Kevin Seifert - Why Carolina Panthers got the Josh Norman decision right

There had to be more to the story, right?

The Carolina Panthers cut loose an All-Pro cornerback with no guarantee of compensation and no indication of chronic injury, rancor or regime change. It would be easy to slam Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman for arrogance and incompetence, or at the very least impatience, after his decision to rescind cornerback Josh Norman's franchise tag. But after a move this rare and unconventional, it made sense to wait for an explanation before pouncing.

Gman has this. How many times have these talking heads questioned him? Almost every time and each time they ha r been wrong. The author of that article is right on. Norman will make little to no difference wherever he ends up.

First person I've heard out of the mainstream media that isn't claiming the Panthers are crazy.

I have heard nowhere that J-No is some stud DB. Yes, he's good but no one is or has been comparing him among the elite DBs outside of his inner-circle.

His belief in himself is gonna take a hit, especially when opposing GMs figure out why his tender was redacted. 

There's just so many red-flags popping up, especially considering GMan on the record saying "we don't develop players for other teams."

Looks like last year's pundits doubting our WRs are onto our DBs.

The funny thing is that we can improve our Dbackfield by strengthening our DL.

Hawg Mawlies and poo.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
