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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
