Re: NFL Free Agency 2016

The count is up to 10 teams that have contacted cornerback Josh Norman's representation, according to a league source. Several wanted the 2015 Pro Bowl selection to visit today, but so far no visits are scheduled. Among the teams interested in Norman, who became an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday when the Panthers rescinded the franchise tag, are San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.

If Pittsburgh gets him, watch the fuck out. That defense elevates and I put them as Super Bowl favorites.

pretty sure we haven't cut roberts because he's still injured and that's a thing. at least last i heard.


as far as norman, he is a great player, and even if we have to cut a player like culliver to make room, it's an upgrade. if you're a team, you would want to know why he was cut though. i mean, if the panthers found out he's about to get a 16 game suspension for peds, well... that's important information. i assume anything like that would have already leaked from the nfl offices by now.

There's no character problem or anything, it's just Jerry Richardson is an idiot. Chip Kelly couldn't handle DeSean Jackson's personality, and Jerry Richardson doesn't like it when he doesn't have the leverage. We should capitalize.

I just don't think McC is gonna go crazy with the number Norman wants. Culliver would be cut imo, Kory L too. Roberts when healthy.

What do you think gets it done? IMO, Norman looking around 70-80 million with at least 60% of that guaranteed.

I think McCloughan will want to speak with him. He'll want to sell him - Josh if you're looking for a destination that will pay you the absolute most, then you've got the wrong place. We'll pay you fairly, we'll pay you like one of the best corners, but I have to know why you want to be a Washington Redskin. I have to know if you're like Junior Galette, that you're a football junkie, that you're all heart and passion, that you want to be in a place where culture matters.

That's where McCloughan separates himself as a GM. The emotional connection he makes. He not only identifies heart in potential draft picks, but he relates to it in conversations too.

If Norman ends up in San Fran or Tampa for the highest $, then you'll know he wasn't a McCloughan fit. If he ends up with us for market value, $14-15M per season or so, then watch out, because it says McCloughan saw the heart he needed to see.

Re: NFL Free Agency 2016

Like half the NFL is interested in him, I'd want him but not for 15 million per year.

I hear this a lot, but I'm not sure there's any real thought behind it. If Josh Norman isn't worth $15M per year, who in your mind is?

Re: NFL Free Agency 2016

panthers on releasing norman:
Rivera on rescinding Josh Norman's tag: I'll trust GM - NFL.com

they didn't want to pay him what he was asking for and they decided to move on. no hard feelings.

Re: NFL Free Agency 2016

The Redskins should have enough money to sign Norman. Cutting Roberts and Culliver could save over $10 million. It is hard to determine Culliver's contract due to the escape clause.

I doubt they can sign Norman for less than $75 million for 5 years... to much for me
