Tony Pauline reports......

Carolina Panthers
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.

Thanks for stating the obvious Tony

Well damn @LinvilleGorge you called it

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.

I saw this report but have no idea if this guy is credible. "Walter Football" makes me have doubts.

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.

Pauline is a phony 

not saying we aren't interested in Miller, but this guy just talks out of his ass. 

[Swaggasaurus]

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

Problem is now everyone knows we have interest in corner. So if anyone else has interest in Miller, they know to jump in front of Panthers
