Only way this makes a lick of sense is if things have gotten really ugly behind the scenes with negotiations.

Either way, getting nothing at all for him is a mind numbing move.

Voth was just saying that on twitter.  Just speculation on his part, but they may not be thrilled with how he will act/is acting.

This was shocking, but it's obvious what's going on. He's gonna let him test the market without the franchise compensation looming over teams interested in him. All parties involved will find out what his worth is and if it's in Gettleman's range, he'll be a Panther. If it's not, he won't. 

Lotta ridiculous speculation that this has something to do with Josh's attitude or actions. That seems pretty ignorant. He's doing the same with Josh he did with CJ. It worked out with CJ. Hopefully it works out with Norman.

Regardless, this thread is going to be an interesting one to visit come December depending on how our secondary performs.

Might be quite a few tune changes.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
