All theses scenarios are fine but bottom line is we need him , as we stand with him we are down 1 good corner if he leaves we go 2 down and i dont think another retread vet or two are going to make up for that.We have needed another starting CB since Gamble left and we are still needing that.

DG will make a more than fair offer to Josh that will make him wealthy enough for many lifetimes over.  

However, if Josh is looking to make top dollar on the free market he is going to get tagged for next season.

At that point the team will find and groom his replacement.  

DG all but said this in his press conference this morning.

Having been a fan like many of you since 1995-96, we have never ever ever had a CB as good as Norman.  I don't want to go back to the pre-Norman era of above average to good CBs like Gamble and Lucas.  I want JOSH NORMAN a shut down CB stud for the next 4 years minimum!  Most teams have a 5 year window to win the Super Bowl once things fall into place, i honestly believed next year was year 1 of that window (i thought we would be a playoff team this year, but not super bowl caliber) Josh better be here for this next 5 years..not the ghost of Terry Cousin and Richard Marshall!

My main issue is Norman is going Richard Marshall on us.........

This is a guy that stayed in the doghouse for 2 years. Once out couldn't beat all world beaters Melvin white, cason, and Florence.

Credit he's play super great for 1.5 years out 4. I always find it funny when a player plays his best in a contract year.

I've come to bill parcells line of thinking about paying CBs 12+ million, let someone else do that. Now if Josh doesn't want to go fight over a extra dollar and a sign a 4 yr 40ish million with a juciey signing bonus. Welcome back....

Honestly after hearing the Gett press conference today, my opinion is that Norman is as good as gone unless he gives one hell of a discount that he shouldn't give because this is his big contract chance.  Gettleman doesn't believe in shut down corners and thinks that they become shutdown once you have a good D-line.  I just don't think he values secondary like he does the Hog Mollies.  He is not going to throw 12 to 13 million at Norman for 1 year.  I wish Josh the best.  Go make that paycheck my man.  You earned it.

This at 28 and having the attention, the probowl, and season and even the 1 catch for 22 yards against him in a Superbowl against Peyton Manning is Joshs 1 chance to get as much money as he can.

Theres no part of me that would blame him.  Hes played on rookie money so far which is great relative to most of us, but not life changing or generational.  He has earned that.

With that said, work out a 3-4 year contract and if its not done before time, then he gets the tag. Period  For the Panthers he is just as important as Kuechly, Star, Short, Thomas Davis and the recently arriving Ealy(assuming that wasnt a one game fluke)

Keep those guys together. Bene may improve or not but hes a great young role player. Coleman is a starter and can stay but not irreplaceable.  

Corners like Josh are hard to find. Denver got lucky because Tampa gave up on Talib too fast.

Let's be real here. Rivera fugged that one up. Norman should have been starting a long time ago. He was too conservative to let him play.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
