The Panthers did him a favor by turning down interviews because I could barely understand what he was saying.

Right. 

I didn't agree with the lifting of the franchise tag, but the more he speaks, the more I understand. Josh is selfish, and so wrapped up in himself. He would not have fit in here, and he probably would have been a distraction here after too long.

We built our franchise around Cam Newton.  We aren't conservative.  He is the most dynamic and showboating QB in the NFL

I think they wanted Norman to cut back on the stupidity more so than trash talk.  I mean, Thomas Davis had to make sure he wasn't getting flags on a routine basis. That crosses the line from trash talk to dumb and was a constant worry.

also, I don't buy the Atlanta Norman is what the staff wanted from Norman

This. Josh Norman was starting to get out of hand and we were lucky that he didn't get more 15yd penalties. He needs to shut up and play ball.

Just trying to put a happy face on his decision to chase money instead of championships.

Norman's franchise tag was rescinded by the Carolina Panthers this past offseason, and he then signed a five-year, $75 million deal with Washington in April. He told The Magazine that he felt constrained in Carolina, that he was asked to cut down on his trash talk but wouldn't because "I'm not a fake."

Yeah something doesn't add up here.

No salt with me here, but I'm so over hearing this BS from Norman. I hope he fails miserably and gets exposed this season. Enjoy the DC fanbase/media when you do fail, and more importantly enjoy all that money!

 

...ok, maybe there is a little salt.

So let me get this straight- as an organization we let Steve Smith be Steve Smith but we handcuffed the almighty Josh Norman?

get real

To be fair... we also cut ties with 89 cus he wouldn't submit to the style of the FO.

[Jangler]

Also, it would be interesting to see these sponsorship deals he didn't even know about...back that up, or you're probably full of sh!t.

CPI Security. Identify yourself.

Guy with no outside experience says we're a dictatorship. Guys like Jared Allen, Charles Tillman, Roman Harper, Michael Oher, Ted Ginn say otherwise.

On the field maybe, but he got his contract, he's getting his publicity, and we saved our money and eliminated a distraction from this team.

We went 15-1 last year and that "distraction" was a big reason why

[Riverboat Ron]

Gettledouche let Norman go because he wants Cam to fail.

That's an excellent point. His experience with the Redskins hasn't even really started. Wait until he takes his first few personal fouls and we'll see how his defense feels about Josh being Josh.

It's ovbious to me he's mad he's not still a Panther. He's acting childish and pathetic as hell. Have fun with your new team Josh.
