DG understands his importance to the team. It all depends how much Josh wants though. I don't think we'll pay him an amount that would win a bidding war in free agency so if that's what he wants he's probably gone. But I don't think he wants the absolute most he could possibly get--just a respectable amount.

If Person's report a while ago was true, Josh turned down $7M/year before the year. I was shocked by how much that was for DG to offer after only a half a season of good play so I think that shows how much DG likes Josh. 

I think/hope that Josh is just looking for the $10M/year mark--that's what he's mentioned in interviews talking about how people don't think he's worth $10M/year so that may be the mark that he's looking for. If it is, he's a career Panther.

I think Josh truly does want to be here more than anything else so I'm pretty confident we'll keep him. Nervous though that we won't since he may be one of my favorite Panthers in recent memory and if he keeps at it will be one of my favorite of all time.

1.  He'll want the going rate for a top 5 corner.  Probably #1.  Currently, that 14 million.

2.  He won't get that next year because we'll franchise tag him.  12 million or so.

3.  He's 27.  We should get a slight discount on a 3 or 4 year deal unless he wants to hit FA at 28 and take a chance on injury

4 yr for 50 million with 35 guan.

Something tells me Joshs opinion on what he's worth is different from what Gettleman's opinion on what he's worth.

I think 10.5-12 mil/yr is fair but would they both agree to that?

I suppose this next negotiation will tell us a lot more about Norman and Gman both.

Getts trusts his eyes and his checkbook... when he says you're worth $7 million - He means you're worth $7 million. 

He was willing to pay $7M/year for someone who had only been a starter for 10 games (not counting his rookie year where he was basically forced into a starting position which he wasn't ready for at all) and would be taking a huge gamble paying that much for a player who had played well for so little games. That's a ridiculously high offer in those circumstances and now after seeing him not just play as well as he has last year but actually dominate the league all 6 games this year and actually be a reason we've won about half of our games I'm sure he'll up his offer by a fairly large sum.

Reading an article about Josh last week it was mentioned that he and Richardson were tight, so that could work to our favor.  I really think that if he doesn't sign a deal in the offseason DG will tag him.  However, I hope it doesn't get to that.  Josh has repeatedly said that this is where he wants to be and I hope he doesn't let his agent too far into his head and works with the team.  IF we can keep this defense together it could be something special.

Josh is a Carolina guy.   He isn't going anywhere.    The question is how many players want to be here and take a million or two less a year to remain a part of what is becoming one of the best organizations in the NFL.   Working conditions are a real thing.   Playing for a. Winning  team is a real thing.   Our key guys are going to be here a while.

I honestly have no idea what's going to happen with him. Before the season I felt like we could let him go, but he's emerged as a legit shutdown elite corner and those aren't easy to find. We know DG was willing to give him $7 million based on half a season of solid play; is he willing to go double that for a true elite cover guy?

I honestly don't know the answer to that.

Would love to keep Norman but can't see it happening if he wants more than 12 million a year 

 

edit:  to early in the morning for me.  

Just need to sign Star and Short next year besides Norman. 

Cap space looks great next year. Smitty contract comes off next year.So pay the man!

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
