Carolina rescinds tag on Norman


Recommended Posts

Just throwing it out because it really becomes Norman & a 2 or Gilmore. Again, it's not likely (at all) but I'm just throwing it out.

 

I'm curious to see the deal Norman gets. Gilmore isn't signing anything until the market is fully set.

 

Panthers picked the worst time to do this from our standpoint.

Terrific decision by the Panthers. I have been saying throughout that he is 28 and has a good season and a half. He started 2014 on the bench, yes he has played very well since, but it is just too big a gamble. How many corners continue to play at a high level into their 30s? It isn't many. He allegedly wanted 6 years... you are not going to commit to him for that long at a big ticket price... even 4 would be a push for me.

Lol what the heck is this!? A zone safety? Mrhmm your Bills biased is a little strong on this take.

Heads up Gilmore is better but compared to Norman and a pick that could be Darby (or kujo) it's an interesting talk.

 

The dollars would make a difference in the discussion though.

 

What's the hypothetical pay on each?

I am thinking similar. Apparently the Panthers wanted Norman for $11M. Maybe something like the 5 years and $65.5M that Haden got? At least I think that he got about $13M a year on average. Again, just throwing it out for conversation sake.

I get that, but Carolina controls the strings. They basically gave Norman what he wanted. You would think they could use his services this year if he refused the trade. What does freeing up $14MM at this point do?

there was the possibility of not signing the tag until after camp...maybe missing all OTAs including camp and becoming a pain during the process

I'm seeing a lot of zone corner shaming going on. Acting like it's not a skill, get the !@#$ outta here.

Oh that's just jtsp going jtsp again. It's a thing.

 

Top 4 dominant corner this season is somehow not as good as Corey graham.

It's remarkable how few there are that can play man coverages and zone coverages equally well, though.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Carolina couldn't trade Norman because he wasn't under contract as he didn't sign his tender, this is why they could rescind it.

 

In my opinion this is a mistake on Norman's part. There's a limited market for him at this point so he's going to get much less money than if he played under the 14 million tag for a year and became a free agent next year.
