He would have eventually signed.

I'm not sure anyone can convince me that Gettlemen couldn't of traded him for SOMETHING.  I think the biggest flaw MAY end up being Dave has an ego.  Think Dave likes that people think it was a gangsta/statement. Carolina seems to be sending that narrative out to media.

 End of the day we would be better off with something in return IMO even if it means Dave looks less badass tough in the process.   

So a team will sign him.... then explain why Dave couldn't of traded for some picks (even if less than we would want ideally...bc the option we went for was nothing)

We will most likely get a 3rd round pick out of it, which is more than the nothing you're claiming we got.

And also how can you look at what Gettleman has done the last three years and not see that his biggest virtue is addition by subtraction? Its not about Gettleman looking like a badass, its about maintaining his leverage in contract negotiations and sending a message across the team that no one has the choice in this team to not buy into the team first mindset. Its exactly what the Patriots did with Easley and Chandler this year.

I think Josh's agent really fugged him over on this one.

That depends on the driving motivation.  If it is to be on a winning franchise, then yes, Josh will likely have a much harder time with that now.  If it is to have a large contract long term, then he did exactly what needed to be done.  Josh is going to get a premium pay to be an elite man-press corner from a team that is projecting him to be able to do that.  Initial indications are that Josh does have that ability, but it was not highlighted in our zone-based defense, so it is going to be a gamble for whomever pulls that trigger.

Like most of you, I hate to see him go.  Josh was a great player for this team.  He was (and is) beloved for his contributions to this forum (via podcast)

BUT, he said all along he wasn't going to give us a hometown discount.  What makes it worse.  I think his agent is the driving force behind this.  I think he was playing hard ball and thinking he had Carolina by the balls because we tagged him. 

Next Man up.   We kept some young talent on the Practice Squad for a reason.  Maybe we already have the 2nd coming of J-No 24.

I hope no one pays him what he was offered and he accepts our contract.

He wasn't under contract, what was he going to trade?

Everyone has their own pros and cons.  At one point Hurney looked like an awesome GM.  Now, I am not saying Dave is bad....but we might now have our first look at a flaw of Dave's....

for the most part...Gettlmen has been viewed has half man, half god, half possible centaur.   A man that can do no wrong.  The golden touch that everyone else should be jealous of....

but Dave just let Carolina groom an All Pro corner and let him walk out the door.  If Hurney pulled this off at the end of his tenure it would be the biggest thing he was blasted for despite many options to look at.   Do not like.  IMO even if you know you can't work a long term deal you rent him with the tag for this year 

You obviously don't get it, haven't been paying attention, or think you're a better GM. 

Gettleman believes that you don't pay top dollar for CB talent. Simple reasoning, really. The secondary is only as good as the front 7.  You can't pay top dollar to CBs, and keep a fantastic defense together. 

I'm in complete agreement with Gettleman on this. 

Great thread to place your post in. Guess the other ones are just stale.

Not sure Josh would have signed it. I have the feeling his agent fugged that one up big time. He wasn`t able to set up a trade, although Gman allowed him to. Gman put the team first again, which is what I love. No player is more important than the team. This is the message I get out of it and I love it. We will get a comp pick for Josh, and it is not gonna be a 7th rounder, so we don`t walk away empty handed.

If you look at it logically and not emotionally like you are you can see he made the right move. There have been plenty of teams with multiple All Pro players that get to pick first in the draft and sit home in January. Dave is building a team and sustaining what got us to a Superbowl. Norman clearly proved to Dave he was not going to be happy with what he was getting from Carolina so Dave did josh a favor and released him. Dave could have forced him to sign but that never ends well and our team will be better off without a unhappy Norman.

It's not easy to get picks for a player that isn't under contract. 

There is ZERO incentive for another team to even give up a 7th round pick for a player that isn't close to signing a long term contract with their team, and hasn't signed the tender. 

So stop with the "we shoulda got something for him derp de derp!"

Wouldnt be the first time.  I expect it wont be the last.  Ultimately, the agent works for Josh at his direction.  If Josh wanted to put the brakes on hardball negotiations to instead push for a long term deal with less money, he could have done that.  He didnt do that, so i will take what his behavior says about his motivation over his words all day

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
