DG understands his importance to the team. It all depends how much Josh wants though. I don't think we'll pay him an amount that would win a bidding war in free agency so if that's what he wants he's probably gone. But I don't think he wants the absolute most he could possibly get--just a respectable amount.

If Person's report a while ago was true, Josh turned down $7M/year before the year. I was shocked by how much that was for DG to offer after only a half a season of good play so I think that shows how much DG likes Josh. 

I think/hope that Josh is just looking for the $10M/year mark--that's what he's mentioned in interviews talking about how people don't think he's worth $10M/year so that may be the mark that he's looking for. If it is, he's a career Panther.

I think Josh truly does want to be here more than anything else so I'm pretty confident we'll keep him. Nervous though that we won't since he may be one of my favorite Panthers in recent memory and if he keeps at it will be one of my favorite of all time.

1.  He'll want the going rate for a top 5 corner.  Probably #1.  Currently, that 14 million.

2.  He won't get that next year because we'll franchise tag him.  12 million or so.

3.  He's 27.  We should get a slight discount on a 3 or 4 year deal unless he wants to hit FA at 28 and take a chance on injury

4 yr for 50 million with 35 guan.

Something tells me Joshs opinion on what he's worth is different from what Gettleman's opinion on what he's worth.

I think 10.5-12 mil/yr is fair but would they both agree to that?

I suppose this next negotiation will tell us a lot more about Norman and Gman both.

Getts trusts his eyes and his checkbook... when he says you're worth $7 million - He means you're worth $7 million. 

He was willing to pay $7M/year for someone who had only been a starter for 10 games (not counting his rookie year where he was basically forced into a starting position which he wasn't ready for at all) and would be taking a huge gamble paying that much for a player who had played well for so little games. That's a ridiculously high offer in those circumstances and now after seeing him not just play as well as he has last year but actually dominate the league all 6 games this year and actually be a reason we've won about half of our games I'm sure he'll up his offer by a fairly large sum.

Reading an article about Josh last week it was mentioned that he and Richardson were tight, so that could work to our favor.  I really think that if he doesn't sign a deal in the offseason DG will tag him.  However, I hope it doesn't get to that.  Josh has repeatedly said that this is where he wants to be and I hope he doesn't let his agent too far into his head and works with the team.  IF we can keep this defense together it could be something special.

Josh is a Carolina guy.   He isn't going anywhere.    The question is how many players want to be here and take a million or two less a year to remain a part of what is becoming one of the best organizations in the NFL.   Working conditions are a real thing.   Playing for a. Winning  team is a real thing.   Our key guys are going to be here a while.

I honestly have no idea what's going to happen with him. Before the season I felt like we could let him go, but he's emerged as a legit shutdown elite corner and those aren't easy to find. We know DG was willing to give him $7 million based on half a season of solid play; is he willing to go double that for a true elite cover guy?

I honestly don't know the answer to that.

Would love to keep Norman but can't see it happening if he wants more than 12 million a year 

 

edit:  to early in the morning for me.  

Just need to sign Star and Short next year besides Norman. 

Cap space looks great next year. Smitty contract comes off next year.So pay the man!

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
