Looks like he will sign with Washington tomorrow... 

Josh Norman - DB -  Free Agent

The Washington Post reports the Redskins have made an offer to free agent CB Josh Norman.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Norman is fielding five-year deals worth between $14-$15 million annually. With an estimated $11.6 million in cap space, the Redskins would have to get slightly creative with the structure of the deal or do some mild cap gymnastics to fit that size contract under the salary limit, but the cap is not a real concern. Norman is meeting with the Redskins on Friday. The 49ers are thought to be the other team seriously involved in negotiations.

Admittedly the Redskins aren't the ideal landing spot (AFC), but here are the reasons I'm ok with this:

1-Washington doesn't scare me, and they are about to eat up $15 million of their cap space. Same old Washington, as soon as the wheels get on track they do something stupid financially. 

2-We get to see Josh and Odell twice a year now, and have no stake in it. 

3-Josh gets paid. Look I wanted him back just as much as anyone else, but good for him. He went from being the proverbial doghouse to one of the top paid players in the league. He has also always been very gracious with his time towards the Huddle. Good on you Josh!

4-fug the 49ers

Enjoy the contract JNo happy for you and achieving what you want...$$$. Can't knock a guy for securing his personal finanace.  Just hope you weren't hoping for playoffs or a ring.  Can't wait until that Monday Night primetime where you will be lining up against KB and he bodies your a$$ all game and goes Randy Moss on your a$$ in the endzone.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
