JNo - To Tag or Not to Tag?


Rocky Davis

Recommended Posts

A response I made in another thread, but I thought worthy of its own discussion:

Absolutely love that he has worked so hard to become one of the top, if not the best, corners in the league, but he will be 29 later in 2016 most likely playing under the tag.

I haven't seen any news about his expectations for a new contract, but we have to be careful with term and money.  What kind of contract would everyone be willing to give to Josh with age/salary cap implications?

Gonna have to pay him big (somewhere between 10 and 15mil per year), which is not out of the question, or tag him is what I am thinking.  Either way, I think he'll be a top-five-paid DB for the next three or four years, whether it's as a Panther or something else.

I love JNo.

He loves being a Panther.

But at the end of the day two big important things are left to consider:

1) He wants to get PAID. Like stupid crazy money that we probably don't have available to him. 

2) He is a great player in our system. I have my reservations with him on how he would do on most other teams however, and that's due to how the defense unit plays as a whole. Which brings me to my point. Let's say he is an above average (not elite like a Sherman) at best.  Theoretically if you plugged another above average CB into our system, wouldn't that person have similar results JNO has had?

With that said, regardless of his future at Carolina, I'd put money on we bring in additional talent via FA and draft.

At age 28, Josh has to be really realistic about his earning potential.  Now he could sign a 3 year / $40 million with the first two years heavily guaranteed.  If he's tagged, next off season he'll be 29, looking for a 5 year deal that he won't get.  There has been a tendency for good corners to go down hill at 30.  It's a similar situation to running backs.  It's not always true, but Josh has to be realistic.

If the Panthers let him test the open market, some team would throw $15 million a season at him, but chances are they will be a bad team.  Does he want a Super Bowl as part of a great team?  Or does he want to go else where, make some extra cash and hope they can be as good as us?

Part of that is up to him.

I hope there is some middle ground as I am sure he would rather have a contract than the tag.  

In a majority of situations with smaller market teams, the tag has always seemed to be a negative.

I have thought about the "system" and have wondered if that has helped JNo, but once our secondary started dropping like flies I watched his coverage and instincts and believe he is an elite corner.  He is more in the mold of Revis rather than Sherman (who, IMHO, dropped a level or two this past year).

I am not a contract lawyer or expert, but If we can get him for 10-12 mil per year, I think that would be the middle ground.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
