There is the possibility that we sign him prior to the new season starts but this Poll is assuming we use the Tag on Josh Norman.

I have recently read on here some of you think it is a good idea to tag and trade Josh Norman.

I think that is a really bad move.  Players like Josh Norman are few and far between.  After 4 years we finally have a CB that we have dreamed of having.  Why anyone would want to tag and trade is beyond me.

Thought I would run a poll to see what everyone else thought.

It depends on what we would get back in a trade.  IMHO it'd have to include currency to get a player we consider to be at the TOP of our draft board this year.  Jax has an absurd amount of cap room, as do the Raiders.  

Revis was traded at approximately the same age for the #13 overall pick and a conditional 3rd/4th.  Getting the Raiders pick at 14 or trading our 1st and JNo to Jax to get to #5 overall are the only "realistic" scenarios worth considering IMHO.  And that's only IF GMan thinks Bosa or Buckner is the next Reggie White.  

But considering the money it would save it has to at least be a "consideration", even if I don't necessarily want it per se.  And as far as sentiment, GMan didn't become the godfather by having a heart.  Not even in the same stratosphere as losing #89 would be.  

Strictly business.  Gotta consider everything.

Tag 16&17 and let him walk, to be completely honest, he isn't as good as some people make hime out to be. Half of the elite wr's he faced this year were coming off injuries or still playing hurt,  others were open a lot throughout the game and just weren't throw to. Our front 7 makes any corner look great.  He does have great ability, but is nowhere near the talent to be asking for 10mil+ per year, especially for his age. Just my opinion tho,  some of you might disagree, but that is your opinion, I'm simply stating mine.  I'd love to see us draft a corner tbis year and next year early in the draft

He faced a who's who of quarterbacks and receivers this year and allowed the lowest QB rating in the NFL. And thats with the worst pass rush we've had in 4 years. You cannot let an elite cornerback away from your team with the way the entire league favors the pass

Give him an ultimatum. Contract offer for 4 years for about $50M with a fair amount guaranteed the first 2 years, or play on the tag for a year then go to another team. I think Josh would accept that offer and it would be nice for us to just get that done and over with. And a deal like that would be similar to tagging him two years in a row which I've seen suggested. Josh won't want to play on the tag and may take the $12.5M/year deal instead of playing on the tag and then trying to get $15M per or whatever the highest number is. It's truly best for both parties to stay with each other. Our secondary would be trash without Josh and Josh is a Carolina boy who fits with this locker room and D and Rivera's coaching has probably made him look better than he is. I understand wanting to get paid as much as possible but Josh should look at the other factors. Would he be happy living in Oakland, going 4-12 every year, but making $15M/year? Or making $12.5 per and still on the Panthers and in Carolina which he loves? I hope he'll make the right decision and not chase the money, but if he does then I don't blame him.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
