Personally, I would at least look into trading for this guy, along with possibly signing Eric Fisher, which could take care of two massively important positions long-term while boosting our SB chances. As I said elsewhere, would Fisher be open to playing Guard? It would extend his career and I don't doubt he would be a pro bowl type player in our scheme if he can stay healthy, which I don't see why not.
"The Panthers have exercised their fifth-year option on Burns’ rookie deal. His base salary in 2022 is $2.3 million — so for the remainder of the season, his Kansas City cap hit would only be about $1.3 million. In 2023, his cap hit would be $16 million — which is pennies for an edge rusher. Just as they did with Orlando Brown Jr., the Chiefs would likely need to let Burns play on his rookie deal and then work to extend his contract in the offseason. But even if they don’t end up getting a deal done, $16 million is a very good price point for him — and in 2024, the franchise tag would still be an option"
With a potential fire sale underway in Carolina, Kansas City has an opportunity add an elite pass rusher.
