Josh Norman CB is a Redskin

[Irrefutable]

New report on guaranteed money.... they say $31 million not $50 million

Fallout From Josh Norman/Washington Deal

[punch it in]

Great pick up. Wow. Got the best gm in the league, a great young qb, a nice oline, a full compliment of draft picks coming up, now Norman. Galette hopefully a dangerous edge rusher, and we are defending nfc east champs. We might make some effin noise this year fellas. Buckle up.

Well said my friend. Buckling up!

i still can't believe they let him walk, honestly.

Love this, love this, love this.

Worried about the cap space, but honestly the past 10 years have proven we can usually make anything work. We need $$ to go around to Cousins, Reed, and Baker next year, but we'll have something like $29 mil from Garcon/DJax gone & and the salary cap increase..

IF we get some Dline from draft - the only holes on paper seem to be finding real safeties, and getting better MLBs..

I don't even think we need to mention Cousins when we are worried about next years cap implications, we are under the cap right now and he is at 20mm it won't be much more next year and probably be less due to a long term deal.

The concern are the others that are dirt cheap on rookie contracts right now.

Need to know more about the financials(what the actual guaranteed money is), I think he is a positive team guy and locker room guy also. I still think we overpaid a bit, but looking at some of the other CB contracts, its not terrible, IE Janoris Jenkins & Byron Maxell. He is much better player then both, and his pay is only about 12% higher. Obviously SM must feel like he is a big difference maker that doesn't hit the market often.

It sure will be fun seeing Norman go at it with Dez and OBJ the next few years. With him and Breeland we've got some serious attitude at corner now.

50 million? Sorry but I would have passed. Way too much money for someone with one great year. As I said, almost all of the time when teams go out and overpay on a guy in free agency they RARELY get that return back on to the field.

The positive is he fills an immediate need. That's great. But I would not have done this deal. No way.

It really depends on how that 50m is structured. And I can't remember where a recent contract was just a bad deal for the team (or player really) I think the skins really write fair contracts overall

dasean jackson?

[CrazyCanuck]

As we all know by now the money is pretty irrelevant, this is all about character.

If McLovin is on board with this move then so am I. Exciting!!

Well looking back on Jackson's overall production since he's been here, I'd say we're not quite getting the return on that investment. I'd like for Jackson to play a full season and see him get the numbers he had under Chip Kelly.

The team last season was very different (in a good way) when Jackson was on the field. No one can predict injuries, yet with injuries he made a difference.

Free agents, like draft picks, are a gamble. Yet there are plenty of examples of FAs who have worked out: Garcon, DJax, Lynch, Palmer, Brees, Fitz, Revis, Talib, Steve Smith Sr., etc., etc.

I do think that you can't JUST build through the draft. You do have to add free agents. My issue is giving Norman the huge contract. Time will tell if he lives up to it. My guess is he won't.
