Brian Burns got traded last year after an 8 sack season and was franchise tagged. The panthers got #39 and moved up in the 5th swapping places and a 5th for 2025 draft. He has had double digit sacks once in his career. And they had to give him a giant contract.
They are going to be stubborn and not give him away for cheap. And I don’t blame them.
The reason the asking price is so high is because we don't want to lose him. This has been obvious from the start. Now, if someone wants to make a Herschel Walker or Ricky Williams lopsided trade offer? Sure, OK. But we are not interested in a fair trade for Trey. Only a super lopsided one.
He & Chase are under contract. Tee has been tagged. I wish we'd have done this last year, or earlier this year. It would have been cheaper and we'd have more cap room. And perhaps Burrow's reatructure is contingent on these extensions?
We still have arounf $20 mil in cap. There are still some good FA's out there. Let's,get thesexdeals done and upgrade at guard for sure. And maybe more if we free more space.
