Norwell restricted FA ....ready for big money

[Jmac]

Regardless of the post season results. It's 2018 and he will be looking to get paid. Hired D.Rosenhaus as his agent and it wont be easy to negotiate a team  friendly contract. He is the real deal and we really can't afford to lose him. What are the options with him bring a restricted FA. How do we get this done without killing the cap.....opinions?

Pretty sure he's unrestricted.

He was a RFA last year. He'll be unrestricted this year. He can go to the highest bidder and the Panthers will receive nothing unless we get a comp pick next year.

  I would have to imagine that we would get 3rd for him, given the salary he will command and level of play(barring injury). But I don’t have a clue what the actual criteria of formula is. Just a guess based on the past.

It also depends on who we sign in free agency. You basically have to get fleeced to get a 3rd round comp pick.

Sign the man to extension that benfits both sides of the party.

Panthers foundation & priority should be the interior OL.

we better kick star out to make room for norwell. Star has done nothing for us in the run game. We keep getting gashed up the middle. We can find a solid NT to replace him.

  See. That’s what I mean...lol. I knew that part and just forgot about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Sign the man.

If he won't be reasonable then draft his replacement. It's not hard to find a good OG in the draft. We're fine.

I believe we already did.... MOTON

[Panthers8969]

Oline was actually fantastic this year minus LT kalil. With a healthy CS and byrd wed be fine. Then draft ESB/Kirk whoever or sign a vet like crabtree

[usmcpanthers]

Hurney will open the checkbook for him.

I think this is very likely. Moton will end up kicking inside to take Norwell's spot now that Williams is establishing himself as a very good RT. We'll draft another OT.
