Panthers rescind Norman's franchise tag...

Teams that looked for a big-time CB in free agency and didn't come up with one: The #Rams, #Bears, #49ers, #Titans, etc. All have cap space.

So I don't fully understand the compensatory picks...This pretty much guarantees us a 3rd next year? Right?

After digging around a bit, sounds like nothing specific happened. It was obvious long-term wasn’t happening & CAR didn’t want distraction.

I have a weird feeling theres more to this than just the money

Ah well, hope Bene is fully healthy and ready to step it up.

You don't test Gettleboss. He'll drop ya fanny and not think twice about it

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

 

Right but if some other team is willing to pay for him and say give us a second/third round pick in the process at least we'd get SOMETHING?

Depends how much he signs for, but yes it is very likely.

Wow, don't understand this, you have superbowl team, you have the cap space to carry the tag this year.  Heck draft his replacement, and let him learn, while Josh is tagged, and let him go next year.  Makes no sense

Hmm. Boykin and Bene outside, with Shaq playing Nickel?

Pretty much figured it was just that. Josh's demands were astronomical but he just wanted Gettleman honestly negotiating and never got it.

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

And yet you want to argue about it like some child. I should have realized replying to anyone that has to come up with the name 'Panther Fan 96' would lack any intellect in posting and just spew whatever comes to mind. Tinderbox is that way.

CBs just aren't worth the money Josh wants. Especially after only 1 productive. Especially with the annoying attitude he has. He's one like Hardy that seems to care too much about his alter ego and getting on ESPN with it and gets too caught up in that

[GoobyPls]

Sorry but this is a terrible move. Norman wasn't gonna hold out, this season would have been the first time he ever made legit NFL money I highly doubt he was gonna miss out on that.

 

3rd round pick for an all pro corner is a joke and anyone whose happy with it is out of their mind.
