Did the Panthers make a mistake not trading Brian Burns for two first-rounders? KeepPounding
Despite the fact that Burns is only 24 and will likely be a part of Carolina’s team for years to come, the decision to pass on the trade will loom as a significant missed opportunity for the organization.
In opting to keep Burns as opposed to trading him away for two first-round picks, the Panthers are severely limiting their optionality as they enter their rebuild. Keeping Burns, whose contract expires after the 2023 season, signals that the team will sign him to a contract commensurate to that of what the Miami Dolphins just agreed to with trade acquisition Bradley Chubb : five years, $111.25 million in maximum value, with $62.5 million guaranteed.
The draft capital gleaned from this trade could have provided Carolina with incredible avenues to improve their team moving forward. Those first-round picks, had they landed high in the draft, could have turned into late first-round picks, second-round picks, and third-round picks, with trades.
