Bucky Brooks talks up Josh Norman

[Mr. Scot]

Ongoing talks are great of course, but mean little as far as the dollar amount will go.

Hopefully we can lock up all of them, but if not, I think it's pretty clear that Norman would be the odd man out.

I'm not convinced of that.

[Montsta]

I'm not convinced of that.

Out of those I mentioned, if only three could be signed, which three would you think would get signed?

[Frizzy350]

If anyone was going to give the panthers a team friendly deal it would be td.

Unless norman reaches the level of play commanding 15+ mil a year i think we retain him.

Cam will be paid very well, possibly most in nfl history (thats just how qb contracts work, whine all you want about it).

Luke is the xfactor at play here. Very possible he gets a mind blowing deal for an mlb.

Kinda sucks that he's gonna have a career year and get paid and the Panthers won't be able to be the ones writing the check.

70 million under cap. Certainly enough to sign Cam, Luke and Norman.

Given that Norman is younger, its not so certain that he would be out before Davis.  Even if the front office loves Davis, I am not certain they should resign him at the expense of not signing Norman. Certainly hope all of them remain Panthers though.

Josh wants to stay in Carolina. I really believe that from what he has told me. A lot of time that kind of talk is bs, like with Hardy. But Josh means it I feel.

[AndrewLaskoski]

Born in South Carolina, went to Coastal Carolina, hopefully staying home has value to Josh. He's a hell of a talent

That doesn't mean a damn thing.

Let's hypothetically say that you are single with no kids, were raised NC, and currently work in NC with an annual salary of $50k.

Would you decline a job offer in let's say Jacksonville, FL doing the exact same job with a salary of $100k?

Norman will be a career Panther and would take a hometown discount.

I certainly hope so

That hypothetical is in no way similar. This isn't just a "job" to Josh.  The team means a whole lot to him; just ask Igo. And Josh is a Preacher's son. He's not the type of guy who just wants as much money as he possibly can get because he won't be looking to buy everything in sight. Do you see him out there wearing $50,000 watches, and $100,000 suits? No. When you're making millions a year as it is, making millions more is significantly different than when you're making tens of thousands.

Norman wasn't flattered in the least bit judging by his tweet.

Might make a difference, it depends on each individual. But I don't think the difference would be double.  More like we offer 6 and someone else offers 7.   A million more a season might be enough to get him to leave, but for some, being in comfortable surroundings means a lot. 

 

Fwiw, I wouldn't move to Jacksonville or anywhere else in Florida unless they tripled my salary.  Make it Hawaii, and we might talk.

I'll bite.  What tweet?
