Country Music Star Luke Combs Rips Panthers For Brian Burns Trade, 'What Are We Doing?!'
Luke Combs Rips Panthers For Brian Burns Trade ... 'What Are We Doing?!'
Luke Combs is done trying to make sense of what the Carolina Panthers are doing with the team -- the last straw was the Brian Burns trade -- and now the country music star is going in on the squad!
"Panthers, WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!?" the 34-year-old said in a message to the organization on X.
"No first-round pick for McCaffrey a few years back and now none for Burns?!?! Are we just firebombing the whole team here or what?"
If you missed it, the New York Giants traded for the 2x Pro Bowl pass rusher on Monday (and then signed him to a massive $150 mil contract), sending the Panthers a 2nd and 5th-round pick in return in the upcoming NFL Draft (they also swapped 5th rounders in '24 and '25).
Clearly not the haul Combs would expect for a premiere player who can get to the quarterback.
This trade comes almost two years after the Panthers sent Christian McCaffrey, one of the NFL's best running backs, to the 49ers ... and Luke's had it!
To add salt to the wound, Panthers fans had to watch their former RB star in Super Bowl LVIII in February.
"I usually don’t comment on these kinds of things but it’s just becoming slow torture at this point," Combs said to end his message.
The Panthers -- bought by Wall Street wiz David Tepper in 2018 -- fired head coach Frank Reich before he finished season 1, and had the worst record (2-15) in the NFL.
