I'm torn between both viewpoints here because both are valid.

It's fine to feel either way. But we can also be realistic and grapple with the possibility Burns has a career resurgence at his next destination. It's become like a Panthers tradition at this point.

It's a good debate and it's what makes this a hot topic.  Both views can be right and both have good points.  My final view is if the right trade is there take it IE the Baltimore trade.  If not, tag or try to extend if you can get a deal similar to the Sweat deal.  There are several variables to consider.  We just need a replacement plus capital if we trade him IMO.

Sorry, but the team/cap friendly re-signing choice wasn't a realistic option.  I thought about it, but if that were in the cards, a deal would have already been done by now.

No sweat. I’m more alluding to the fact that the best option already passed us by haha

Burns played scared and lowered his value. Montez Sweat was traded for a 2nd. Burns isn't worth more than that, especially with his down year. Burns was also never worth what the Rams offered, which shows how bad of a GM Fitt was. He should have taken that offer and giggled like a child thinking about how he just fleeced another team. GMs are going to wonder if Burns will slack off even more once he gets paid since he slacked off in his contract year and if he really wants to play football.

Please don’t make the same mistakes we made with cmc and Dj Moore.

trading them for less than their value.

They had the opportunity to do that with Burns last year. But we do what we do, piss it away. Only thing left to do now is start the search for a trade partner before the deadline.  But it appears that against all reason and logical they are still trying to get a deal done to keep him. Same crap different season.

A part of me wants to see him get a top 5 DE contract just to see this board have a meltdown.

 

Realistically I think we should seriously trade him for a possible upgrade at WR. Can we get Metcalf for Burns?

We would have to include a second or something.

Tag and trade. 
 

that nothing has been done by now feels to me that there are opposing factions within the organization. If everyone wanted him, he’d be signed by now. If he was universally unwanted, he’d be gone. I think the refusing of the Rams offer exemplifies this. Turning that down for a team desperate for draft picks shows that someone in the org has a big man crush. If Dave wanted him traded, he’d have been gone with that deal.

Isn't he technically a FA now? He's not under contract so we couldn't do anything until the window opens. Even if they wanted too.  Either way he gets the tag in a couple weeks.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing.

      Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
