Panthers going all in on Brian Burns after turning down two first-round one second round draft pick from Rams

The went for it with . They really, really went for it.The defending Super Bowl champs have finally been revealed as the team that offered two first-round picks for pa s rusher Brian Burns. But that wasn't all.The Rams put up Jean Segura Jersey their 2024 first, 2025 firsta 2023 second-round pick in an attempt to secure Burns from Carolina. The Panthers and GM Scott Fitterer, as we know, said no.It's a significant package Carolina turned down, albeit one that was easier to reject with no 2023 first-round pick. A Carolina source told CBS Sports the team didn't like its prospects of replacing Burns any time soon. "When you look at free agency and the draft, there's not a lot coming up, especially compared to Greg Luzinski Jersey the player Brian is," the source said.

Not dealing Burns for a haul like that indicates the Panthers are sure to make Burns one of the highest-paid pa s rushers in the NFL this offseason, well above the $110 million extension just received from the .There's also the matter of the me sage it would have sent to the players in the Dave Hollins Jersey Carolina locker room. With an interim head coach, no quarterback of the future on the roster, the Panthers could ill-afford to ship out another blue chip player in the same month while looking the remaining players in the eye and tell them they're still trying to win games.The sort of offer for Burns further indicates the all-in nature of the Rams. L.A. hasn't used its own first-round pick since drafting in 2016, and this deal would have likely meant the Rams wouldn't have had a first until a full decade later as it Nick Pivetta Jersey continues to maximize the remaining time it has with head coach Sean McVay and defensive tackle .
