Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Or would he cost way too much? I think he would be a great asset but will want way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 They don't have the space, otherwise they would of kept Sean Smith. Norman isn't really a press corner anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah, the guy wants 15 to 16 a year from what I read. That is way too much. Rather would have kept Smith and he was much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Cornerbacks are never worth that sort of money. Darrell Revis wasn't. Deion Sanders, if he played today, might not be worth that much. The ability to take away an opponent's best wide receiver is significant, but it's not worth 10% of the salary cap.

KC Warpaint 3,235 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 they listed 7 teams and the chiefs were nowhere on that list...i assumed that the raiders and broncos would be listed but no AFC West team was anywhere to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to take away an opponent's best wide receiver is significant, but it's not worth 10% of the salary cap. Deion Sanders would not be worth anywhere near that money if he played today. The man is old now. Just kidding, I know what you meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMO 6,811 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 More of a zone guy. Doesn't really fit what our corners do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Warpaint 3,235 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 why is a team allowed to cancel the franchise tag on a player, but a player cannot have the option to do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCSLC2008 606 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 why is a team allowed to cancel the franchise tag on a player, but a player cannot have the option to do the same The player can cancel by signing a longer contract with said team or retiring forever. This is a question for having franchise tags at all. If either side could leave, it becomes just a one year deal that either could leave. The player can refuse to sign in the first place, but can't leave. If either could cancel, then it practically speaking wouldn't exist. But yeah, I don't understand why it isn't "neither team not player" (unless a longer deal is signed, extended). It's just a team benefit that applies to the team from cradle to grave, for one year at a time at competitive and successively increasing rates.

DieHard 2,061 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Not sure the timing, but does that screw the player out of free agency? Don't they get dumped after all the big money has been spent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 No to norman. He'll be way overpaid by someone but not us. Top 15 corner wants top 3 money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 The way I understand it he never signed the tag so therefore they could pull it. Personally I don't think any player is worth millions of dollars but then again my priorities are different than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhataLerror 370 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The way I understand it he never signed the tag so therefore they could pull it. In a lot of cases, players refuse to sign the tag because they lose leverage in contract talks: Why sign the tag and be obligated to off-season programs and their associated risk of injury that could result in losing far more money than the tag guarantees? Of course, getting tagged with the threat of release can put players like Norman in a bad spot. Norman obviously didn't want to remain in Carolina for what they were going to pay, but he went from a team that played in the Super Bowl to a team that's almost 25-years separated from a Super Bowl victory, has taken their division only twice in the last 15 years, and hasn't won in the post-season during the past 10 years. I suspect that Norman's newest contract contains void years or some other mechanism that would allow him to 'graduate' to a better contract or a better team.

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thank God he didn't go to NE or Denver. There would have a few in here who would have pointed out how these teams always take chances to improve where the Chiefs always play it safe.
