As this news breaks, just speculating here, but only reason I can think they'd let him walk is concerns about how he'd act w/no long-term.

 

Panthers were nearly certain this was going to be Norman's final year in CLT. They were cool w/the tag. Maybe not w/how's he's reacted since

 

The player many believe is the best cornerback in the game -- Josh Norman -- is now a free agent. In April. Unreal circumstance

 

Talks between Josh Norman's agent & #Panthers were not going well. They weren't close. Most teams hold onto the player. Not the Panthers

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

I guess the thinking would be that we can get a 3rd round comp pick for him next year and that would be better than whatever we can get for him next year. Though who knows how much he is getting this late in the game. That could be a 4th just because a lot of the money has been spent and there won't be many bidders.

This is our culture now. Contribute to winning and a positive attitude or you're free to leave. Chase your money and we'll chase rings. I have no problem with this at all since we retain our core. Best case, Josh comes back and signs the tender then we win a SuperBowl and cut ties. More likely is using our first or second on a CB and still winning a Super Bowl while Josh hates his life in Cleveland or Jacksonville/reaches Deangelo levels of salt

Panther's short changed him two offseasons in a row and never truely gave him a serious offer this offseason. 

 

It was to the point that Josh started acting this way because him and the agent felt Panthers weren't serious in negotiations and he flat said he wouldn't sign it till they were.

 

They never were interested and well here we are.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
