The Carolina Panthers have used their franchise tag on edge rusher Brian Burns, the team announced Tuesday.

The move means Burns will make at least $24 million for the 2024 season.

Burns, 25, is coming off an 8-sack season in 2023.

The 2019 first-rounder has 46.0 sacks in five seasons and has been to two Pro Bowls. He's one of just five players in the league to record 7.0 or more sacks in each of the last five seasons.

The only player in franchise history with more sacks in their first five seasons was Julius Peppers (52.5 from 2002-06).

The Panthers haven't used the franchise tag since 2021, when they put it on right tackle Taylor Moton and eventually signed him to a long-term deal that summer.
