You basically have to be Lebron or Cam to get a tag and trade to work. 

or a great like Corey Williams, Matt Cassell, etc

Basically this. Once you start down that road, teams know they can just wait it out and get a player for nothing on the open market, and maybe for cheaper. 

I doubt any team thought Carolina was going to rescind the tag this year.  Means they would have to compete a year from now under different circumstances, cap, needs, etc that they would have.  

So if you thought Norman could be a missing puzzle piece now....I don't buy the wait it out approach because everyone assumed he would be tagged and possibly walk a year from now

I'm talking like right now why wasn't there a sign and trade not back at the start of signing season.

You could still make the same case...Panthers trying to trade now because they know a long term deal won't work (and are looking for an option now vs letting him walk next season).  Still doubt if a team got a call now they would think Panthers would let him walk today.  

I mean if you are Carolina...nothing changed from when you tagged him earlier.  They knew a deal wasn't getting done with him IMO.   You see guys play tagged all the time as rentals.  They could still talk.  I don't think anyone would have seen this coming

Because Maybe nobody wanted to trade for him. Only a fool witll trade for a free agent who wants to break the bank.

2017 3rd round comp pick we will get was probably better than any trade offer..

Right.. it's not guaranteed but once he signs his next contract we will get it

Speaking of, Hurney would've signed Norman to a 20 mill contract

Josh didn't sign the tender to begin with, then if we'd have signed him to a long-term deal (one that Josh would have signed to begin with - 16mil/yr) no team would have traded for him with that contract. Sad thing is, I doubt Josh will get 16mil/year, probably more like 10-12/yr, which he probably could have gotten here.

Probably still can if he can put his pride aside.
