CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman received a 59 percent pay raise for the 2015 season based on playing time in his first three years.Norman's salary jumped from $660,000 to $1.574 million, an increase triggered by a Proven Performance Escalator written into the 2011 collective bargaining agreement for players drafted between Rounds 3-7.

The escalator goes into effect for playing at least 35 percent of the offensive or defensive snaps in two of the player’s first three seasons.

Norman, selected in the fifth round out of Coastal Carolina in 2012, started 12 games as a rookie and 12 this past season, including two playoff games. He started the final 11 games this season when he emerged as Carolina’s top cornerback, often being used to shadow an opponent’s top receiver.

Norman helped hold Julio Jones to 10 catches for 117 yards and no touchdowns in two games against the Atlanta Falcons' Pro Bowl receiver.

The 6-foot, 195-pound Norman will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, but sources told ESPN.com there already have been preliminary talks about a possible extension.

"Okay son, you play at the high level we know you can in 2015 and we will give you $30m guaranteed."

Gettleman:

"4 years $12m. If you don't sign we'll have to bring in a few FAs, seeing as you'll be a FA next year, and you may or may not get to play in 2015. Take it or leave it. Now."

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
