about setting precedent because we have a ton of guys coming up that are going to want big money as well,  Fitt cannot just roll over and give whatever so it is weird they havent found middle ground yet

Some said he wanted 30-34 mil.

 

These rumors are making my head spin.

 

28mil seems reasonable given his age. He is our pass rush to be honest. I just want us to get this deal done so we have no distractions during the season.

Yeah 28m also gives him that "highest paid edge" name for however many hours/days it takes for Bosa to sign after him.

We usually don't hear about all the details in negotiations, but I would not be surprised if the actual sticking point is not guaranteed money (and how it is guaranteed) vs. base salary.  Seems like a lot of head-scratching contract situations come down to that. 

Burns may want $30M and the team may be at $24M, but if more of the $24M is guaranteed that could soften his position.....and vice versa.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
