Norman wasn't going to sign an offer sheet because no team was going to give up 2 first round picks and that kind of salary for him. His plan was to hold a big chunk of the cap hostage until the team caved. The next guy may come up with a different plan. 

The only comparison we have in the Gettlemen era is Hardy who signed his tendered contract the next business day, then waited for the longer term negotiations.  Norman was only staying under a long term deal that met his terms. He gave no indication that he would sign that 1 year deal for the 7 weeks that it was on the table, then got his feelings hurt when the panthers decided  to move on. Suddenly, the 1 year deal was acceptable to him but not thePanthers. 

He got paid Good for him.

Unless you were in the room with him, you're speculating quite a bit. Whereas I and many others who have posted here are using historical precedence and a chronological chain of events. 

One fact you haven't addressed is why, if Norman was so intent on leaving, did he attempt to sign the tender after it was rescinded and the paperwork had already been filed with the league office. And, if he wanted to leave so bad, was he pissed off enough to fire his agent for screwing up the deal.

All of this took place before he signed with Washington.

You and many others are using "historical precedence and a chronological chain of events"? From what? the last time Norman was tagged? or Hardy, the only other time the tag has been used by Gettleman?  And as for being in the room,  how is it I'm speculating yet you are not? You were in the room? I never said anything about Norman being intent on leaving. I've only countered your points claiming he was intent on staying. He had the ability to stay. He's not here by his choice at least as much as Gettleman's.

      I'd love to have Eli as our QB. He was a proven baller in the playoffs, and still a legit franchise QB who was better than the majority of the league in the regular season. Honestly the Giants didn't build many great teams around him. Put him in a beneficial situation like Belichick, Reid, Tomlin, etc. run and he could've won more than 2 SBs if you ask me. He was on a lot of bad teams, like really bad teams, throughout his career.   Hell, swap him in for Rivers in the mid-late aughts and I bet he gets the Chargers a SB. Still think that whole draft situation was bullshit and lost respect for Eli there, but whatever.

      Yeah but if you are talking about something like an extremely rarely used or needed play like a QB sneak, it's already a pretty off the rails argument. That doesn't factor in enough to W's and L's to be something that is particularly relevant.  If you want to talk overall arm strength, field vision, footwork, consistency, athleticism, etc on Bryce, those are all valid critiques of his game and why he hasn't been successful. But the oddball obsessions about pretty meaningless aspects are a bit bizarre. QB sneaks? Not enough 40+ yard passes? Workout regimen?? Guys....there is ample stuff to criticize without this kind of nonsense.

      Im not saying he should, but its one more play that's off the table. Do you think the eagles would be as good without the QB sneak?
