J-No on SportsCenter

[Panther49er]

Just FYI. Has talked about 5 min so far but they said they'll be back after commercials. Basically so far, he's somewhat surprised about CJ being cut. Also was asked about playing for a diff team and he said couldn't envision himself outside of Carolina but business is business

Oh lawd...

He seems to value his skill and work ethic highly which is no surprise and he should but business is business....

I think Gettleman is going to have to work something out to keep Josh around for another few years.  Gettleman says it takes a good three years to see a rookie come along and be "ready."  He also said he doesn't want to develop players for other teams.  Josh has been just great the past season and a half.

He's part of our great defense, and we need him.  They are going to spar over the contract, but I think it gets worked out for 2017 and beyond.

He's now on Russillo and Kannell and he makes it clear he wants to be here, but empasized "nothing is personal," and said he hopes it works out but if it doesn't, then that's how it has to be.  Did say they have until June or July to work out the long-term deal, but his tone just seemed disappointed.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like at the very least they are VERY far apart on numbers, and at most, they are so far apart they don't anticipate ever getting close enough to get a deal done.

He also ranked himself as the 5th best CB of all time tied with Darrelle Revis. Needless to say, that's how he sees and values himself and will be asking for the same amount of money.

Wow.

Rod Woodson and Champ Bailey are like...is this real life?

That's our J-No!  Hey, ya gotta love his confidence & swagger.  Hopefully his going on record to say such a wild thing will make him PLAY like one of the top 5 corners of all time....

But he sure is inviting scrutiny & ribbing....

And no, this doesn't really bode well for contract negotiations for a long-term contract as a Panther.

But, his personality is a big part of what makes him such an electric & fun player to watch.  He's very right in what he said about this being entertainment and people coming to watch a certain kind of product.  He continues to bet on the entertainment value (and play quality) that he can provide.  Hope he continues to shine.  And hopefully it's in CLT.
