Definitely a Gem and glad we signed him. 

I remember they were talking how when they broke the huddle.  He always yelled break or something to that effect.  Kind of motivating the rest of the players.   Guys like him are infectious.  Get a couple like him.  Big and Nasty like Williams is supposed to be.   We'll have a mauler front line like our defensive front line. 

Nasty Hog Mollies.

I know we need him at guard , but could he be transitioned to tackle if another starting guard became available ?  Would he have what it takes ?  Just thinking that it might be easier to find a quality guard than tackle and this guy looks determined enough to do what ever it takes to play.  I mean he would be better at tackle than Amini I would guess.

Just doing some reading, and Norwell is 6' 6" and played some Left Tackle in college so this really isn't too crazy an idea.

A lot of lineman make the mistake of overextending.  They forget the angle the DL needs to take to get to the QB and they chase the DL, losing most of the time.  Norwell gets it.  He does not waste motion.  Been saying that since last season.  I LOVE Norwell.

It looks like he has the athleticism, footwork and hands to consider at Tackle, but the problem is that he isnt tall enough or have enough wingspan. 

He is fantastic at guard though. 

6' 6" isnt tall enough to play tackle? And while 33 5/8 inch arms arent ideal it is still longer than the Premier tackle in the league in Joe Thomas

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
