News: ESPN: Josh Norman made last-ditch effort to stay in Carolina

[YosemiteSam]

They offered him 4/44m.....that is a lowball offer and an insult....but he spent 28 of his 28 years in N Carolina, of course he was hurt and didn't want to leave.....a lot like Murray.....if they have had made a fair offer he would have stayed....

He could have signed the franchise tag.

how many All Pro CBs will be drafted in the 4th round this year?

Josh Norman - 5th round pick

Richard Sherman - 5th round pick

Josh Norman - 5th round pick

Richard Sherman - 5th round pick

Everson Walls - Undrafted Free Agent

 

[4lifecowboy]

Management better hope they continue to draft good, free agents may not want to come in the future if the owner developes a reputation for being cheap.

 

[tyke1doe]

Panther fans should be angry about this.


You don't want to resign him? Fine.

But to just let him walk and get 0 compensation for it is just horrible.

Had Dallas have done that I would've exploded.

Ego's got involved and Panthers management didn't do what was best for the franchise.

Do they receive a compensatory pick for him next year?

 

[tyke1doe]

Sounds like Josh shot himself in the foot. Good for him, now he will live in mediocrity and torment as a Foreskin.

I could live with the consequences with a $50 million bonus.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Normans agent doesn't tell him how to play football and Norman doesn't tell his agent how to get him the biggest contract possible.

Norman, by all accounts, wanted to be a Panther and he fired his agent because of all of this.

What do they say. A day late and a dollar short. Josh assumed his agent was doing what's in his best interest. If Josh's interest was staying in Carolina, then Josh assumed wrong. All mistakes begin with an assumption. The moral of the story, don't bleeping assume anything if you aren't willing to accept the consequences of being a complete and total dumb*** who losses what you want.

Person in error and fully 100% responsible for not playing in Carolina next year: Josh Norman.

Are you saying if a Genie offered you $50 million dollars to be transformed into foreskin you would do it?

You seem really emotionally tied to this story so you can have it. I don't care that much.

 

[tyke1doe]

Always nice to sign a guy that is so upset he is on your team that he fired his agent and is crying in his beer.

Especially if he plays for your rival.

Play for the Skins? For $50 million? I'd crush Romo's other shoulder blade and do a war dance over him afterward.

Care about what?

I didn't say play for the skins. I said something more distinct.

 

[fortdick]

From Super Bowl to a traveling band of gypsies, tramps, and thieves.

Okay Cher.

I'd do a lot of things for $50 million.

 

[Chuck 54]

The more important factor is that he was a 5th round matchup zone player who shined in his contract year behind a great front 7, and the Panthers believe, after being so close to the Lombardy trophy this year, that he was expendable and replaceable. They felt even the one year tender money could be spent in other areas to make a stronger team. That says it all.

He just got $50 million guaranteed. He isn't gonna win many football games... but I think he'll be alright.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Nope.. Agent was to blame by all reports.


Still.. Doesn't excuse the Panthers of throwing a hissy fit and not getting compensation for a player like that.

He might have had a crappy agent but he still was a big part. He claims he had no idea how far apart they were....that's on him.

 

[Nightman]

Josh Norman - 5th round pick

Richard Sherman - 5th round pick

This year not in the last 10 years....picking them before the draft is the hard part, not after their careers

 

[Nightman]

He could have signed the franchise tag.

He wanted to when he heard they were going to rescind it.......no one expects the team to pull the offer....the NYG didn't even pull it when JPP blew himself up last year........not signing is stupid imo but agents feels it allows them to hold-out and maintain some leverage........not that it backfired.....he has 51m reasons to like DC....
