Don't mind Jno left. He got what he was worth. I got no ill will towards him. BUT to be fair it's not like he was tearing it up for 4-5 years and didn't get sponsorship opportunities. He had 1/2 year and then followed up with an amazing year and left. No business would have wanted him to sponsor their product after 1/2 year of good football playing on the Carolina Panthers. Maybe this offseason he could have found some but he can't blame sponsorships on Panthers IMO.

Didn't we let Josh do Conan's "Clueless Gamer" segment with Von Miller before the superbowl?
Didn't we let Josh match up one on one with OBJ for the vast majority of that poo-show Giants game media frenzy?
Didn't he get all sorts of interviews and segments about his Batman persona and "Theives Ave"?

Gross essentially was forced into a retirement date when Gettlemen did his deal.

Gross was constantly complaining about the amount of work it took him to keep his weight on during his "This is Gross" podcast.
He probably hated being asked to take a pay-cut, but Gman literally didn't have a choice at that point with how badly our cap was screwed up at like 20 mil over, mostly due to dead money.
He certainly backed that point up about his weight.  Looks like it all shed naturally immediately following his departure.

Norman's franchise tag was rescinded by the Carolina Panthers this past offseason, and he then signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington in April. He told The Magazine that he felt constrained in Carolina, that he was asked to cut down on his trash talk but wouldn't because "I'm not a fake."

He said the team's conservative nature made him expendable.

"They kind of shunned me," he said. "They turned down a lot of stuff for me, interviews, sponsorship deals, stuff I didn't even know about. They wanted it to be about the two main guys, Cam [Newton] and Luke [Kuechly]."

In Washington, he said he thinks he can "grow."

"...t feels like everybody can say whatever they want," he said. "It's a free-flowing kind of place. It's like going from a dictatorship to freedom."

    • FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.
    • That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?
    • Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
