Well fuck, time for me to move.

I need to keep a list in 2017...

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 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.

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.

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.

However, if you don't know Dave Gettleman is arguably a top 5 GM in this game right now and was instrumental in making the Panthers the SB contending team they are. Dave is known as using the Steelers approach of not overpaying players he feels aren't worth it, which in his case are CB's. Here's a pretty good article about it: http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/20477/the-philosophy-of-panthers-gm-and-demands-of-josh-norman-never-meshed

I say that to bring up the point that if this guy who actually knows what he's doing made this bold move he didn't have to make, something stinks. He could have hard-balled Norman into a position where he would have signed the tender, but he didn't. I don't actually blame guys for wanting to go get paid, but you have to consider these variables in a big way.

Does anyone seriously think that's what the browns are after?

He has great feel for receivers route combinations and isn't afraid to leave his primary assignment if he thinks the ball is going elsewhere.

Now, it does help that the panthers have played a solid amount of cover 2. But when they go to their c6 or qtr/qtr/half looks, he's done very well at the boundary spot.

I'm not saying that the Browns are building a team that puts the ball in the ref's hand all the time, but his attitude is a bit overboard. I just don't see Hue going after this guy.

As for the money Norman wants; he'll probably find a team willing but do they have cap space in April? Do the Browns have money for Norman and his giant ego?
