Panthers in talks w/Josh Norman about extension

[panthers55]

I wasn't trying to be argumentative, my only point was the term "all" is a bit misleading for those that don't really understand the cap.

Out of curiosity where is this 1.7m number come from you are referring to about Olsen.

My bad, the restructured amount for 2015 was 1.175 million not 1.75 giving him a guaranteed or dead cap amount of 2.7 Million when you add the remaining signing bonus as well as other guaranteed money. I expect us to extend him this offseason.

Bottom line:  This is a good entry point for Norman.  He has shown us enough to feel confident that he can be an outside CB for the next 3 years or so (He will be 28).  A good year next year and/or a championship drives his price up before we have to deal with Cam, Kuechly, and Olsen.

Wow, these guesses are all over the place. Norman looked good the 2nd half of the season, but no way I pay him big money based on such a small sample.

He deserves a pay raise and will get one, but he still makes bone headed decisions and the interception/fumble is one of many and not long ago.

I'd give him an incentive based contract and let him make big money if he earns it.

trade him for a second next year.

5 years 25 million..12 guaranteed plus 550k in bojangles gift cards.. Also 2 tickets to both Nascar races in Charlotte should do the trick.
