So if a team ends up getting him do they give up two first round picks of their own?  Or are we awarded two first round picks like a comp pick? 

When teams sign another team's franchise player, what most commonly happens is that they agree to accept alternate compensation; most commonly one first round pick and a mid-rounder like a third.

It doesn't really happen that often these days, though. Most guys who get the franchise tag either end up with long term deals or they play out the year and start over the next offseason.

So i suppose the next hypothetical would be, at what point salary wise does DG say "nah you can have him" and take the picks instead?  if somebody gets him to agree to a 4/50 deal does DG match or walk away?

Here's the official announcement at Panthers.com

The Panthers applied the non-exclusive franchise tag to cornerback Josh Normanicon-article-link.gif on the deadline day to do so.

The tag keeps Norman in Carolina for the 2016 season and gives the team until July 15 to negotiate a long-term contract.

"Josh has worked hard to develop himself into a very good player," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "We appreciate the role he plays for us in our defense and we look forward to having him back for the 2016 season."

As a part of the non-exclusive franchise tag, the Panthers must tender a one-year qualifying offer of the average of the top five cornerback salaries from last season relative to the current salary cap. Other teams can approach with offers, but the Panthers can match and would receive two first-round picks from any potential suitor if they choose not to match.

Norman was set to become an unrestricted free agent following the best season of his four-year career. He started every game and emerged as one of the NFL’s top corners, finishing with a career-high four interceptions, two interception returns for touchdowns and 18 passes defensed en route to his first career Pro Bowl nomination.

"I’m excited that Josh will be back with the Panthers next season," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He played very well for us this year and was a big part of the success we enjoyed as a team."

Norman is the sixth player in team history to receive a franchise tag, joining punter Todd Sauerbrun (2003), offensive tackle Jordan Gross (2008), defensive end Julius Peppers (2009), center Ryan Kalilicon-article-link.gif (2011) and defensive end Greg Hardy (2014).

Bills also release Mario Williams and poo. Sign him to bruh?

Could only afford Mario if we cut CJ, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us bring him in for a workout in the event that CJ does not agree to a pay cut. If nothing else it would be another demonstration of our willingness to move on.

You'll note that story is written with a very "he's staying" slant. 

It only mentions the option of him signing somewhere else as a technicality.

Of course Gman and RR are going to sound optimistic! What do you expect them to say after tagging him.....that JNo and his agent were asking for ridiculous money and were waiting for those two first round picks? :P 

Take everything that say with a pinch of salt.

Oh, they could sound neutral if they wanted to.  Heck, look back at their discussions of Steve Smith and Charles Johnson.

They've made no secret of the fact that they want to keep Norman. Doesn't mean it'll happen, but I've seen enough to know they're not just looking for the best deal they can get from some other team.

No one is giving up two 1sts and an enormous contract for Josh. You might as well get that thought out of your head now because there is zero chance it happens.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
