How crazy a year makes.

last offseason some were talking about how josh would never get it. Too much of a hothead that would lose us games. all the physical talent but not a smart player.

flash forward a year and were talking about him being one of the highest paid players at his position.

Doesn't mean he will play under it though

Tagged players sitting out is rare.  Norman hasn't made big bucks in the NFL yet.  He'll multiply his career earnings several times over under the tag.  He's 29 and his big money days are coming to an end.  If we can't work out a deal, he'll play under the tag and then probably cash in on a big payday from a desperate bottom dweller looking to make a splash next year.

I think he meant a deal can still be worked out.

but yeah that's too much money to just sit out, especially for Josh. Life changing money.

those people are dumb because Norman was one of the best corners the second half the 2014 season

This. Too much money for him to sit out but not quite the guaranteed long term deal he is looking for. Value at an all time high right now. Can't say for certain it will still that high after next season. If I'm him a try my hardest to come to terms on a long term deal instead of having to bet on myself AGAIN.

I'm sure he will skip OTAs, but I agree that he will be at training camp for sure.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
