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.

    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
