Burns was franchised last year.
If Carolina wants to go that route again, they gotta pay even more. I think it might be around $25/mil. That's a lot to be counted towards the cap. Too much for Carolina.
it's not the money --- they would pay whatever for a year ... it's that they don't want to sign him longterm, I guess ... they wanted to deal him last year. So, if they want to get anything for him (midseason trade) they'd have to
But, they could just want to cut ties and not try and get any trade value. With a new coach, whoever it is, and the scheme ... I still think they could. Doubtful? Yeah. that's probably right. But not impossible. What makes it tricky is he'd want to holdout if they tagged him again.
