I didn't think the Panthers were gonna keep him long-term either. They gotta pay Starlow and Short and those guys are the core of that D. Norman had a great year but he is 28 and elite CBs tend to begin to fade just a few years later. Committing to him long-term over their interior line guys would've been a mistake and usually it is tough to pay everyone the big $. Pats made the same decision with Chandler Jones, but atleast they did get a draft pick for him.

I think the Giants should pick him up so he can battle with OBJ day after day in practice ... That would make for an entertaining training camp ...

Considering Cam was about to rip his head off at training camp for a pinch for no reason, I can't imagine what would happen with OBJ. Would be a lot of fun to find out, though...

The Panthers should've kept the tag offer there. He would've taken it. He hasn't made much $ in his career.

Then get him for a year and then let him go. Or put him on the block for trade and let the new team work a deal with him.

Really bad tactical move by them. Sad!


I would fire the GM instantly . There is no excuse for the way this was handled. It's one thing to make a bad draft pick they all do that from time to time. It's another thing entirely to just completely let a valuable asset go away for absolutely nothing.

This is one of the most ridiculous moves I have ever seen a professional sports organization ever make.

Norman in discussions right now with SF and Washington for a potential 5 year $14-$15M dollar deal. More to come.

But you have not watched an NFL game in years. Cam Newton is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer in the black qb Hall of Fame which eventually will happen since they think it is OK to put a stupid ugly Aunt Jemeima on my $$. Keep in mind, to be enshrined as a black qb, you just need to stay in the league 5 seasons. Most struggle with that.

Redskins sign Norman to five-year deal


Gets $51m over the first three years of a five-year deal that is worth $75m total.


Now the highest paid CB in the NFL.
