Great football player. Even a better individual. Huge supporter of our Troops. Oh the days of having good people on this league are going away. 

 

 

Now, we have to root for young pot heads, alcoholics, me-first type of players. 

We do?  I've seen plenty of good young guys, playing on the team we're all here to support.  Kind of a silly statement, if serious.

I'm a Panthers fan. Then, secondly I'm a damn football fan fool. Id like to enjoy watching football no matter whether that's peewee, HS, College, or the NFL. 

 

C'mon Chuckie. You made a goofy azz comment. Got called out on it. Then got all salty over it? I have a minor suggestion for you. Think before you hit submit.

I'm not talking about just the Panthers. Im talking about the entire NFL. 

 

But, Frank Alexander and former Hardy are two of them.

You're basing your judgement of "now, we have to root for young pot heads, alcoholics, me-first type of players," off of an extremely small portion of the players in the league.  Players that you're not watching or cheering for anyway, because they are never around for very long.  That's not really fair to the large majority, who are actually really good people.

How I wish we had Allen for another year

[Fox007]

Aww too bad we couldn't get him a ring that would have made that even more epic :(

OH well maybe we'll sign him to a 1 day contract and give him a ring when we win it next year or something like that.

His retirement, if confirmed, leaves us with nearly $31 MILLION in cap space. Even after we tag Josh, we'll have ~$18m.

call me crazy but why do we need to tag Norman if we have $31 million in cap space? sorry I must be missing something.

Because it's a safer bet.  If he doesn't perform as well next year you aren't stuck with him.

The market and the determination of worth.

Norman likely is going to want Revis money.  Gettleman is never going to pay Norman Revis money.

Just because you have all the money in the world to spend doesn't mean its wise to OVERspend.

Yes, for 1 year.  A 5 year contract at Revis money costs lots lots more.
