Panthers Rescind Franchise Tag on Norman. Any interest

[LocimusPrime]

If morris claiborne got 3 mill, norman's worth at least 30 mill a year. Hehehe

 

[AzorAhai]

Thats a load of bull. They could easily get enough to afford his 1st yr hit. Could be as low as 5-6 million. Whether they will or not is certainly doubtful, but they absolutely could if they wanted to.

 

[slick325]

The team in Washington will talk to him. Scotty Mac could see him as their Richard Sherman.

Josh wants $16mil/yr too so...

 

[KingintheNorth]

Good lord. Why would the player accept that?

Of course it is "possible". Why would Norman, at the peak of his career take that, especially if he would not just take the franchise money this year and go back in the pool next season?

Revis has $39 million guaranteed upon signing. The guarantee is made up of his entire 2015 and 2016 salaries and 6 million of his 2017 salary.

In that scenario, made up as it is, Norman gets $34 guaranteed and would get another $13M in 2018 before the team could afford to cut him in 2019.

I'm not saying they should do this, just saying they could and that Norman improves this (or anyone's) defense significantly.

Id leave Ramsey at saftey. With Norman at corner our safteys would be able to roam the field.

Laughable. Won't matter without a pass rush.

 

[lostar2009]

Beckham vs. Norman twice a year. Yeah, I'd like to see it.

No need for Ramsey at that point right?

Play Ramsey at safety.

This plus DL in 2nd & 4th......man our D just improved

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I would have just let him play on the tag
And that makes me wonder why they wouldn't unless there are cap issues with them
Don't see jerry going after him. Big money guy

Cause he is holding out. Panthers have shown to get rid of productive players they don't play the way they want (money etc. Wise) Peppers, Smith, Hardy and now Norman

 

[Q_the_man]

He's not coming to Dallas, period.

Jerry will probably lowball Norman and offer him 4 years 27 mil with a chance to play for America's team.

Sign Norman- draft Zeke, that's 2 birds and 1 stone

Norman is in a different situation than Revis. He had already moved on from his first contract.

I know what I understand locally that Norman is not being reasonable. At all. He really thinks he deserves the moon.

Do you know how players in their career prime think?

Wait, is this one of those "why wouldn't he want a star on his helmet?" things?

I said the Cowboys could sign him and have a low first year cap hit.

You follow by saying he'd want money up front.

Part of keeping a low cap hit would be giving him a huge signing bonus which.... Would give him a ton of money up front.

Again I wonder if you know how the salary cap math works.

 

[Daillest88]

Laughable. Won't matter without a pass rush.

Not if we go dline with our 2nd and 3rd pick

 

[RS12]

Time for surf and turf at Jerry's mansion.

 

[RS12]

Getting rid of Carr is the only way Dallas would have the cap space to make this work.....and it would really be worth it.

Like trading a Yugo for a Vette.

And with the huge signing bonus, he would get more money from that alone than the tag. Add in the base salary and he could get 28 million total for his 1st year and a total of 50+ million in cash money in 3 years before he could be cut

[basstapp]

He probably wants 16 mill a year.

It is not about up front money. He wants a lot of money and he wants a team to "commit". You see that nonsense all the time, players want to "feel the love".

The negotiations between him and the Panthers have not been ugly, but he is asking for the kind of long term commitment that most teams won't do. He could have had good money simply by signing the franchise tag.

and who better to give it to him than the biggest enabler in all of sports?

 

[phildadon86]

Yeah, hes going to jacksonville
