You should of put his name in the title and your thread would receive more press. Rookie mistake.

 

There should be a bit more attention for reasons beyond that as well:

 

The guy is not only a terrific Punter but an excellent FG kicker. You may be seeing the Panthers on front line of what has always been the inevitable progression of the "Kicking Specialist" position (that'll be the title of that position in the future as well, mark it down)

 

Imagine having an extra roster spot because you've got a guy who can do both.

Nortman is a free agent right now. This is definitely insurance in case he goes elsewhere and a shot across the bow that we aren't going to pay him a premium just because we have no other options. It's a great move that creates leverage for any contract negotiations with Nortman. We can now say, "If you want to stay then you are staying at our price. If not then we already signed your replacement. Best of luck in free agency."

He kicked field goals in the CFL as well as punting. He'll kick Nortman and Gano to the curb!

If I'm remembering right he was one of the better field goal kickers 2 seasons ago but so was Medlock when we signed that bum

Is he from Moosejaw?

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
