I'm told part of the reason the Carolina Panthers removed the franchise tag from Josh Norman, which allowed him to enter the free agent market, is due to the fact the team did not want to sign a 28-year-old cornerback to a big-money long-term contract, which included guarantees into his 30s. Norman will turn 29 years old this coming December.

I have been informed the Panthers like Southeastern Louisiana cornerback Harlan Miller and will consider him as the third round closes out. The team had two defensive back coaches working out Miller.

Analysis

Strengths

Plays with quick, darting feet and has the ability to mirror and match receivers' movements down the field. Is always in hot pursuit in run support and is willing to sprint across the field to get into the action. Tenacious wrap-up tackler. Tall with good arm length. Will actively look for chances to make plays outside his area. In press, reads direction of release and slides feet in front of receiver to impede his route. Able to shift weight and change direction instantly. Hard-­charging competitor with ball skills to boot.

Weaknesses

Thin and scouts question whether or not he can carry much more weight. Aggressiveness can get him in trouble. Will get caught peeking into backfield at play-­action and allow his man to get a jump on him from time to time. The footwork is there, but needs to improve angles to the ball to make more plays. Slow 40 time and overall disappointing combine likely to ding his draft stock.

NFL Comparison

Kevin Johnson

Bottom Line

With his abundance of energy and tenacious playing style, it's hard not to love watching Harlan Miller play. While Miller is a willing tackler and shows the feet to mirror and match in space, his poor speed and quickness testing at the NFL Scouting Combine raises serious questions when combined with his thin frame. Miller's strong week at the Senior Bowl will work in his favor, but he might be a good third cornerback rather than a full-time starter.

Didn't Gman offer $11 mil x 4 yrs.  That's big money long term.  Go to DC with that un-named source bull.  Good luck Josh, but dag I wanted you to stay.

I read this and thought this was about Norman, pretty much describes him.

Well as I posted in my mock draft a couple of weeks ago, we had a private visit with Miller, went out to dinner with him, etc. So there's clear interest. I do be believe that we trade up into the third as soon as it appears any kind of threat is possible.

Dinner and a movie afterwards. very romantic

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
