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

Round 1 went to Norman.... Gman working on a plan one way or another for him in 2017..

 

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.

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.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
