Luke Combs has had it.
On Monday, the Carolina Panthers parted ways with yet another marquee name—trading two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the New York Giants. The deal for the talented outside linebacker brought back a 2024 second-round pick, a 2024 fifth-round pick swap and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
And Combs, a well-known Panthers fan, doesn’t seem to be digging the decision . . .
.@Panthers WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!? No first round pick for McCaffrey a few years back and now none for Burns?!?! Are we just fire bombing the whole team here or what? I usually don’t comment on these kinds of things but it’s just becoming slow torture at this point.

The country music star also still doesn’t appear too keen on the organization’s trade of Christian McCaffrey back in 2022. That swap with the San Francisco 49ers got Carolina three picks in 2023 and one in 2024—none of which were first-rounders.
While he was one of the game’s premier rushers as a Panther, McCaffrey has emerged into superstardom out west—as an NFC champion and the 2023 AP Offensive Player of the Year.
So if Burns achieves similar success in the Big Apple, Combs might want a ticket to anywhere but Bank of America Stadium.
