As intimated by Dave Gettleman's comments, the Panthers are rescinding Josh Norman's franchise tender with the intent of parting ways.

Figure it out Dallas

I wish!

Will the Lawrence 4 game suspension force us to draft Bosa even if Ramsey is on the board? Please say no

This is all Hardy's fault

 

[essential1]

I would make a serious run at Josh Norman.. Not even joking.

Structure his contract to be low year 1.

Cut Carr & Church to make it work.

 

[hadowajp]

The dudes 28 and his deal will end up way worse than carrs in two years


He wants 16 per over 5 years nah I'm good

this aint Revis we talking about. he is going to want a real 5 year 16 million dollar deal with guaranteed money. not that revis with tampa bay type of deal .

you're drafting a guy this high to be on your team for the next 10 years or so right? if Ramsey is the better fit and talent they go for him know matter what is going on with the DE this offseason . 

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

But a team with Jones, a healthy Scandrick, Ramsey, and Norman. GOD DAMN.
That's' a ticket to AT LEAST a top 10 secondary.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

That'd be a dream..

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

Anyway we shoot back up to top 12ish with our second rounder and some other picks?

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

or top 20ish...

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

Ok so I've read that it's not for a qb....then who? Zeke?
If so.. I'm not sure how I feel about that...
What if Bradford balls out though?

 

[bigty23]

Where you read its not for a QB?

 

[essential1]

I disagree that Norman would be a risk.

If you look at the top 20 cornerbacks. The amount of Guaranteed Money is 71% (Richard Sherman) to 33.60% (Joe Haden). Don't see any team fully guaranteeing a 5 year deal at that money.

The vast majority in the 52-56% range.

If you offer him 5 year / $75mil, which would make him the highest paid cornerback. And guaranteed him 71% of that contract.

It comes out to only $53.25mil guaranteed.


You can get out of it after 4 years. Also more specifically we're signing him to maximize a current window we have right now today. We have a small window right now, after that, we have such a huge question mark for our future that we gotta strike now. Especially knowing that we have the OLine to carry an offense. And that line is likely not going to stay together forever.

You also win one now OR try to. It gets Romo, and gets Witten out of here quicker. So we can ease any brunt of Norman's deal.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

I guess it can be interpreted many different ways..

How much is Norman's success last year is attributed to his front 7? He just seems like he's not worth what he's asking for after one good year and his age.

At the right price though....

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

Just don't want to be burned like Carr..

 

[bigty23]

Yea thats definitely open to interpretation. I just cant a understand why they would give up all that for Ramsey or Zeke, when there was a chance for them falling to the eagles.

 

[bigmike23]

5 years 75 million for a guy coming off 1 elite year? and had a elite pass rush? and played a lot of cover 2 or had over the top safety help? 

if he was the cowboys missing piece then fine. but we cant give him that kind of money with all the other holes we have.

He isn't Deion Sanders. If so I'd say bring him on for a hit-it and quit-it ala 94 Niner's. No matter the cost.

 

[bigty23]

Norman aint worth it, Seattle's front 7 is what helped him have that type of year last year. We dont wana get burned like the Eagles did with Byron Maxwell. ..

 

[essential1]

I wanted to post the Steve Buscemi gif from the movie Airheads where he is flipping off the cops as a symbol of my opinion on all of your opinions on Norman...


But I'll keep it civil.. Just imagine I posted that

 

[jmause3]

Im just hoping that they dont panic and pick Bosa because Lawrence may be suspended

 

[essential1]

I've seen about a half dozen recent mocks on CBS & NFL.com that has us taking Ramsey at 4

 

[Benny Hinn]

Ramsey, Bosa, or Elliot is what I'm seeing in most mock drafts.

Boys should just trade down if Tunsil falls to them. Some team will be desperate for him if he falls.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

My girl bought tickets to the home opener

 

[essential1]

Not saying Elliot is a bad player... If we were where we were for last year's draft, but in this year's draft slot... He'd be # 1 on my list.


But our problem wasn't running last year. Had McFadden been starting all season, he would have had even better than a Top 5 RB performance. That plus if we had ever gotten close enough to score as well.


This team has the pieces to win if Romo is healthy. After that, there's no guarantee of anything. Elliott doesn't make us a better team this year or next. Jalen Ramsey does.
