Panthers remove tag from CB Josh Norman

He would never play for us...top rated free agents have at least a little say in where they go. In my mind, he would NEVER go from a Superbowl playing team, to a team that is so far away from the playoffs, that we can't even PRETEND to see them.

But...we should still try, LOL. I don't care what the price is.

I think he would go wherever the money is.

The logical side of me says the FO won't spend big time money on a guy who will be 30 by time we have a competitive team.

I do think for him it IS all about the money. Obviously continuing to play on a Championship contending team is not important to him, or he would have stayed in Carolina.

I also think he may be surpised by the fact that there may NOT be any takers for his services at the price he wants.

And I'm guessing he just assholed himself out of 13 million bucks.

I doubt it. This FO is set on building through the draft and spending big money keeping guys we draft when their initial contracts are up

So they are planning for three or four years out? That's cute.

The most overrated position in the NFL is DB. Over the last 10 years we have seen DBs sign huge contracts and rarely live up to them. Most of the time the #1 DB is physically overmatched by the #1 WR and the rules are setup to favor the WR. You hope you get lucky and draft a couple of DBs over a few years and they pan out, aka Seattle, before they leave and sign a free agent deal with a team they won't help.

I wonder how far we'd be over the cap if we signed every swinging dick FA that someone on this board wanted.

I need to keep a list in 2017...

Actually, he assholed himself into 15 Million bucks. Times 5.

I am getting a distinct feeling a window closed for the Panthers and we won't see them in the Super Bowl again in the Cam Newton era.
