Brian Burns’s name was one that had been floating around the league prior to the NFL’s trade deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
However, as the league’s trade deadline came and departed, Burns remained in a Panthers’ uniform. While it appeared that another team might land the talents of the 2021 Pro Bowler, Burns never allowed himself to get bogged down on a future that did not include Carolina in it.
Instead of watching the flurry of trades and deals on TV being made on Tuesday, he was focused on staying with his guys in Charlotte.
“I wasn’t too much looking for it [trade deadline],” Burns said to panthers.
