In a major move on the first day of NFL free agency, the New York Giants have acquired star pass rusher Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers in a trade. The Giants gave up a second-round pick and fifth-round pick to secure the services of Burns, who is known for his impressive performances on the field. In addition to the trade, the Giants are also said to be signing Burns to a lucrative five-year deal worth up to $150 million, with $87.5 million guaranteed. This move comes after the Panthers placed a $24 million franchise tag on Burns last week, indicating their desire to keep him on the team. With this acquisition, the Giants are hoping to strengthen their defense and improve their performance on the field in the upcoming season. This story is still developing and further updates are expected to be announced in the coming days. Stay tuned for more information on this blockbuster trade and the impact it will have on both the Giants and the Panthers in the upcoming NFL season.
