b/r names Norwell as one of the NFL's "hidden stars"

Nice to see Norwell getting some appreciation:

Forgotten Offensive Lineman

[...]

It's almost impossible to get noticed when the center you're playing next to, Ryan Kalil, has been named to the Pro Bowl five times, fellow guard Trai Turner is one of the league's best young linemen and the team's left tackle, Michael Oher, had a movie made about his life.

Norwell quietly does his job at an effective rate. The undrafted free agent wasn't called for a single penalty in 834 snaps last season. During his first two seasons, officials tagged the Ohio State product for one infraction. That level of consistency shouldn't be undervalued.

The best possible compliment for an offensive lineman is never hearing his name called. Norwell's name rarely, if ever, comes up during games.

I have a feeling we won't be able to keep him and Turner

Not with that attitude we won't.

I think we can. It's one of the reasons why we said bye bye to Norman. Save that cash for the young studs.

Why? Guard is one of the lowest paid spots. We'll be able to keep both.

I think it's reasonable to expect this.  He will get paid but it won't break the bank. The cash I worry about is on the other side of the ball.

They both will get paid pretty good but it wont be 100 million contracts a piece. Gettleman will get it done.

Why does every fugging topic about any player, regardless of how far away they are from their next contract come down to "well we won't be able to keep them so derrrr". We've given a lot more contracts out over the last few seasons than we've let people go. Just because they're not Twitter breaking contracts doesn't mean we're not retaining our talent.

bored of this sh*t

Between Norwell and Turner were set at Guard for a while

LT, (Williams), RT (Williams?) and Center have some long term questions 

One would think Daryl Williams would end up being good at either LT or RT in the future 

LT doesn't. We just extended Oher. Coaching staff is surely hoping D Williams steps up at RT. Center replacement will likely be drafted in the next year or two. I bet Kalil has another 2 years in him.

In the modern NFL, you don't keep even most of your stars (if he's one of the best at his position, he's a star).. modern NFL, you pillage the bottomof the pile year aftee year to afford yourself constantly fresh (young/cheap) guys to replace your stars. We can find more corners, we can find more guards, if need be.

There are only a few key positions where a star will get paid within DG's scheme.

Oher is 30 years old, there is no need for a LT in the immediate future, but it certainly is a future question mark

4 years from now. There's not much point in projecting 4 years from now, frankly.
