Brian Burns Won't Discuss Contract During The Season

Carolina Panthers linebacker Brian Burns won't discuss a new contract during the season. "We haven't really been in talks," said the multi-time Pro Bowler on Saturday. "I told them once the season started, I'm all about ball." Burns began the year with a bang, totaling seven tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble in the Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 2019 No. 16 overall pick is playing under the fifth-year option of his rookie agreement and will earn $16 million this season. Without a doubt, he'll draw plenty of attention next offseason.
