Speculation....when will they pay 24

*Huddle still bashes Hurney over 2 years after he's fired for his careless spending*

*Huddle obsesses over wanting DG paying top 5 CB money to a CB that has a handful of good games playing zone coverage against backup QBs*

 

Y'all are acting like Norman is playing press man coverage on an island and shutting down Julio, Dez, AJ Green, etc.

Everybody needs to get over the idea of Norman getting paid during the season. It's not happening. DG isn't gonna go against his word and cave to a player; look at the mess that's put Seattle in. At the end of the year Norman will be offered $7-9m per season again. He'll either accept it or get slapped with a franchise tag and be forced to play out of his mind on during a 2nd straight contract year while Carolina is primed for a SB run. 

At that point DG will have squeezed back to back seasons out of Norman's prime and very possibly won a SB. Norman will be entering his 30yo season and no legitimate team is gonna offer him a mega deal. At that point Norman will either accept what DG offers him or cash in big and rot away in Oakland, Tampa Bay, etc.

The days of Carolina throwing out big contracts to every good player on the team are over. Cam & Kuechly are the only locks on this team. Everyone else is expendable. DG is gonna continously build this team starting with the OL & DL. DG will throw big money at the right DE but I wouldn't holds your breath on him giving a mega deal to a CB. 

This is what good teams do. Look at NE- they pay Brady & Gronk, everyone else is a resource. Welker, Moss, Revis, Talib, etc; they use them for a year or two then toss them out and let someone else overpay them. 

We are gonna keep cutting overpriced veterans (Smith, Williams, etc) and letting overpriced players walk (Hardy). And we're gonna keep winning. Get used to it. 

 

 

True as some of that may be, there's nothing wrong with wanting to keep a good player in town.

By the way, we may be primarily a zone team but best believe he's been in some man coverage against monsters.

If Norman continues to play on this level we will have to pay him top  corner back money.

 

I personally  don't predict him to continue on the pace he has been playing. I see him ending the season as a top 10-15 corner. The market is paying big money to CBs so we will have to pay a lot of money to keep him in Carolina. I don't know our salary cap situation for next year but we just extended two of our top players so I wouldn't be suprised if he signs elsewhere.

I believe the smartest way to go is either franchise him or extend him to a 2-3 year deal which should keep him through his prime.

 

if we could trade him I would because CBs with Normans size  have plenty of value. Considering he shut down Julio Jones twice last year we could get a package of multiple top picks after showing his potential this season.

I do love Norman but Russell Okung will hit the market this year at LT. 

I think Oher is good enough and if continues his play we could secure him for 2 more season at a mid level tier possibly. 

Or blow our cap money on an Okung type who would command a serious contract. 

That would eat Josh Norman money and we may be due to extend Kawann..Star right after. Trai Turner will cost money too. 

Norman is 27 years old and while I think he has been incredible we have to let the whole season play out. His demands should be capped and if he exceeds that..There may be no choice but to let him walk.

Norman is playing for a contract and leaving everything on the table... he wants to cash in. So he is Alert out to do whatever it takes to be the best. 

Remember he hasn't done this consistently over the last couple of years, his contract is just coming up and he's actually listening to his coach. 

So.... let him continue showing us what he's really made of

    • lol wut?  Stats dont matter now?  Got it
    • So.... you're admitting he's never going to be the type of QB who can drag his team to victories on a consistent basis? Because in today's NFL, the teams that are constant contenders have QB's who can put up those kind of games will their team to wins when needed. If Bryce was anything near as amazing last year as the Bryce defenders try to insinuate he was, we'd either have won more games or his stats would have been better, if not both. Yes, he showed significant improvement over the last 2 months of the season.  Yes, he had a few clutch  moments/throws/drives in that span too. BUT... It's also very much a true statement that on the whole, he was still AT BEST an average QB during that time period.   And for a QB who was touted as being a PG who can get wins without elite talent around him because of how he sees the game, that's just not good enough, sorry. And none of that is to say he can't do that this year, especially after we gave him a weapon like T-Mac and hopefully an improved XL and Coker.  But stop trying to say he was this amazing QB to end the year who has proven he can (and should) be considered a long term solution as a franchise QB, as it's just not true.
    • In what way is that remotely the same thing as I'm saying here? First things first, comparing QB's to any other position is just asinine to begin with.   Second, you're trying to imply the exact opposite of what I'm saying here, so it just doesn't make sense. I'm saying if you remove the players that teams haven't committed to as their long term QB solutions yet, Bryce is the last player ranked in this set of rankings, that's all.  But sure, go ahead and try to make some weird convoluted equivalent for my love of T-Mac (who btw, you'd probably only need to take away 12-15 WRs for me to rank T-Mac #1 in a dynasty format, just sayin, lol)
