This is not the first big money corner he has signed as a GM so it is not unusual for him to do this. He loves big physical corners with attitude.

It took a monster deal to lure cornerback Nate Clements to Monster Park, but on the opening day of the NFL free-agent period, the San Francisco 49ers delivered, agreeing with the most coveted player in the market on a landmark contract.



McC's done this before folks

He wasn't terrible, but the point is McC is not afraid to make a big move.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

just because you have a good gm doesn't mean you can't make big deals. it's just that you have to hit 90% on big money deals to not hurt your team.

like someone else said, this is djax, a great player let go after the market rush, allowing you to save some money while getting a guy that normally wouldn't be available.

Josh Norman will be a bargain. Why? Because he'll be covering Beckham and Dez at least 4 times per season, so we get to see Josh play 16 or more games per season PLUS we get to see 4 or 5 PROFESSIONAL FIGHTS between Josh and either Beckham or Dez within the games. Where else could we find such a deal?!

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

I believe it was tandler this morning who said look for a 5 year deal, but really more of a 3 year deal when the ink is dried.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

Janoris Jenkins, Byron Maxwell, they are good corners but they are not game changers.

Norman was FIRST TEAM ALL PRO.

Not so sure I'm ready to call him a "game changer" if he's really only had one outstanding year.

Re: Redskins Free Agency 2016

If we get him, just hope Norman performs better than Clements did. I kind of remember him being the top corner at one point and he went there and just did OK.

I LIKE that he does fit what we do, but I worry about the dynamic in the locker room when you're giving someone a giant contract. I guess we've earned enough goodwill extending our own that people wouldn't think "same ol' Skins" again.
