Probably a good point--but something is holding this up.  If other teams are involved, it would also be a waste of everyone's time to have a contract worked out before a trade was in place--I assume that Burn's agent gave the Giants a ballpark figure, and the devil is in the details.  I dunno because nobody does.

Yes, sorry, I didn't mean they had a full agreement already ironed out and in place, but they 100% already had a high level discussion and agreement on relative compensation.

There would be no point in the teams working out a deal, only to find out the Giants and Burns were too far apart to come to a deal.

It would literally waste everyone's time, the Panthers, the Giants, and Burns, so it just would never have gotten to this point unless the Giants and Burns were at least in the same ballpark.  While at the same time, the Panthers and Giants also had to be in the same ball park of compensation for it to get to this point.

None of that is to say it can't fall apart in the end, it's just saying that the threat of Burns blowing the deal up by refusing to sign his franchise tender so they can complete the trade, is a complete non-starter, as they're too far into the process for that to even be a concern to any party.

With us signing Hunt to a massive deal, I knew Burns was a goner. If we somehow end up with both their 2nds..Double up on WRs and grab a center?? Maybe a pass rusher to fill the void???

All the Panthers need is starting RB, TE, WR, WR, C, NT, DE, OLB, OLB, LB, NB, CB, and FS

*Could add QB, LT, and LG

Plus depth at QB, RT, OG, RB, S, CB, LB, MLB, DE, NT, CB, NB, LT, C, TE, Slot WR, WR, SS, OLB...

Sir Purr signed his contract extension so, we’re good there for several years.

There literally isn't a position we're set at

We have one elite player on the entire roster in Brown, but after that, there honestly isn't a player locked into a single starting spot as of this moment outside of Thielen, Bryce, and Horn.  One of whom is likely already a bust that we're forced to start, another hasn't been able to stay healthy, and Thielen is a slot WR who has maybe 1 or 2 years left in his career.

Even Moton isn't locked in as they could decide to cut their losses due to the cap hit if they can't re-work a deal.  Ickey isn't locked in at LT as they could end up moving him to LG.  And on defense, outside of Burns and Horn, I'm not sure we even have any average starters, so nobody is locked in to any spot yet.

I would add longsnapper depth, but that is just me.

sounds like it's not quite as close as Sheena indicated. 

also sounds like 6 is off the table which is a shame because I would actually take 6 overall in this draft over the Rams deal tbh

lol of course 6 is off the table

If 6 was on the table we would probably throw in cash to pay part of Burns' salary

I'd argue if Burns were draftable he would be the top rated defensive player in this draft even at his age soooo I would ask for 6

There are probably only a dozen non QB's in the entire NFL that a team would give up the 6th pick in the draft for when they know they then have to give that player a $25+ million contract to

And spoiler alert, Burns sure as poo aint one of those players.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
