How crazy a year makes.

last offseason some were talking about how josh would never get it. Too much of a hothead that would lose us games. all the physical talent but not a smart player.

flash forward a year and were talking about him being one of the highest paid players at his position.

Doesn't mean he will play under it though

Tagged players sitting out is rare.  Norman hasn't made big bucks in the NFL yet.  He'll multiply his career earnings several times over under the tag.  He's 29 and his big money days are coming to an end.  If we can't work out a deal, he'll play under the tag and then probably cash in on a big payday from a desperate bottom dweller looking to make a splash next year.

I think he meant a deal can still be worked out.

but yeah that's too much money to just sit out, especially for Josh. Life changing money.

those people are dumb because Norman was one of the best corners the second half the 2014 season

This. Too much money for him to sit out but not quite the guaranteed long term deal he is looking for. Value at an all time high right now. Can't say for certain it will still that high after next season. If I'm him a try my hardest to come to terms on a long term deal instead of having to bet on myself AGAIN.

I'm sure he will skip OTAs, but I agree that he will be at training camp for sure.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
