    Panthers GM Dave Gettleman said he is comfortable going into the season with cornerback Josh Norman playing with the franchise tag if a long-term deal can't be reached. Gettleman and Norman's representative have met at the NFL owners meeting in Boca Raton,Fla., but remain far apart on average salary for a four-year deal, league sources said. Norman has yet to sign the tag.

  2. You don't become a winning franchise by signing players on the back end of their careers to high dollar contracts.  I love Josh and wish him the best, but if he is expecting to be one of the highest paid CBs in the league, he can do that somewhere else. 

    8-10 million per year, for 3-4 years is a solid contract and I am pretty sure is in the ballpark of what Gettleman is offering.  Josh has stated he wants franchise QB money?

    If an agreement can't be reached, I would honestly look at a sign and trade scenario.  Maybe other teams would be willing to pay out that much and we could benefit as a team.  Our secondary is a product of our front 7.  I don't think Josh excels like he does here in another system.

    I mentioned in another thread that I would take us -12 against the Bucs. 

    So as a gambler, it makes me happy to know that I am pretty damn close to the Vegas line in my prediction, which is usually a decent indicator that you know what you are doing at least to some degree. 

    There is a rule in gambling on the NFL.  Never bet against a double digit division dog.  I hope we break that rule this weekend.
