Panthers End Extension Talks With Brian Burns

Mar 4, 2024 8:58 AM

The Carolina Panthers have ended talks with Brian Burns on a contract extension, according to a report.

The decision to put an end to those conversations came at the Scouting Combine last week. 

The Panthers picked up Burns' fifth-year option in 2023 and could still use the franchise tag ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

The edge rusher would be in line for a salary of $24 million in 2024 if he played under the tag and the Panthers would have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal with him.
