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."

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
