I can't believe that the Panthers couldn't get at least a fourth rounder to trade his rights. But I don't think Norman is worth the money .
A major reason why I can't see it happening
New guy walks into the locker room making a ton more than the following major pieces to a SuperBowl (who've been patiently waiting for their own contract)
How do we know that?If we didn't have butler, then sure. But I would rather pay butler next year because
1. Butler won't be looking for 17 mill a year.
2. I think Butler is just as good as Norman AND younger.
On the contrary we could still pay both butler and Norman probably but then we would lose Hightower and Collins, which I would not be willing to do.... Although we could snag jaylon smith in the 2nd round and redshirt him haha.
How do we know that?
The timing does not bode well for the Patriots. If we had Collins, High and Butler already wrapped for a couple more years, then I will say time to start trimming the fat from the roster and making a play for him. But going for him will be too expensive and can have unintended consequences on our own players who need to be paid!!! Revis fell to us at just the right moment.Excellent point. The Patriots would never sign Revis, for example.
Oh, wait....
Yep, bleep him.Carolina really screwed him, at the beginning of FA he could have made a killing, but now, this was basically a FU move by Carolina to Nirman and his agent.
I like this move by Carolina, basically this will blow up any future Franchise tagged player that does not sign his deal. He can only get the money he wants now if he signs for a ****e team, and will make him stand out now as a dud because those around him aren't what he has been playing with, which culminates in him getting cut in 2 years as seems the case with the majority of Free agent big money CB deals.
Will the Panthers get back a 2nd in a compensation.
Win Win for the Panthers and all the Owners.
As with Von Miller.. 20m on a non QB is insane.
I'd like him to wind up in the NFC East but not in NY. Twice a year he and ODB tangling. Could be very entertainingImagine Norman sign with the Giants.. the awkwardness with Odell Beckham Jr. At least practice will never get dull again.
