Trai Turner interview on NFL Network

[CPF4LIFE]

Arguably the best in the league at his position and is do a new contract soon. Better stop doing interviews before the fanbase turns on you.....we have all seen how this works LOL.

Seems not only really intelligent but a great guy as well.  Hope he retires a Panther.

 

With 4 rings.

Honestly would be ok with extending him now and overpaying currently, before the cap jump and guards start making even more money. In fact, this could be expanded to a bunch of different players. It would be wise to extend a lot of our young guys now

Where are the we can't afford to.pay Trai because we have other guys to sign posts that we see with KK?

Love listening to trai but I loathe that fat fug jamie Dukes and his "GM malpractice" bs

What did jamie say about malpractice? Now and in the past?

[CPantherKing]

Trai let it be known how the players took the loss of Norman. It was a "huge" loss. The disgust/disappointment for the front offices decision was written all over his face - not to mention the voice inflection.

These young players have been put on notice that this is a 'business' first, and they will be going after truck loads of guaranteed money. No team discounts from any of them. They looked up to Norman and fed off him.

I doubt Gettleman gives any of them their market value in guaranteed money. The players at the top of their position will all go elsewhere. Expect Gettleman to draft their HOPEFUL replacements just like Vernon Butler and the CBs this year.

Well it was the past I'm just, admittedly, bad with holding grudges Haha but before 2014 he accused Gman of "GM Malpractice" with regards to the state of our secondary and Oline and went as far as to suggest Cam would should leave if a GM wasn't willing to surround him with talent. He may have had a point with the Oline which was horrendous until the later part of the year but we still won the division and got a playoff win. Haven't really much cared for him sense, maybe I'm being childish

They looked up to norman and not guys like olsen, cam, luke, TD?  All have team friendly contracts.

GTFO.

You're seeing what you want to see.  Some disappointment, surprise maybe.  Disgust.  I didn't see it at all.

I hope I have the time to flush out what I posted in another thread about all of the upcoming FAs, but I'd think Turner will get $10M per year and Norwell in the $7M range. Maybe we can get Norwell cheaper. I think he's good, but I am not sure he is a top 10 guard like Turner is top 5. I'd like to extend both, period.

This is also where the KK stuff is interesting. Would you rather have Turner + Norwell or KK? That's going to be a decision to make, especially if Boston or Ealy or Coleman or Benjamin or Star or maybe even Johnson or maybe all of them have solid seasons. They are all up for contracts very soon and KK at Cox money will mean we likely couldn't sign a couple of them. Short is 27. Star is 26, Turner is 23, Norwell is 24, Benjamin is 25, Boston is 24 and Ealy is 24. Maybe franchising Short and not signing him long term is smart.

There in lies the issue, while I LOVE Norwell I think he is more a solid Guard who beat the odds and is producing at a higher level than anyone could have expected as opposed to just a top 10 stud player. We as fans tend to value that more than GMs in charge of millions of dollars. He has earned job security in the 5 to 6 mill a year Range. 

If it were me I'd rather lock him and Trai up and keep our 100mill $ stud upright than hamstring the cap to meet market value on KK. We've seen what Cam can do from the pocket with protection, so that should always be priority numero uno! 

Also like you pointed out we are more than likely gonna have to fork out a sizable amount to KB eventually, Star is gonna get his, I definitely do not envy GMan...

norman was basically the glue that held the team together obviously

what looked like so called "leaders" like TD and luke bitching him out and holding him back and trying to talk him out of drawing a 15 yarder every week was actually them asking him what to do on the next play
