In all the hypothetical talks of a possible trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, one name that most Panthers fans agree should be off limits is Brian Burns. As the most recent Super Bowl showed, an elite pass rush can throw off even the best quarterbacks. With that revelation, pass rusher contracts have skyrocketed in recent years, especially for younger players like Burns. The good news for the Panthers is that teams cannot renegotiate a rookie contract until after the player has accrued three full seasons, so they don’t have to worry about this year’s cap.
