RIPPA Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Interesting tidbit from the Wash Post in regards to how the Skins got Norman Basically Norman's agent (well now former agent) was fucking around in negotiations so when the Panthers announced they were rescinding the tag Norman was all WTF? He fired his agent and then called the Panthers and said he was sign the franchise tag right now but the Panthers had already filed the paperwork and couldn't tag it back. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/how-one-of-the-nfls-best-cornerbacks-suddenly-ended-up-with-the-redskins/2016/04/24/03f1aa62-0a57-11e6-bfa1-4efa856caf2a_story.html Quote The news blindsided Norman. He was not informed about how far apart George and the Panthers stood on a long-term deal and at least figured he would be on the team in 2016. As a last-ditch effort, Norman called the Panthers to find a resolution. He said that he would fire his agent and sign the $13.9 million franchise tender, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, but the paperwork to rescind the franchise tender had already been filed to the league.

Gonzo Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Per Adam Schefter, Sam Bradford has informed the Eagles that he wants to be traded and will "no longer be showing up" for their offseason program. Good luck with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leads to another question which I don't know the answer to. Do teams always only talk to the agents and never to the players directly? I know that is what agents are for, to do the dirty work, but I am surprised the Panthers didn't call Norman and be like "so hey, we are going to take off the tag, we can't get a deal with your agent" before doing so since he was such a big part of the team. Unless that is just never done in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Usually the player is doing player stuff with family about now and leaves everything in the hands of the agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 That and think of it the other way around. Teams who don't like how negotiations are going could just run to the player, lay on some line of BS about how the agent isn't doing what's best for them, and con the player into signing a bad deal. No agent in the world would be okay with it if that sort of thing was allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I didn't mean the team would get a player to sign something behind the agent's back, just a heads up to one of their star players that they were going to pull the tag. If that had happened in this case he would still be a Panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Look at it from the prescriptive of the last NBA off season and DeAndre Jordan the Mavs and the Clippers. There was a ton of out cry by then Jordans agent that the Clippers weren't talking to him but to DeAndre directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Adam Schefter is reporting that the favorite to host the 2017 NFL Draft is. . . Philadelphia. I'd compare the potential Eagles fans reaction with those of Giants/Jets fans in New York, but Philly doesn't have a #1 next year, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be the same.
