For those who interpret the letters “N-F-L” as “not for long,” the conversation about money can almost never come up too early. And it won’t be long until the Carolina Panthers will have to talk guap with Brian Burns.
The speculation surrounding an extension for the talented pass rusher unofficially began as soon as the team picked up his fifth-year option on April 29. Then, the topic was a tad more apparent when head coach Matt Rhule was questioned about Burns’ absence from the Charlotte facility two weeks ago—which was much ado about nothing anyway.
Regardless, the time is fast approaching for the top talent of the 2019 NFL draft class to cash in—Burns, obviously, included. So, as the landscape of the league looks today, how much would the Panthers have to potentially fork over for the newly-turned 24-year-old?
