Story No. 1
Carolina Panthers will work out Brian Burns' extension
Scott Fitterer stated earlier this offseason that when the team's draft commitments conclude, one of their biggest remaining priorities will be to work out a bumper new contract extension with Brian Burns. The defensive end is an integral part of the Carolina Panthers' plans long-term and after another standout campaign in 2022, this is going to be a significant sum.
The general manager seemed pretty confident everything would work out in the not-too-distant future when speaking to the media recently. Hopefully, complications will be kept to a minimum and the former first-round pick out of Florida State can continue evolving into one of the NFL's most prolific pass-rushers.
