After TD and Olsen....Norwell should be Next

TD and Olsen should get done pretty quickly and I hope and pray Hurney doesn't go Jon Beason or Jonathan Stewart crazy on the deals.

I think after these two players.  Norwell needs to get done.  I would think if we offered him the same as Turner we could lock him up.

I believe it is critical to our future.  Kalil as great as he is, isn't going to last forever. Having Norwell and Turner locked up for the next 4 or 5 years will make the transition for a new center much easier than having a free agent.  Not to mention the comfort level Cam will have with these two.

I dont even think TD needs an extension

 

 

 

dude looked bad last year. And a very tape oriented, honest, tell it like it is GM thinks he has deteriorated. Which he has. Time to let the 35 year old linebacker play out his last year of his deal and have him walk

 

that is the smart thing to do. The emotional dumb thing to do is to extend him further repressing Shaqs playing time and making it harder to retain younger guys. 

 

Seems like a lot of you guys are drinking the enotional, sentimental coolaid. Cant have it both ways. Cant dog on hurney but then turn around and say we should extend TD

 

we shouldnt. Period.

I would do Norwell first.  Olsen's already getting paid top 5 money, he just wants a top 5 contract and that's just a matter of extending him.  I wouldn't be surprised if they give him a couple of years on the end just so they can spread out his cap hit a little.

Once you get Norwell done, you have to look at what Star is going to command, and then you know how much you need to manage the cap through Olsen and what you can afford to pay Davis.

I wonder how Gettleman would have done it.  Regardless, I don't think Gano and his $4,000,000 hit makes it out of camp.

SMH.  In comparison to who? 100 + tackles , 3 picks, 4 PD's  3.5 sacks.  Who is that a bad year for?  Compared to the previous year he is off by a few sacks.. but the defense over all was worse, especially in the secondary and early in the year on the pass rush.  Why are people making $%$% up about TD just because he wants an extension?   

He basically took almost 3 1/2 years off due to injury so he doesn't have the wear of someone who played the same amount of time.  Argue the length of the extension all you want, but don't make up poo about his play.  That's fugging stupid.

Norwell should get done before TD, and Greg still has 2 years left, he can wait til next season, no other team in the league gives in when people whine about wanting more money early...you signed the damn contract, now honor your end of it.

 

Do teams always honor the contract the end?   

You people.... it's like you are ...  ugghhhh...

If the panthers want to do TD and Olsen a solid, just restructure and turn more into guaranteed bonus - maybe a small extension. This helps the player out because they are protected in case of injury or getting old and sucking and it helps the team out with cap because we can spread it out. Either way, unless their extensions are necessary for freeing up money to sign Norwell, the TD and Olsen contracts are not where my focus would be. They are both under contract. Focus on the young, dependable guy whose contract is about to expire. He is 100% going to make more money on the market... sign him now. Olsen and TD would not make more if they left when their contracts expire. 

Edit: Also, consider that LT and Center are far from sure things at this point. Why create an extra hole on the line if you can avoid it?

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
