Here's why it will be hard for Norman to come back...

So I have seen a lot of people in the camp that he comes back....here's why he won't....

First off, if he returns to Gettleman, the offer Getts will make will not be as sweet as it was when they were negotiating. This is a major rule of negotiation. The first offer, is usually the best.  So he would be offered less money than his original negotiations.

Norman is clear he is all about the money.  Now he will test the market and will probably recieve better offers than what the Panthers offered, but certainly not the $16 million he is asking for.  He has likely already found this out, hence why he hired another agent.

So I just don't see any circumstance where he can possibly come back.

People that say this clearly don't understand Josh. 

Sure we don't have the direct connection like you do. But I am calling it like I see it from my view. 

Maybe his original agent is all about the money?  Hell I don't know, all I do know is he ain't getting the last deal he was offered by Getts if he were to start renegotiating with Carolina.

I'm not really buying that. I don't think GMan is an asshole. I think he offered what he thinks Josh is worth. I can't imagine if they were to pick up the negotiations again he would all of a sudden just offer him less because of what's happened. Obviously just speculation but GMan seems like he's a business and of Josh is worth X to him then that's the offer

Umm, I'm pretty sure it's the opposite. We didn't start at $12M and when he said no countered with $11M.

Sorry, I wasn't fully clear, what I am implying by "first deal" meaning the last/largest amount offered by Carolina.

There's no reason whatsoever to believe that Gettleman's offer wouldn't still be on the table.  Gettleman said that paying $14mil for one year without the hope of a long term deal was becoming unattractive.  Not his offer to Norman's agent.  Gettleman don't play no games.  If he said Norman is worth $11 or 12mil to the Panthers, that's what he believes he's worth.  That number isn't going to go down.  Gettleman didn't get hurt feelings and will lower his offer out of spite.  If Norman came back with his new agent and said "Ok Mr. Gettleman, you win.  I'll take your offer."  I don't believe for one second that Gettleman would tell him to fug off.

The first offer is always the best offer?  What???  Neither side is going to put their best offer on the table right away.  If this was the case there would never be any actual negotiating.  Josh probably came to the table wanting $16M, but maybe willing to take $14M.  Gettleman probably came to the table offering $10M but maybe willing to go to $12M.  Gettleman saw the gap in between and neither side was budging so he called it off.  The above numbers are just a guess, but I imagine it went down something like that.

I really wouldn't consider it a dick move, that type of tactic is very common in business.

You OBVIOUSLY didn't see his explanation.  By "first offer is the best" he meant "last offer is the best".  How could you possibly confuse that?

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
