Panthers rescind Norman's franchise tag...

[chknwing]

any chance Richardson had a say in this?

Look at you people suddenly calling Norman overrated and mediocre the second he's shown the door. What an embarrassment. Have some pride in yourself, even good GMs like Gettleman can make mistakes and can be questioned.

Norman is a POS I am glad he is gone.

You're confusing rethinking strategy and money. Please try to keep up.

how do you think this changes KK's contract negotiations at all? KK was going to get top 5-10 DT money regardless.

Please don't go to the Bucs.

assuming he wants at least $16 million a year, there are currently only 8 teams (Panthers excluded) with more than $16 million in cap space: Jags, 49ers, Browns, Titans, Bears, Giants, Colts, and Bucs.

49ers. Jags. Bucs. Raiders. I expect it to be one of those 4 teams.

anyone who is acting like josh has been innocently sitting by and not signing the tag and not hinting that he wasn't worried about ever doing it is blind. gman didn't just do this because he got heated in negotiations or is proving a point.

beautiful things can turn out to be poison. i'm sure no one would be happy if we're sitting here in december wondering why our team is arguing on the sideline and dropping games. if there is any threat to the team you gotta cut the cord no matter how bad it hurts.

Ohwell, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

i doubt it since JR is his mentor/life coach

[BombzAway]

Well its a moot point now but was there no possibility to sign him and trade him for SOMETHING? The Panthers seem to be the kings of letting productive players just WALK...

I better give Twitter a rest today fml

Looks like the focus will continue to revolve around building a strong front seven and piecing together a value minded secondary.  

We have a major need for a starting CB now though, value or otherwise.
