Gettlemen only offered JNo 7 mill per season before the season started

[SIGCHI222]

he's a young 27. not many snaps played his first 3 seasons.

Are you reading what you are writing?

 

Gee, I wonder why that is?

[t96]

Right now I'm more concerned with finding a functional DE anyway.

 

Yo, JPP...bring you and your clubbed hand on down to Charlotte. 

I would love to take a chance on JPP if the Giants were to rescind the tag, which I guess is still a possibility. Extremely unlikely but after a stupid stunt like that and with no idea if he can still play or not he wouldn't command that much money on what would probably be a 1 or 2 year "prove it" contract and he'd have huge upside. Wishful thinking, but as a fan it always runs through one's mind.

I was seriously wondering when the JPP talk would start 

[Car123]

I need to see him agaisnt the top qbs.

Are you seriously comparing Norman to Revis? 

Revis has been the best CB in the NFL for nearly a decade and just helped NE win a SB. NE also let him walk via FA and he was overpaid by a NYJ team that doesn't have to worry about paying a QB $100m.

Norman is only 2 years younger and has played great for about a dozen games in his entire career.  

My point was only about age. Don't read more into that post than that, it isn't there. Corners have longer careers than a lot of other positions. It wouldn't be unreasonable to sign him until he was 34 or so.

i hate to say it but he'll get a big payday with a new team next year unless he gives us a decent hometown discount, its a passing league and shutdown corners aren't easy to find

Franchise tag?

[Ruff]

Jesus Christ, do you people not know how the Franchise Tag works? Use it once. See how the dude performs with a big contract. Use it again, if you have to. At the end of the second one, he'll almost be 30 (if not 30). Then, figure out what you have. 

It's not "omgz signz him to a twenty twenty billion trillion dollar contract or he'll leave us! LEBRON JAMES GAIZ!"

Nice discussion...

7 was very fair. Contracts take in big consideration what the player has done in the past as proof of what you may expect going forward. He has quite a few years of not all a great deal. Now the obvious potential earns him so money but....

 

7 mil is a honest offer.

[KB_fan]

4 year deal, 35-40 million would probably be pretty workable for the team due to CJ's number dropping next year. Either by extension or cutting him, something has to be done with CJ's number.  

 

Fit Josh in for 9-10 million a year, or franchise him, and see if we can't be in the upper tier of contenders in 2016 with KB back, and hopefully an improved DL situation. 

This is a very good point.   While we may possibly go deep in the post season this year, it will be a big challenge having lost KB, Frank Alexander.... now an injury to CJ.... etc. 

Next year really could be the year we have perhaps one of our best chances to go all the way.   Keeping Norman on for the 2016 season could be REALLY important, even if it means franchising him.

[FuFuLamePoo]

I'll be the one to say this summer I wouldn't have offered him more than that either.  

[GoobyPls]

Let go of Charles Johnson.
