ESPN: Panthers Rejected Lucrative Brian Burns Trade; Won't Deal DJ Moore, Core Stars

The Carolina Panthers reportedly rejected a trade offer of two first-round picks for standout defensive end Brian Burns, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 24-year-old Burns, who has four sacks this season and 29.5 sacks overall through 54 career games, reportedly is not on the trading block. Per Schefter, he is expected to "land a massive extension" this offseason.

In addition, Carolina has no plans to trade wide receiver DJ Moore, defensive lineman Derrick Brown and cornerback Jaycee Horn.

The 1-5 Panthers, who sport the league's worst record, have already made a few seismic changes this year with an eye toward the future.
