tanatastic 2,061 Posted April 20, 2016 This is shocking. He is about to get a huge deal. The team knew they had no shot at landing him long term so just let him go now instead of paying the tag cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team knew they had no shot at landing him long term so just let him go now instead of paying the tag cost. I think its probably the right move. Those things are a distraction no matter what his teammates will say. They would have been asked daily about his contract situation and what they think about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 20, 2016 From Panthers.com... "After a number of conversations with Josh’s agent we realized that a long-term deal was not attainable," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "We have decided to rescind the Franchise Tag freeing Josh to immediately become a UFA. We thank Josh for all his contributions and truly wish him well."

Criper 24 Posted April 20, 2016 Teams currently with the most 2016 cap space: 1. Jags 2. 49ers 3. Browns 4. Titans 5. Giants 6. Bears Could Titans or Browns make another splash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,457 Posted April 21, 2016 Jags need to pull of this move and sign him. If they can land him and if they continue moving the ball like they did last year and can get a big boast like this move on defense they could win that divison this season .

BobSanders_33 127 Posted April 21, 2016 Saw $14mil+ per being reported. His skills match perfectly with Carolina. I don't think he is a perfect fit for a team like Jacksonville. There is word that the 49ers are one of the front runners right now. Josh Norman playing for Chip Kelly. That would be a disaster. Norman seems like a guy that will want a big market like New York or Miami. As a Raider fan I don't think there is room but if they are looking to make a splash at compete for a championship Norman would be huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Raider fan I don't think there is room but if they are looking to make a splash at compete for a championship Norman would be huge. Though it's not mutually exclusive, Norman is a cover 3 cornerback. Look at the highlights NFL Network is running on him, sitting back in a zone then breaking a pick six on WRs doing down and out routes. We're a bump and run team. Plus where does he play? The slot? Both Amerson and Sean Smith are big fast outside CBs. Believe me, another top cornerback gives us one of the best secondarys in the league (to go with the best offensive line in the AFC ). But I'd rather draft a William Jackson III at 14 to do so. Dallas can cut Brandon Carr and free up 10 mill. I'm thinking this has Jerry Jones cannonball splash written all over it lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 21, 2016 First Gregory and now Lawrence, your defense is going to wrong way. Hardy? Oh heck no to that head case too... I think we'll find a way to survive. The addition of Thornton helps (thank gawd) and still have the surprising Irving. We can kick Tyrone Crawford out to end, plug Irving in the middle and then have the likes of Jack Crawford and McClain fill in.. Plus - no doubt we will be taking an end or two in this years draft - they will just have to be ready to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,125 Posted April 21, 2016 I'm surprised no one is talking about the Packers, don't be surprised if they don't come in and make him an offer, this is just the type of free agent I could see Ted pulling the trigger on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather have my second and take a chance with a Jason Spriggs or LeRaven Clark. Ramsey is a fit there with Byron Jones? Which one plays in the box? I think teams drafting Ramsey at safety are making a mistake, that guy is a cornerback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can never have enough athletes in the secondary.. Jones is a natural safety, who was forced into corner last year due to injuries... With Ramsey on board, he and Scandrick (who returns) are your starting corners - Jones moves to free safety. Carr can opt to redo his deal or he can hit the road.. And of course, Claiborne resigned for 1 more year so he will be available too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lesjroza 70 Posted April 23, 2016 Good for the Skins if they can afford it and not put their cap in a bind. He's a very good player but I don't think he is shutdown against top #1s. In the matchup with the Giants & Beckham the Panthers clearly won the war as they had Odell playing on tilt.......... but I watched that game and to my eyes Jr flat smoked him on routes that were covered by Norman. I also remember being concerned about Julio on most of my FF teams last year playing the Panthers twice near the end of the year, and that didn't end up being a problem either.

Kopy 491 Posted April 23, 2016 I am all for a guy who can shut down half the field. He is still plenty young where a 5 year contract shouldnt have too much bad money on it.That's the same exact reason why I like Richard Sherman so much. People knock him because he doesn't follow a number 1 all over the field. But to me, when you have 1 guy that can shut down 1 entire side, it just seems to really schematicaly (if thats a word) free up the entire defense. Plus it doesn't matter what look the offense gives you, theirs not alot of movement and getting guys in position that the MLB has to call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
