    JOSH NORMANDB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT
    7593.jpg

    ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques suggests the Bills as a landing spot for free agent Josh Norman.

    This is dot-connecting, as Norman played for Sean McDermott during their time in Carolina. The Bills are in the market for a No. 2 corner with Levi Wallace and Kevin Johnson both free agents, so Norman to Buffalo makes some sense. After a disastrous 2019, Norman should settle for a prove-it deal this offseason.

Not commenting on Norman specifically but they are going to have to bring in some veterans in some capacity. Like how Gettleman found some great leadership at the ends of their careers. Guys like Peanut and Harper and Cotchery. Good guys to play a roll and help with the youth.

Josh may have to do a Charles Woodson to extend his career.  As we now know (many of us knew back then) Josh is a zone corner and struggled with man coverage.  I agree with most here saying he's done as a starting corner, but I think unless he does make a transition to a safety, he's washed up altogether.

Josh rode one spectacular season and crazy eyes to millions of dollars. Hopefully he was wiser with his bucks than with his work.

 

Was still one of the best corners in that one season that i've seen in a Panthers uniform. I'd like to see what could've been had he stayed in Carolina instead of chasing money; not that I fault him for that. He's likely around $35 million richer (taxes, fees, etc.) and even without winning, that can buy you a lot of opportunity to continue winning off the field.

That game against Tampa he was in a zone that I have rarely seen from a panther defender.

The most realistic chance of Josh Norman returning here was probably destroyed when Ron Rivera was fired.

That said, Rivera was also smart enough to know that he wasn't worth what he was getting paid in Washington.

As far as now, I suppose it's possible but I'd be seriously shocked if he wound up here.

Yeah, it was a great season. And Josh kept getting high off his own supply. He literally lost his freaking mind that season.

Since Josh has a nice smile & is seemingly well spoken, would not be surprised to see him on the "sport's talk" TV rounds. Guest shots on different shows/networks each week depending on who's playing that week. Possible to end up with a side-kick job on some network somewhere.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
