Sign Burns already

Just spent like 20 minutes playing with the cap on spotrac and man...it's going to be very difficult to keep Burns, Luvu and sign a high profile name like Tee Higgins. 

 

Basically re-signing Burns and Higgins is going to cost in the neighborhood of 25 mill each. 

This probably deserves it's own post when I have more time to really delve into it

I signed Tee for 25 mill, Burns for 25 mill, Frankie for 10 mill, resigned JJ Jansen and had to do other things to barely get us under the cap. Now obviously NFL teams can structure contracts better than this but whew we do not have as much cap space as I thought. 

Now the good news is our team is terrible and they may just go scorched earth and cut a ton of other people.

Projected tag price for Burns would be 23,342,000 FWIW.

Tag seems inevitable. He’s not earned a major contract this season. It isn’t all his fault but this is a results business, and the numbers would suggest less than he’s worth.

you obviously can’t give him what he originally wanted, you can’t just continue to let talented players walk either 

i guess it’s good news. I figured earlier in the season that tagging him may get ugly. Now I’m guessing he’d probably rather bet on himself for a season. He could still get a major pay day in free agency but probably not max value.

Tag and trade him if we can get anything worthwhile. He is decent but he isn't anywhere near top of the league and does not deserve top of the league money. If someone else wants to pay him that then trade and unload him like last nights overly spicy dinner after having 3 cups of coffee and a bran muffin.

Agree with the tag trade. Use the money to extend Brown, Luvu, and see if YGM can come cheap. I’d like to make a run at Chase Young, but he is probably pricey. Someone like Za’Darius Smith could be a nice placeholder. Of course weapons and OL need to be a priority.

I think he is likely to refuse to sign if tagged. He bet on himself this season too and it was an absolute disaster for his market value. Better off shutting it down and forcing a move on our part.

I would like to see if we could get Chase Young if he turns out to not be extremely expensive myself. If he stays healthy he is quite a player.

      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...
