Panther players responses to Josh Norman's release on social media

Almost nil.  I checked most of the players Twitter's and Instagram's, almost no mention of Josh being released.  I know it just happened today, but Panther players aren't crying out to the world about it yet.  If you see anything feel free to post it here, I'm interested to hear what the players think about cutting him loose.  But overall, the Panthers organization likes their players tight lipped about stuff like this I'm sure.  They had guys like Deangelo Williams and Steve Smith who had big mouths, and have clearly been trying to find guys who tow the line.

Only tweet I saw from a Panthers player about it was Charles Johnson @randywattson re-tweeting this post.

Cam made what seems to be an unrelated instagram post.

knew he was going to demand a lot after this past season..and he seams to be stern on his cost and Gettleman is not going to handicapp the team after 1 great season..Thats what happens when you get to the top players want more.. and the GM says see ya! Thank you we can replace you cheaper!! So I hope Norman comes cryin back

I was about to start a thread on this, I woke up realizing...Wow, I've seen literally almost NO response. 

I saw more guys wishing Luke a Happy Birthday than even making mention of any "We'll miss you bro. Always family." type of posts.

Which to me can be very telling.

So before the psychologists on the Huddle start analysing this situation into "well derrr of course Jno had to go, none of his teammates liked him" just remember there are more ways in which players communicate with each other and if one of my best mates was going to another state I'd probably pick up the phone and talk to him privately.

The idea is that there is an expectation of some kind of "thanks for the good games" from teammates.  You saw that when Smith was released, and Deangelo.  Now that's not to say Josh wasn't a well liked teammate.  But it is a little telling.  It's like announcing you're retirement and everyone going "meh."  You just tend to hear a little more chatter about these kinds of things, so I guess it is a little odd.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
