No, Brian Burns’ Instagram story isn’t a cryptic sign he’s headed to the Rams

Brian Burns had Rams fans excited when he posted a picture of a ram on Instagram, but it doesn’t mean anything

The Carolina Panthers are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, with plenty of assets to shop around the NFL. Chief among them are Christian McCaffrey and Brian Burns, who would both be good fits with the Rams.

On Tuesday, Burns sent Rams fans into a frenzy when he posted a video of a ram on his Instagram story. Immediately, some fans took that as a sign that he’s headed to the Rams in a trade – because that’s how social media works.

The post had nothing to do with football, but what else could he have possibly meant by posting that majestic animal?

It turns out, Burns just really likes animals! He saw all of the responses on Twitter and Instagram with fans speculating on a trade, so he had to clear things up.

He did so with a funny follow-up post.

As much as Burns would help the Rams, they probably won’t have the assets to acquire him in a trade. He’ll likely require several top draft picks, even more than Von Miller commanded last year.
