Panthers officially announce that they have used a non-exclusive tag against Brian Burns
Non-exclusive tags means that the contract must be no less than the average of the first five salary hits at that player’s position or 120% of the player’s salary the previous season, whichever is greater. However, unlike the exclusive tag, the player can negotiate with other teams and, if he receives an offer, his current team has the opportunity to match it. If the team decides not to match, it is entitled to receive compensation equal to two first-round picks of the signing team.
The Panthers have been reluctant to trade Burns, but they also haven’t given him the long-term deal he seeks.
Carolina, which reportedly turned down two first-round picks and a second-round pick from the Los Angeles Rams for Burns in 2022 and didn’t trade Burns before the deadline last year, clearly wants to keep Burns. He has at least 7.5 sacks in each of his five NFL seasons. He was a first-round pick of the Panthers in 2019 and one of the team’s few stars.
But finding common ground for a contract has been difficult.
