BRIAN BURNS SITTING OUT PRACTICE AMIDST CONTRACT CONCERNS

It’s a team sport and by not participating he is effecting the team. Rules are rules was the way I grew up.

Let’s play ball, not the time for business, at least for the player, his people can handle that. But what do I know.

I agree a hundred percent. Now the question has arisen here and there that the Panthers could trade him they don't reach an agreement.
