Yes, it's just normal aging that happens when you've had the meat in the fridge for a few days. It's quite safe.

If they aren't cooked yet then be careful. If the meat is starting to turn a little brown I would fry the burgers up by tomorrow.

My husband used to be a meat cutter in a grocery store and he says (to me all the time when I question him about it)...it's just aging because of where the air touched it. It is fine to use.

It's perfectly fine. That's just the meat oxidizing. Like apples turning brown if left out in the air for a few minutes. Different proteins and compounds react with the air. That will happen fairly quickly.

Trust your sense of smell. If it smells fine then it most likely is.
