We definitely saw it coming, but talk about some downer news for Josh looking to his last audtion possibly looking t test FA on the biggest stage, Adam.

"Downer"!?

He'll probably be making $12-$16 mil a year.

And then he'll have the opportunity to renegotiate, and end up signing with the Panthers or another team for a whole lot more than he's making now (as this year, when being franchised).

Meh, Schefter just bored it something.

Not the best time for this news.

I wonder if this was timed to try and mess with Josh's head.  He's very active on Twitter.  Hopefully he's nowhere near Twitter today.... but still.

Obviously Josh knows what's up..., he's a smart guy.  But ANY distractions today could be bad news.

Unnecessary distraction from the task at hand.

As if the Panthers organization is talking about this today of all days.

Thanks for nothing Adam Schefter.

Well, he did pick the Broncos.

Still amazes me that the NFLPA didn't get rid of the franchise player tag during the lock out.  All the players hate it!

It's better for the game I think.  It helps out the smaller market teams.

To anyone who says this is some kind of distraction. 

It's not news to the parties involved, only you. How could this distract Norman? He's known this.

breakimg news: it is likely night if it is not day.

This is almost equivalent to tampering... 

No way this organization said something like this before the SuperBowl. Something is afoot.
