I'd say that's what he's worth within our system...he's a great corner, among the best in the nfl. But the Panthers rely far more on pressure from the front 7 then elite coverage skills from the back end. If we had broken the bank with Jno we might not have money down the road with kk or star, who are more valuable to our defense then an all pro corner would be.

Would have only been the 10th highest paid corner in the league. Just a hair above what Jason McCourty is making in Tennessee. But Norman is the greedy one lol.

I get what you are saying, but that isn't the panthers fault Tennessee over paid for their guy, no reason we should for ours. I'm a big fan of Josh too, no hate towards him whatsoever, glad he got paid...just not that much by this team.

That's what he's worth in our system.  There's no way we could've or should've given him the deal the Skins did.  Not with having Short and/or Star and Turner and/or Norwell to lock up.  Dave is always gonna prioritize the trenches.

Let's see what Norman does in DC.  Maybe he was a product of our system/coaches?  Maybe his brashness goes completely over the top now that he's the highest paid CB in the league and TD isn't around to reel him back in?  We shall see...

1 year of elite play, Josh getting up in age. Now if Josh played at the same level on the franchise tag, then he would have 2 years elite play. Im sure Gman wouldnt of lowballed him then, Josh was just greedy and punched his ticket out of town.

I'm not sure you understand how the FA market works.  Janoris Jenkins had about the same trajectory but didn't even play close to as well as Josh, and got paid a significant amount more than this lowball offer.    When you have a choice between a one year deal at 13/11 mill a year or a 5 year, 75$ million 50 guaranteed deal in your life, come back and tell us you took the cheap route because you're "not greedy".    You aren't an athlete and you aren't making that money.  Also, cut about 50% off the top from taxes and agent fees.  Athletes don't get to hide their earnings in offshore accounts or capital gains, they get hit hard on taxes.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
