1997WS6 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 He's not what he used to be. He got benched on a bad Washington team. He'd have to be cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie2times Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Norman got paid and treated like a lock down but he was better as a zone guy. That's what can be nice at times about our scheme. We can get value out of players other teams just can't and we seem to be good at identifying those players. I don't really care much about Norman but if the front office thinks he's the right fit it would be an exciting signing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he can move along to another team that is dumb enough to give him a big contract. I'd pass on Norman since we have some good, young talent and it really isn't a position of need.

YoloinOhio Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 This doesn’t surprise me at all if he met with him. I will more surprised if he signs him, but even still, we do need 90 for camp.

zow2 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 He’s terrible. Washington and Ron Rivera could not release him fast enough. His play on the field and his negative presence in the locker room were equally poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKellyTryouts Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) He wouldn't have very much, if any, expectations if he signs and for the first time since early on in his career, he won't be designated as the #1 corner. Now that Norman got his FA payday out of the way and has his familiarity with this staff and scheme, I'm all for it if the price is right. Who are any of us to voice displeasure with what coach has accomplished in the secondary ever since he got here?

Punching Bag Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Maybe Josh Norman was just in town for some career advice. It is weird how NFLPA has rules about contact between players and coaching staff in off season but free agents can talk as much as they want. For teams with new coaches it sort of gives those players advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Norman is a Zone CB who was way overpaid, for the right price he would be a perfect fit for us. We will be in the same situation as the Redskins in a few years when we overpay our Zone CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play on the field and his negative presence in the locker room were equally poor. The scheme didn't fit him though. He was never a good man CB. He doesn't have good speed. He does have elite instincts. For his contract in Wash , it was a no brainier to release him. But if McD believes he can contribute , I trust him , especially being a CB. I personally would love to grab a rookie CB in round 1 if they're high on . Pair him with Tre for the next 4+ years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Based on what I remember, Josh Norman is an excellent CB in zone coverage and only so-so in man coverage. While that can turn some people off (remember Gilmore's comments about how he was better than Josh Norman since he played man coverage?), the fact is Norman's best years were playing zone coverage under McD. I can see Norman coming cheaper than Kevin Johnson and being as good or better replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Nobody has yet to answer this in multiple Norman threads. He excelled in zone in Carolina. Did he play zone or man in Washington?

Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) A lot of CB'S are scheme specific. Trey White IMO wouldn't be good in every scheme for example, a lot like Richard Sherman. Norman fits our scheme perfect. Redskins are rebuilding, Bills trying to win a championship over the next 2-3 years. McDermott likes veterans. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

CSBill Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 On a very cheap, one year prove it deal ... sure, why not? I'm going to assume Beane and McD know him well enough to know what they're getting from a chemistry side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
