But this year, more than in Gettleman’s jersey (von xiaofeng01)

The Carolina Panthers Steve Nash Authentic Jersey are in their full evaluation mode of college players for the April 28-30 NFL draft.General manager Dave Gettleman has put the team in a decent position in relation to their needs by re-signing defensive end Charles Johnson and adding backup center/guard Gino Gradkowski, nickel corner Brandon Boykin and defensive tackle Paul Soliai. That should allow them to feel comfortable taking the best player available with the 30th pick.Of course, that’s what Gettleman says he’s done every year.But this year, more than in Gettleman’s first three drafts, he has the luxury of truly going for the best player rather than drafting for need, as there aren’t big any needs that jump out for the NFC champions.The biggest hint Gettleman has given as to which direction he might lean with the first pick came when he said the defensive tackle position is deep. He said the same thing in 2013, when he took tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short in the first two rounds.http://www.authenticclippersshop.com/authentic-3-chris-paul-jersey.html One of Gettleman’s favorite sayings is “big men allow you to compete."Each NFL team is allowed 30 visits by draft prospects. Gettleman typically doesn’t use the full amount.To get a glimpse into what Gettleman is considering with his six picks, here’s a look at players who reportedly have or will visit the Panthers leading into the draft, with their projected round:Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State: Receives good marks in coverage and instincts. Has been compared to fellow Buckeyes product Kurt Coleman, who led Carolina in interceptions with seven this past season. Projection: Rounds 2-3.The Carolina Panthers believe Josh Norman is worth $13,952,000 in 2016, otherwise they wouldn’t have placed the franchise tag on the Pro Bowl cornerback.But what is Norman worth long-term to the Panthers?http://www.officialblazersshop.com/authentic-0-damian-lillard-jersey.html Many offered opinions via social media after a report surfaced recently that Norman, 28, was seeking $16 million a year in a long-term deal.That’s understandable considering the salary-cap hell the Panthers were in ($16 million over the cap) before Dave Gettleman took over as general manager in December of 2013.First, $16 million isn’t a hard number. It’s what Norman possibly could have earned on the open market had the tag not been applied.In reality, Norman likely would take somewhere between $14 million and $16 million a year to stay with the Panthers. He’s played his entire football career in the Carolinas between Greenwood (S.C.) High, Coastal Carolina (Conway, S.C.) and now the Panthers. His preference is to remain at Carolina.But Norman also knows this likely is his only shot at a big contract. He topped out at $1,591,750 last season as a Pro Bowl selection, and that was only because of a 59 percent pay raise based on playing time in his first three seasons.So do the Panthers invest $14 million or more a year long-term on a player that will be 32 at the end of a four-year deal?http://www.officialpelicansshop.com/authentic-32-jimmer-fredette-jersey.html Darrelle Revis is the NFL's highest-paid cornerback with an average salary of $14,024,212 with the New York Jets. He is 30 with four more years left on his deal. So age obviously wasn’t a factor there.
