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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
