How crazy a year makes.

last offseason some were talking about how josh would never get it. Too much of a hothead that would lose us games. all the physical talent but not a smart player.

flash forward a year and were talking about him being one of the highest paid players at his position.

Doesn't mean he will play under it though

Tagged players sitting out is rare.  Norman hasn't made big bucks in the NFL yet.  He'll multiply his career earnings several times over under the tag.  He's 29 and his big money days are coming to an end.  If we can't work out a deal, he'll play under the tag and then probably cash in on a big payday from a desperate bottom dweller looking to make a splash next year.

I think he meant a deal can still be worked out.

but yeah that's too much money to just sit out, especially for Josh. Life changing money.

those people are dumb because Norman was one of the best corners the second half the 2014 season

This. Too much money for him to sit out but not quite the guaranteed long term deal he is looking for. Value at an all time high right now. Can't say for certain it will still that high after next season. If I'm him a try my hardest to come to terms on a long term deal instead of having to bet on myself AGAIN.

I'm sure he will skip OTAs, but I agree that he will be at training camp for sure.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
