The Carolina Panthers have been in the market for a veteran wide receiver as the team met with Michael Gallup last week and was scheduled to meet with Mike Williams before he agreed to terms with the New York Jets. There remains another option for the Panthers: Tee Higgins. So far, two players have received the franchise tag and then been trade by their former teams, Brian Burns and L'Jarius Snead. Neither players was traded for a first round pick. Overall, a second, fifth, and seventh round pick is all the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans had to part ways with in order to secure Burns and Snead, respectively. Given that fact, should the Panthers engage in trade talks for Higgins?

The Carolina Panthers are through one week of free agency and have added key free agents to both sides of the ball. From here, the Panthers will look to add a few more low cost veterans before shifting its focus to the 2024 NFL Draft. Before they do, how much have the Panthers improved across the first week of free agency? The Panthers have traded away Brian Burns and Donte Jackson, and lost out on Frankie Luvu to Washington. But the franchise secured the interior of the offensive line by signing Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, and added a talented former Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson. Julian Council assess how much each Panthers position group has improved or worsened since the start of free agency.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Carolina Panthers made a key trade on Tuesday evening by sending Donte Jackson and a sixth round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for Pro Bowl WR Diontae Johnson and a seventh round pick.

The Carolina Panthers continued their quest to rebuild the offensive line late Monday night by agreeing to a four-year, $53 million deal with former Seattle Seahawks LG Damien Lewis. The Panthers now have $89 million guaranteed to each of its offensive guard signings. Julian Council discusses what message this sends to Bryce Young. Monday was a difficult day for the Panthers defense as Carolina traded Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the Giants, watched Frankie Luvu sign with the Commanders, and parted ways with Vonn Bell. The defensive rebuild began in earnest on Tuesday as the Panthers came to terms with A'Shawn Robinson and Josey Jewell. Julian discusses the importance of each signing. Among the top needs for the Panthers is acquiring a top tier WR. So far, free agency hasn't yielded a ton of options as reports suggest that Calvin Ridley is between staying in Jacksonville or heading to New England. One option for the Panthers is trading for Bengals WR Tee Higgins, who asked for a trade on Monday morning

The Carolina Panthers ongoing contract negotiations with Brian Burns finally came to an end of the first day on the legal negotiating period as the Panthers sent Burns to the New York Giants in exchange for a second and fifth round draft pick. The Giants were willing to meet Burns' contract demands as they'll sign the two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher for a 5 year, $150 million deal, with $87.5 million guaranteed. Julian Council reacts to the Panthers moving on from yet another successful first-round pick. Burns won't be the only Panthers defensive star to depart as Frankie Luvu signed a three-year, $36 million deal with the Washington Commanders.

The saga of whether the Carolina Panthers would franchise tag star edge rusher Brian Burns ended Tuesday morning as the team announced its intentions to do just that. The tag for Burns became inevitable once it was clear that he and the team could not reach a long-term deal before the franchise tag deadline. The Panthers are utilizing the non-exclusive tag, meaning that Burns can negotiate with other teams and leaving open the small possibility that the Panthers could garner two first-round picks in a trade. Julian Council reacts to the Panthers decision and whether the team has any intention on extending Burns. The Panthers have begun shedding salary as the team reportedly is set to move on from TE Hayden Hurst. Hurst was one of the Panthers big free agent signings from a year ago but failed to produce when healthy then dealt with a concussion that cost him the final half of the season. Julian looks at other players who could become cap casualties over the next week. The free agent WR market continues to dry

The franchise tag waiting game is almost over for the Carolina Panthers and Brian Burns. According to several reports, the Panthers are expected to franchise tag the star edge rusher by the 4 p.m. deadline on Tuesday afternoon. Three questions remain. One, will the Panthers end up extending Burns down the road? Two, will the Panthers use the tag and then trade Burns? Three, will the Panthers utilize the exclusive or non-exclusive franchise tag. Julian Council discusses these three burning questions. One of the Panthers top free agent WR targets is off the board as Mike Evans will remain in Tampa Bay after agreeing to a two-year, $52 million contract extension on Monday morning.

As the franchise tag deadline approaches, it appears to be a likely conclusion for the Carolina Panthers and Pro Bowl edge rusher Brian Burns that the team will be utilizing the tag. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, the tag being placed on Burns is a "near certainty." Julian Council reacts to this news and what it means for the Panthers and Burns moving forward. While Burns is expected to be franchise tagged that does not mean that he'll be a Panther in 2024. According CBS Sports' Josina Anderson, the Panthers informed Burns at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that the team wasn't continuing contract talks with him at this time. Could this lead to the Panthers to tag-and-trade Burns?Plus, other significant intel that could impact the Panthers as free agency approaches. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
