Do you think Josh Norman will be here next season?

[CelibatePimp]

So in listening to DG's presser, he said he doesn't like to negotiate deals during the season because it's a distraction. Josh Norman is an UFA agent next season. Greg got extended early in the season, Dickson and now Cam. Do you get the feeling the coaching staff think that our CB situation is a plug and play due to the front seven and are willing to let Josh Norman walk ala Captain Munnerlyn?

[SIGCHI222]

He balls out this year and we won't be able to afford..........wait....what? 

How much $$ do we have next year?

He's here next year if Getts wants him.

[pantherphan96]

If he wants to be paid like a top 5 CB he's gonna get his $$$ from another team (Denver? Jags?)

If he wants to win games Gman will find a way to keep him here. I really hope we keep him since he is the only thing we have close to a shutdown corner.

[t96]

I think he'll sign an extension within the next few weeks to be honest. He wants to be here more than anything in the world, and I'm sure DG sees the value in signing him now and locking up a shutdown corner before he has a true breakout season. Just needed to get Cam done first and now TD and Josh and CJ will all fall into place.

[O-Ther]

Might not be until after the season that we re-sign him. He's had 1 good season and 2 bad ones so far. Consistency isn't on Josh's side. Gettleman may want another good year from Josh so he knows what we're renting. Josh's agent may want another good year to push the $$$ higher.

Better odds on TD and CJ getting extensions imo, but I'll be happy if it does happen

[Mayor Qumiby]

I think if he doesn't cost us a game with penalties and he continues this progress then he will be a Panther for years to come

My lord... I wish people would let that go.

 

How many games did he cost us last year with penalties??  0 

Time to move on bro.

 

I hope Norman retires a Panther.

I think after TD is extended, I'm not sure CJ will be extended, we will sign Norman to a decent deal.  We can use a lot of the cap space we have now and then with a TD extension to pay Norman more this year and lower amounts the next 2-3 years.  I see maybe giving him 3 years MAYBE 4, close to 4-6 million a year, so lets say 4 years 18 million.  He's had one good year, 1 middle of the road year and 1 what was he thinking half the time year.  So we sign him early and get our shutdown corner on the cheap, well cheaper.  KEEP POUNDING!!

[bigskypanthersguy]

I'd like to hope so, but we're also going to get to the point we can't afford to keep everyone sooner rather than later.

[Cary Kollins]

Extending Josh would be the second biggest signing this offseason, but I have a feeling he'll be somewhere else making Texas $$$ next year.  Just the nature of the beast in the NFL.

 

 

Butttt if we could somehow lock him up. Oh wee mayne

[Panther53521]

I think Norman will be extended before CJ even gets considered for an extension

If Alexander balls this year, He will get resigned and CJ will be done

Alexander and Ealy would be the future. 

[panthers55]

I would think that Gettleman has touched base with all the agents for players coming up on free agency. If Norman wants to be here and has another solid year  he will get paid well. But if he wants Richard Marshall "Pay me like the best" type money he will have to go elsewhere. I like him so I hope he does well and stays.

[Moorgan]

I think the smart move is to sign Norman now but I'm not sure how the numbers work. With Cam's contract I don't know how much wiggle room we have for this season. I would love to sign Norman before the season starts. But it would be the 3rd biggest offseason deal. Cam and Olsen take 1 and 2.

[hepcat]

I think it's 50/50.  If they re-sign him now, they get him for a better rate.  He's primed for a career year.  But he probably knows that, and might want to see what he can get elsewhere.  I hope he stays in Carolina because he's a talented player and finally seems to have his head on straight, but it's definitely not a sure thing.

[JawnyBlaze]

Sure as hell hope so.
