Burns to Detroit?

Very interesting.  I can definitely see this happening.  I mentioned before that Detroit was highly interested in Burns.  If Morgan pulls the triggers on this, we'll see just how shrewd he is.  IMO multiple 1sts should be the starting point.  Anything less we're not getting our money's worth. 

From Catcrave

Talks are ongoing between the Carolina Panthers and Brian Burns' representatives. His Instagram story this week led to speculation an agreement was close. Nothing has been confirmed one way or another, with general manager Dan Morgan keeping everything on the table to ensure the franchise doesn't get left empty-handed once again.

Interest in Burns would be extremely high, even in a tag-and-trade scenario. Nick Shook from Around the NFL highlighted the possibility of the Detroit Lions throwing their hat in the ring. Something that would give them another dynamic pass-rusher to put opposite Aidan Hutchinson.

"After winning their first division title since the Clinton Administration, Detroit has north of $50 million to spend to upgrade a team that is already a title contender. The Lions also happen to have one of the NFL’s great young talents at edge rusher in Aidan Hutchinson, but he can’t handle the pass-rushing job alone. The addition of Burns would produce a dream edge-rushing pairing in Detroit, and if there ever was a time to spend on a young talent who is just entering his prime, it’s now. Burns might finally get the credit he deserves by playing in a place other than Carolina, and the tandem could elevate a defense that was good at times, but too inconsistent to get them to the Super Bowl."

I like burns and with the cap increase feel pretty good about giving him 28M if he will meet there in the middle… but yeah if you can get Jamo + whatever guard/wr we take with their 29th that feels like a no brainer. There will be really good guards and WR both at 29 and 33. 
 

we would need a DE but I’d feel better addressing that in FA for a 1-2 year guy. We have to focus on the offensive weapons and interior of the line as priority #1

      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...
