I wouldn't take Norman over Chris Gamble in his prime (heck, an argument could be made for Eric Davis).

He's great, but not necessarily the greatest.

I give Gamble the longevity argument but the single best CB season for a Panther goes to Norman in my opinion and I don't think it's that close. Gamble at his best was a pro bowler. Norman at his best was the top CB in the NFL. Davis' 1996 season was closer to Josh, but he fell off a bit after that.

Josh puts in work to be good, he surely did this past season by reports. Constantly staying after to get better and it showed. We lose his work ethic, his passion, his aggressiveness and a good player on the defensive side of the ball, the side of the ball where you gain stars not lose them

And then he's going to the Redskins. Oh god no please go elsewhere Josh. I have to see these mfers post on this other site and thats all I'm going to hear next season. fug that bum ass team

That phrase "for one season" is kind of a big deal.

Lots of guys who have one great season don't have another.

I never said anything remotely like this. I don't have any issue with a player trying to maximize their income, but I've grown tired of Norman telling everyone how great he is all the time and constantly talking about money. 

I promise you he'll end up regretting this decision because once you include taxes and cost of living, I doubt the difference in money is that significant.  But with Norman it is all about ego. 

Sorry, I didn't mean you in particular. Should have phrased it better.

God, idk what's more annoying. Josh Norman chasing the money from a trash team, or all these stupid articles bashing Dave Gettleman for releasing JNo.

I don't care how you try to paint it. If he goes elsewhere, it is CLEARLY about the money...

Should it not be? This is what he does for a living. Would you not leave your job if you were offered a much better salary elsewhere, even if the job is further from home and with an overall shittier company?

It can be about the money. That is fine. But if it is about the money, don't try to represent it like it isn't about the money.

Like I said, I would love to have the problem of taking 9-10 million instead of 13-16 million. But I wouldn't lie to my coworkers, employers, and myself and act like I don't care about the money and say it is about respect or some other such nonsense.

He's very good in our system, and that's not an insult.

Truth be told, I'd say the same thing about Sherman, Peterson...probably every other corner with the possible exception of Darrelle Revis. There really aren't that many true 'shutdown corners' out there.

Unfortunately, Norman isn't one either, but he wanted to be paid like he is.

You can take virtually any CB and put him in a bad fit....and he will suffer. 

Hell, Revis Island didn't exist when he was in Tampa.  Many forget that.  They basically asked Revis to play similar to Norman.   Could argue Norman is better at what he does than if Revis is asked to.

He's currently at Washington and isn't expected to leave with out a deal in place.

Washington..  Lol.  Have fun with that joke of a franchise and their fluke qb

fug this bullshit.. i just want the season to start so we don't have to talk about him leaving.. this is almost as bad as Smitty leaving because Josh is going to the Skins.. I am working from home today and can basically drive 5 minutes and see Josh right now.. that's how close i live to the Skins facility..

The stench must be almost unbearable

Goodbye JNo. Nice knowing you. Just know you're not getting a ring for the length of your contract. Maybe come back in about 2-3 years for vet min. when you're exposed?
