Right now I'm more concerned with finding a functional DE anyway.

 

Yo, JPP...bring you and your clubbed hand on down to Charlotte. 

I would love to take a chance on JPP if the Giants were to rescind the tag, which I guess is still a possibility. Extremely unlikely but after a stupid stunt like that and with no idea if he can still play or not he wouldn't command that much money on what would probably be a 1 or 2 year "prove it" contract and he'd have huge upside. Wishful thinking, but as a fan it always runs through one's mind.

Are you seriously comparing Norman to Revis? 

Revis has been the best CB in the NFL for nearly a decade and just helped NE win a SB. NE also let him walk via FA and he was overpaid by a NYJ team that doesn't have to worry about paying a QB $100m.

Norman is only 2 years younger and has played great for about a dozen games in his entire career.  

My point was only about age. Don't read more into that post than that, it isn't there. Corners have longer careers than a lot of other positions. It wouldn't be unreasonable to sign him until he was 34 or so.

Jesus Christ, do you people not know how the Franchise Tag works? Use it once. See how the dude performs with a big contract. Use it again, if you have to. At the end of the second one, he'll almost be 30 (if not 30). Then, figure out what you have. 

It's not "omgz signz him to a twenty twenty billion trillion dollar contract or he'll leave us! LEBRON JAMES GAIZ!"

7 was very fair. Contracts take in big consideration what the player has done in the past as proof of what you may expect going forward. He has quite a few years of not all a great deal. Now the obvious potential earns him so money but....

 

7 mil is a honest offer.

4 year deal, 35-40 million would probably be pretty workable for the team due to CJ's number dropping next year. Either by extension or cutting him, something has to be done with CJ's number.  

 

Fit Josh in for 9-10 million a year, or franchise him, and see if we can't be in the upper tier of contenders in 2016 with KB back, and hopefully an improved DL situation. 

This is a very good point.   While we may possibly go deep in the post season this year, it will be a big challenge having lost KB, Frank Alexander.... now an injury to CJ.... etc. 

Next year really could be the year we have perhaps one of our best chances to go all the way.   Keeping Norman on for the 2016 season could be REALLY important, even if it means franchising him.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
