Panthers in talks w/Josh Norman about extension

[The Huddler]

He is / will be a shutdown corner. Some of you are selling him short

[R0CKnR0LLA]

You guys realize that good free agent CBs get 8-10 million per year deals all the time. If we got him at 4-5 it would be a bargain.

[Daeavorn]

I honestly don't know much about who gets paid what, but Norman is awesome and is the fire on our D. We need him.

[MHS831]

He will be 28, I think.  I would offer 10m for 3 seasons and feel great about it.

 

He has been on the bench more than the field.  If he regresses, he could be unemployed.  This is security, and I think he takes it.

Exactly, deal would likely be between 5-6 million a season. Might be able to go under that because of it being one season of major success, but not much lower though.

Tops would be 4 mil a year.  We have a lot of others to take care of also.

 

 

If Norman really had the potential to be one of the best, if not potentially the best corner in the league, that would be an absolute steal for us.  Old man Revis (of course he's probably not that old, but I think his best years are behind him) is getting paid 12 million this year, though it's technically a one year deal.  I think Norman could reach a Revis-like level.  I wouldn't pay the man 12 million, but right now, I think 7-8 million would be fair.

[t96]

I could easily see Norman taking a sub-$5m/year deal. Would be absolutely fuging huge for us and our future if he does that. Lock him up for 5 or 6 years, I want this man here for the rest of his career.

[TheSpecial1]

3yrs 30 mil

[OneBadCat]

He'll yes extend this man. I thought I was going to get in before the "but he'll be 28" post but I guess not. He doesn't have a lot of wear and tear and his game isn't based on speed. He could be good for a while.

There's a team option on Revis' deal that if picked up would pay him $20M next year. Outrageous. Hell Alterraun Verner is making $6.5M/year and he's a shaky #2 at best. $7-8M would be fair if we knew he would continue playing the way he did as a starter this season. Too much of a risk though given that it's such a small sample size. $5M/year would be good for both sides I think.

[TheSpecial1]

Josh has come a long way since being in Rivera's dg house.

[Pox 08]

4 yr, $32M,  $8M guaranteed,  would be my guess.            With a ton of escalators in there. 

[Icege]

Please lawd make it happen

[TheRumGone]

lock him down (cam too) before they explode
