Josh Norman just became a UFA

[Aquapod770]

The Panthers recinded their franchise tag on the corner. I know it's got a negative percent chance of happening, but a guy can dream right?

[Bengalsrob]

Wow, somebody will pay the big bucks, but it won't be us, we couldn't keep Jonathan Joseph, and Norman is on a whole different level. But it's nice to dream, I'd love to see him locking down Steeler receivers who have the added fear of Burfict lurking somewhere around them as well...it IS nice to dream!!

[BobJones4980]

What are they even doing? This is just idiotic.

[CageTheBengal]

Maybe they're setting an example for the team? Look at what happened in Seattle.

Norman wanted Darelle Revis money and refused to sign his tender.

Rivera has enough trouble babysitting camby mamby.

This is a good call.

The Bengals need to sign this man. Cemet our defense as the biggest assholes in the NFL.

Sorry man but cutting an elite CB one year removed from getting to the Super Bowl is a bad move. 

If they felt Norman wasn't worth a long term deal at 28 then you keep him on the tag and draft his replacement to adjust this season and move on. Not like they can do much with the saved cap space this year.

I'd love for him to be on the Bengals roster in 2016 but we all know that isn't gonna happen.

We can dream cant we?

Norman,

Jones,

Burfict,

A man can dream.


If that translated to serious production, I'd have no problem with the Bengals assembling the biggest group of assholes the NFL has ever known.

[jfkbengals]

I know the Steelers and Ravens are both needy at CB.

Somehow I see one of them falling into Norman at a good rate and then not having to use a high pick on a CB.

[Big Boss]

Just don't let him sign with anyone else in the AFCN. For the love of God.

Better chance of us signing him than either of those teams. Don't sweat it

[bonesaw]

Dude wants 16mil a year

I think he thinks he's a QB

[Okeana]

the value for production would be terrible for us. How many teams have brought in a top dollar CB only to waste money. Absolutely zero chance this happens. If it does I will chop off my own pinky toe.

wohahahahahaha dude has done lost his damn mind.  

[Goalpost]

The Panthers placed the tag on Norman last month, guaranteeing him $13.952 million in 2016. But Norman never signed the tag and was planning to skip at least the first part of offseason workouts that begin on Monday.

If it does, then lets do this right, go get a fast food job and put the toe in my food. Then I split the profit with you later 

[Okeana]

What a greedy ******** sob. 2 million more than revis ? dude had what? 1 good year

we could turn a good profit for a toe that I really don't need.

Even if the Bengals were interested, I don't know if I would even want them to sign him.

1. The guy refused to sign a $14m franchise tender. That tells you roughly where you can expect him to cost. (Reports he was seeking $16m/yr)
2. He will turn 29 years old before the calendar year ends.
3. He has only had one good (admittedly very very good) year while surrounded by defensive talent.
4. He loves to run his mouth and thinks very very highly of himself. That can't lead to great locker room chemistry when you're not on a team that's 15-1 and playing in the SB.

Pass.

If the Bengals wanted to sign an elite CB in FA, they had their chance just last offseason with Revis. No reason to pay more for less.

[leonardfan40]

I think he should have signed it and cashed in on an extension with them or hit the market next year. I'd also be very reluctant to pay up after just one stud season. That said, $16 mil isn't that crazy. Revis signed for that with the bucs years ago and the cap has gone/will continue to go crazy. Pretty soon you'll have several CB's making that
