I can&#8217;t give a thousand percent on the field and to my teammates if I&#8217;m still worried about contract negotiations. I feel like I owe that to them to be 100 percent, a thousand percent at all times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Former Bears RB Tarik Cohen planning to sign with Panthers practice squad after two seasons away due to injury            <\/li>\n<li>              Week 2 NFL picks: Who wins juicy Ravens-Bengals bout?

Rams, Texans each boast two picks            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Burns turned in a great performance that exemplified his worth in Week 1 against the Falcons, recording two sacks, two tackles for loss, one forced fumble and a QB hit. The two-time Pro Bowler played in 46 out of the team&#8217;s 48 defensive snaps in the defeat, per Next Gen Stats, which clarified any questions of his standing with the team.<\/p>\n<p>Burns&#8217; status ahead of the season opener was uncertain due to his contract dispute with the club. As Week 1 approached, he saw 49ers pass rusher Nick Bosa agree to terms on a five-year, $170 million extension, the latest contract to fall in line with the annual salaries of fellow elite pass rushers like T.J. Watt (around $28 million), Joey Bosa ($27 million), Myles Garrett ($25 million) and Khalil Mack ($23.5 million), per Over The Cap.<\/p>\n<p>As Carolina is set to host the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, Burns is looking to take advantage of the spotlight with contract talks &#8220;on hold&#8221; and aims to once again prove he deserves to be paid among his contemporaries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In these prime-time games, everybody&#8217;s watching,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s always a goal to show them what you can do and put the league on notice. But I want to put the league on notice more from a defensive standpoint than just myself. I want them to know how we are on defense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/panthers-pass-rusher-brian-burns-says-contract-talks-on-hold-focused-on-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Burns&#8217;
