The Carolina Panthers' reported deal to trade linebacker Brian Burns to the New York Giants appeared to be the final straw for country music star Luke Combs.
The Panthers traded Burns and the defensive star agreed to a five-year, $150 million extension, according to multiple reports. Immediately after that news, Combs let his fandom flag fly.

“WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!?” he wrote in a post on X directed at the Panthers. “There was no first round pick for McCaffrey a few years ago and now none for Burns?!?!
“Are we just bombing the entire team here or what? I usually don't comment on this kind of thing, but at this point it's becoming a slow torture.”
Carolina received a second- and fifth-round pick in the deal with the Giants for Burns, according to NFL Network.

For McCaffrey, the Panthers traded the star running back to the San Francisco 49ers for second, third and fourth round picks. That deal was completed midway through the 2022 season. Since then, McCaffrey has been one of the best offensive players in the NFL.
Carolina traded its 2024 first-round pick to the Chicago Bears last season to acquire the No. 1 overall pick in 2023. The team selected Bryce Young with the pick. But the Panthers finished with the worst record last season and the Bears have the No. 1 pick this year.
