129???

Wow even counting kinda-throwaways and any passes tipped at the line, about every 7th attempt against Norman's man went for a touchdown.

I'm trying to comprehend that being anything other than a video game statistic.

 

Wow! And he got $75M over 4 years?

Based on that Jamal Adams should be getting like $127M over 4 years for his 80.7 Passer Rating Against.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I'll just leave that right there. ?)

He’s a read/react zone coverage corner. 

Dunno how good he’d be in Greg’s system. Greg loves that press man stuff. Tons of aggression, bump and run, jamming at the line, ect

He’s way past his prime and would suck here

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman didn’t have a long reunion with his former head coach Ron Rivera. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garofalo, Norman has been released by the Redskins.

Norman, who made his debut in 2012, had several season of elite production when he was with the Carolina Panthers, and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2015. He signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Redskins before the 2016 season, but unfortunately those elite numbers didn’t follow him to Washington.

Over four seasons with the Redskins he intercepted seven passes and forced eight fumbles, well off the pace of even just his final season with the Panthers, during which he’d intercepted four passes and returned two for touchdowns. He also had a habit of getting lost in coverage and rode the bench in the late portion of the 2019 season.

The Redskins will save just under $12.5 million in cap space by releasing Norman now, and take a $3 million hit in dead money.

Norman was widely seen as a candidate to be cut due to his less than impressive performance and large salary, but there was a slim chance that the hiring of Rivera, Norman’s skipper in Carolina, might help him keep his job. No dice, unfortunately.

On the plus side, Norman now gets to join his former Panthers teammate Greg Olsen in early free agency. They now have over a month to find new teams before NFL free agency kicks off on March 18. Norman seems ready for whatever comes next.

 

Now that OBJ wants  to be a Jets, we have to sign this guy.

Josh Norman reunited with a familiar face.

The veteran cornerback agreed to terms with the Buffalo Bills on a one-year deal worth $6 million base value with incentives that could push the contract to $8 million, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported, via sources informed of the pact.

Norman reunites with Sean McDermott, who was the Carolina Panthers' defensive coordinator during the height of corner's career. Bills GM Brandon Beane was also in the Panthers' front office when Carolina drafted Norman in the fifth round in 2012.

The familiarity works well for both sides. The Bills know the type of person and player Norman can be when everything is right. Norman knows McDermott's system could eek whatever is left from the corner turning 33 during the 2020 season.

The Washington Redskins released Norman last month after four seasons. He was due $12.5 million and struggled mightily last year, eventually getting passed up on the depth chart.

Norman took advantage of his early jump on free agency to land a deal.

Garafolo added that Norman spoke to several teams following his release, and quietly took a visit to Buffalo. The veteran corner landed on a one-year deal with the Bills due to his familiarity with McDermott's system, the talent on the Bills playoff defense, especially stud corner Tre'davious White on the opposite side of the field.

Norman should look better in Buffalo as a No. 2 or 3 corner than he did as the anchor in Washington. If he can stay healthy and returns to form, the deal could prove to be a savvy one for the Bills -- especially if Norman plays well enough to hit those incentives.

As with most corners, time is a brutal father, taking his pound of flesh each year. Norman looked like a player close to the end last season, getting burned with regularity. If he doesn't bounce back, the gambit shouldn't hurt the cap-flush Bills much. If he finds the fountain of youth in Buffalo with McDermott, it could be a brilliant reunion that benefits both parties.
