Remember when everyone was angry that the Panthers cut WR Jarrett Boykin last year....

Huddle gonna huddle. 

 

Do you think he would even be in consideration for the squad this year? Seems like just looking back at that situation really brings how much the unit has improved into focus. Boykin was basically a less talented Norwood, who probably won't even make the team this season.

Well I would have rather had Boykin last year and the 7th round pick we gave up for Norwood than Norwood since he contributed absolutely nothing so there's that. 

Nope. He contributed to a red zone interception so there's that.

I don't put that one on Norwood. Cam's arm was hit during the throw which caused it to sail high and right. He barely got his fingertips on the ball.

ehh, i forgive it. losing benjamin in camp was a major blow and throwing some poo at the wall was due dilligence for gettleman. norwood was no world beater but facing a season without your top receiver it's not much of a gamble to throw your 7th-rounder at a shot to repair a little bit of the damage.

Nah he still got his hands on the ball it just went right through his hands. Watch the replay.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
