ARTICLE: 

The Panthers traded edge rusher Brian Burns to the Giants this month after initially using the franchise tag on him, but General Manager Dan Morgan thinks the team will be able to work out a way to keep another key defensive piece around for a longer stretch. 

Defensive tackle Derrick Brown is heading into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal and Morgan said that they have opened up negotiations about a new deal with the 2020 first-round pick. Morgan suggested those negotiations are moving in a positive direction. 

“I’m not going to put any timetable on it; we have had some good discussions with his agent,” Morgan said, via the team’s website. “But as of right now, we’re working through that, and hopefully, it ends up working out at the end, which I think it will.”

Brown was named a Pro Bowler for the first time after posting 103 tackles, two sacks, an interception, and six passes defensed during the 2023 season.

I'd like to see him locked up before the season starts.  Let's not play chicken here.  The guy's a beast.

What's his projected annual number? 17-23 mil?

I would guess 23-25 avg. 

Overall somewhere around 4 year 95-99m would be my guess.

LMAO 

 

He deserves 30 for putting up with this franchise under Tepper.

Nah. I'm an Auburn fan, but if we give him thirty it's an overpay. He's a top ten DT, but he's not top 5.

How is this not the #1 priority all things considered?  How hard could this possibly be?

[rayzor]

i don't think he'll be unreasonable and he has demonstrated his worth far more than burns.

i have no doubt that this will be a top priority, but it's nothing that needs done right now. as long as they are having good discussions and are in the same ballpark i think we are good. with burns, i don't think we were ever on the same continent with him.
