For the second straight year, Carolina Panthers star pass rusher Brian Burns was in demand before and at the NFL trade deadline, with at least five teams inquiring about dealing for the two-time Pro-Bowl linebacker, sources told ESPN.

The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers -- two teams that wound up acquiring other pass rusher before the deadline -- both expressed interest in Burns this year, sources told ESPN.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens also reached out to the Panthers about Burns, according to sources.
