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."

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan

      Something like 24 now. The first 6 minutes were fun, after that, oh man. It was cool tho, a near capacity, with both teams well supported.
