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 SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
