Do you think Josh Norman will be here next season?

So in listening to DG's presser, he said he doesn't like to negotiate deals during the season because it's a distraction. Josh Norman is an UFA agent next season. Greg got extended early in the season, Dickson and now Cam. Do you get the feeling the coaching staff think that our CB situation is a plug and play due to the front seven and are willing to let Josh Norman walk ala Captain Munnerlyn?

I think he'll sign an extension within the next few weeks to be honest. He wants to be here more than anything in the world, and I'm sure DG sees the value in signing him now and locking up a shutdown corner before he has a true breakout season. Just needed to get Cam done first and now TD and Josh and CJ will all fall into place.

Might not be until after the season that we re-sign him. He's had 1 good season and 2 bad ones so far. Consistency isn't on Josh's side. Gettleman may want another good year from Josh so he knows what we're renting. Josh's agent may want another good year to push the $$$ higher.

Better odds on TD and CJ getting extensions imo, but I'll be happy if it does happen

I think if he doesn't cost us a game with penalties and he continues this progress then he will be a Panther for years to come

My lord... I wish people would let that go.

 

How many games did he cost us last year with penalties??  0 

Time to move on bro.

 

I hope Norman retires a Panther.

I think after TD is extended, I'm not sure CJ will be extended, we will sign Norman to a decent deal.  We can use a lot of the cap space we have now and then with a TD extension to pay Norman more this year and lower amounts the next 2-3 years.  I see maybe giving him 3 years MAYBE 4, close to 4-6 million a year, so lets say 4 years 18 million.  He's had one good year, 1 middle of the road year and 1 what was he thinking half the time year.  So we sign him early and get our shutdown corner on the cheap, well cheaper.  KEEP POUNDING!!

I would think that Gettleman has touched base with all the agents for players coming up on free agency. If Norman wants to be here and has another solid year  he will get paid well. But if he wants Richard Marshall "Pay me like the best" type money he will have to go elsewhere. I like him so I hope he does well and stays.

I think the smart move is to sign Norman now but I'm not sure how the numbers work. With Cam's contract I don't know how much wiggle room we have for this season. I would love to sign Norman before the season starts. But it would be the 3rd biggest offseason deal. Cam and Olsen take 1 and 2.

I think it's 50/50.  If they re-sign him now, they get him for a better rate.  He's primed for a career year.  But he probably knows that, and might want to see what he can get elsewhere.  I hope he stays in Carolina because he's a talented player and finally seems to have his head on straight, but it's definitely not a sure thing.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
