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...

Norman has to sign the franchise tender before that can even happen.

Im not even gone . You got to remember our defense was great in 2013 with the worst corners . Its all about pass rush . Im sure well find a replacement

Gett always has the future of the team in mind. 

 

This is the right move and that will become clear in 2017 and 2018.

cause he wouldnt show up and hed be the greg hardy destraction all over again

I think that's one of the biggest concerns with this.  They don't want any distractions, and this is a pretty big one.  Keeping that locker room as close to what it was last season, seems to be a very big priority.

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

Kk gonna ask for 16m a season. Lol

When reading these negative comments about Norman, and basically scoffing aside his departure as inconsequential, I'm reminded that this is the same place that once celebrated the arrival of Antoine Cason.

Yeah, people are getting ridiculous with the hubris and Norman slander. I really hate to see him go because I love his personality, passion and damn play he brought last season.

Oh no, he is asking for at least $18M a season. We will be lucky to get him for $16M.

Unless Hardy and CJ reappear, what pass rush? All I see right now is Ealy and he works best on the left, the same side as CJ. And CJ definitely going to take his snaps

Exactly, Norman wasn't signing till the Panthers made him a serious and honest long term deal.
