Apparently Josh Norman is wanting around 16 million a year to stay in Carolina long term. 

From the Observer... 

Quote

Gettleman said last week he’s not worried about Norman’s contract situation becoming a distraction. But Norman, who’s looking for a deal in the neighborhood of $16 million a year, applied public pressure on the Panthers during a couple of national TV appearances last week.

I am not saying Josh is not worth 16 million a year. I am saying there is no way will Gettleman pay that for a corner long term. Gettleman's defensive dollar priorities are along the defensive line and linebackers. A good enough front seven can make lower paid mediocre defensive backs look much better than they actually are. See Mike Mitchell for example. 

Do I blame J-No for wanting to be paid? Not at all. 

But he won't be getting the money he feels he deserves in Carolina, that is a certainty. 

Gettleman is getting a one year franchise player rental is appears.

Annnndddd bye bye JNo.

Maybe he is saying 16mil so he can get 12-13mil year. Isn't one of the rules in negotitations to ask for more than what you need?

Will Gettleman pay that or anything close to that?  No.

Is Josh Norman worth that or anything close to that?  No.

Do I blame Josh Norman for doing what he feels he needs to do in contract negotiations?  No.

Will I despise Gettleman and/or Josh if things don't work out and Josh leaves?  No.

The problem with paying a top cb that kind of money is their effectiveness gets diminished vs spread formations, which is all the rage in the nfl these days.

We need to solidify the nickel position and have depth at corner. Need more consistent pass rush too.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
