Odds were already stacked against us because we lost the SB, but I knew we were going back

But now without a corner we know can hold his own against any WR it's definitely not happening now. Unless we get that it's not going to happen. Our pass rushers isn't = Ware & Von 2015, even then Broncos still had Talib. I hate Seattle even more now, they kept Sherman, Kam & Earl together. Josh was a reason so many fans and players were so salty last year and I enjoyed every minute of it damn. Good luck to him

CAR will be okay. Even though CAR's pass rush wasn't the greatest CAR won a lot of games without him before.

If you have watched the Panthers since it all began in 95' like I have, think about how special Josh Norman was.  The Panthers never had a CB put up remotely close to the season he put up.  The closest a CB in our franchise history ever came to Josh's level of dominance might be Ricky Manning and it was for two games lol.  Watching him last year was amazing, knowing whoever came onto the field was getting shut down, all the way up to the SB when he shut down DT.   A shut down CB like Norman is not easy to replicate, that's why we've never had one in our franchise history.  Sucks we only got to enjoy in for a year and a half..Best CB in franchise history shown the door in a year we are Super Bowl favorites and can afford him, makes sense.

Sure, we could have afforded him this year, which is why he was tagged. He WOULDNT SIGN THE TAG. Letting Josh go now was good business for both sides,and gives the Panthers room to long-term younger players like KK and Star. This team is aiming for perennial greatness, and this move proves that. Makes sense.

Good luck seeing another D like Denvers next year or Carolina's 2013 squad.. that is pure luck. :)

Gettleman knows he has to keep spining to get lucky not do what Seattle did... keep the 3 wise men together...

We've grown from a wretched unpredictable franchise in cap hell, to 3 time division champs, conference champs, perennial contenders with $30+ mil in cap space and the draft still in front of us.  Tell me again how one player changes this?  Cam and Luke are the only players on this roster with the leverage Josh thought he had.

To the OP, Josh is never going to the Super Bowl without the Panthers and the Panthers will most certainly go again without Josh.
