The New York Giants are finalizing a trade with the Carolina Panthers for star pass rusher Brian Burns. The Giants will send a 2nd and 5th round pick to acquire Burns, who will sign a 5-year deal worth up to $150 million with $87.5 million guaranteed. This trade marks a significant move for the Giants, adding an elite pass rusher to their defense.
It's not unusual for the initial numbers on a big deal to be tweaked before they become official, and it appears that's the case with the Brian Burns contract. His signing bonus is actually $35M (not $25M), which allows the Giants to backload the contract more than was initially… https://t.co/6jRvzpUmWp
