  1. Hoping whatever happens it is settled before the draft. This going into training camp and the regular season for a second straight season would just be extremely frustrating.

  2. Hopefully we can still get a long term deal worked out. Would really prefer not to create a hole at one of the most valuable positions in the nfl with our 20 other holes we have coming up and our sub par draft capital.

  3. Why not go with non-exclusive franchise tag, let another team offer him a deal and we can match or get two 1st round picks?

  4. Looking forward to another single digit sack season for a “premiere” edge rusher.

  5. Good deal for the team. Burns had a better offer, but wouldn’t take it.

    Can’t get a better free agent edge for $24m

  6. Officially the non-exclusive tag. So that means this likely continues and Carolina uses this as a bargaining chip for negotiations. Or they draw enough interest and find a trade candidate.

    If the negotiations extend past the draft, it likely means he’s here to stay. If an extension does get done I think it’s most likely that he does extend during or after the draft, similar to the Lamar situation

  7. Trade announcement incoming. The Panthers dont have that 24m in cap space and lots of holes on offense.

  8. Wait, can’t we also tag him next year for like 30m? I swear Washington did that to Kirk Cousins
