Slippery Rubber Mats Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Was it a money issue? I'm always interested in what other teams won't pay for a given player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's definitely worth taking a look-see, the real question is could we afford him? I'm wondering what kind of money he's gonna be asking for... You know what though? It's a refreshing thought to know that maybe, just maybe he'd take less money to come to a team that has a good chance at winning it all. Its so nice to be on the other side of that equation for a change, instead of having to break the bank to sign top level talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I wouldn't hate kicking the tires. I think Norman is done, McBean is going to try and save as much money on the 2021 cap as possible and cutting Norman now rolls over a million or if you sign Prince to a low deal.

Norman was very strong before his injury and he will be practicing next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard mixed reports on Norman, if he was looking good and can get back soon maybe you are right. Still I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on a player for the vet minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie is not stressed at all with P5t5rman hanging onto the ball. No preseason games and defense needs tackling practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach55 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Is it just me, or has everyone written off Levi Wallace? After a solid rookie year, he did have some set-backs in a sophomore slump, but he is still a starting caliber player, entering his 3rd season (which is usually a watershed year for most players) and is probably better than most #2 CBs in the league. Yet we are continuing to look. Josh Norman clearly is an all-pro talent, but is Amukamara an upgrade? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 No thanks, over 30 and has only played one full season in nine years. I don't think he is a step up from Levi Wallace, so if the Norman experiment doesnt work out just go with Wallace and call it a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 If he was cut by Raiders I have to question talent but if it was scheme issue in the NFL you always could use another good DB, not enough to go around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Norman goes and Levi gets hurt, do you prefer Amukamara or Cam Lewis/Dane Jackson/Siran Neal manning the outside?

Mr. WEO Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He didn't even make the Raiders roster....they brought in, and cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPoy88 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He’s had a wild ride. And just being in the position to watch a lot of giants’ games, he doesn’t seem that good, despite his draft position. But for vet depth at corner? Eh, i’d try him out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Might be some tires kicked. His best ability might be available. Hasn’t missed too many games the past 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think he can still play and would be worth a look. A former 1st rnd pick with excellent size and speed. Would be good depth and insurance, especially at close to vet minimum. He had a good year two seasons ago, 6.5 yds per target, 57% comp, 75 passer rating. Last season was not as good, not horrible but not nearly as good. I hope they snag him, the cb depth is concerning imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he can play the slot. So his playing time will drop quite a bit if he is not the starter. Maybe Norman will have a resurrection with McD but I think it's more likely he is a surprise cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, if he can still play....I think he could start a game or two if we are dealing with multiple injuries and in need late in the season. Obviously, I hope we are not in that situation.
