I don't think I've ever criticized Gettleman but what? They couldn't trade him or keep him for one year?

rumor was. Jno was going to set out the year if no deal.

Tomorrow's presser will only partially be about the draft now haha

The biggest question our of all of this will be whether or not G-man's apparent priority and valuation of the line over the backfield is the magic elixir to success.

I'm not gonna lie, I feel a little nervous.

The logic that the interior DL made our secondary better doesn't hold a whole lot of water considering we didn't get over the playoff hump until we had a fantastic season in which Josh Norman himself basically won 2 games for us.

If we want to get back to the Super Bowl, we are going to need some playmaking ability in the secondary. All the rationalizing in the world for this move is not going to change that. Period.

For the record and what its worth, I think Norman is a rop flight shutdown corner..

 

thing is, we dont need that in carolina. we run zone blitz scheme. we put pressure on the QB and run confusing zone schemes. theres a reason Julio Jones called Norman a great zone corner.. its because we run zone dammit! its not a slight on josh. 

 

we not need a shutdown corner to have a great defense (2013). it would be a waste to pay him that much and to have that kind of calibur player! now norman can go to a team that runs much more man coverage and he can proceed to be the shutdown corner he is.

 

its smart. both sides win. money goes to positions on our team that are high value to our scheme and identity. shut down corner isnt one of them. we have a lot of young guys to pay. KB, Star, KK, Turner, Ealy..  id much rather lose josh than any of these guys..

 

we will be fine.  i remember the same panic heading into 2013 with our seconday..  #2 defense.

I think what I see out of G-Man is that he actually takes all the emotion out of his business. That is good business.

Game on

[TyHillPanthers]

Wait... didnt Kendall Fuller visit the Panthers today? and now this drops?

[DeeJay]

And just like that, $13.952 million is wiped off Carolina Cap

- Adam Schefter

[SmokinwithWilly]

I'm guessing this had more to do with kk and star than jno. Gman loves him some hog mollies.

Out of curiosity, were we unable to put a tinder on him after franchising him?

[Jangler]

Now will have the money resign Hardy.

[ickmule]

Some of you worry too much. Th dude ain't that good and he certainly wants more money than he's worth. He was a product of our system. I could care less if he comes back. 

[Datawire]

This appears to be the teams with the most cap space.

 

Jaguars - $53,746,852

49ers - $52,154,301

Browns - $39,820,334

Titans - $29,422,028

Giants - $22,184,166

Bears - $22,085,772

Take a guess.

 

Edit: I would laugh my ass off if he went to the Giants.
