Skins looking to trade Norman. Or flat out release him.

It's ridiculous. I like DG. I think he did a lot more good than bad, but no one is perfect and that he completely fuged the pooch on that Norman situation. Take the absolute worst case scenario on how you could've played your cards on that one both from a roster building perspective and a lockerroom perspective and that's it. The way he handled that situation was the absolute worst case scenario. I honestly don't think our lockerroom ever recovered from that kick in the nuts and that in and of itself played a big role in us falling flat on our faces that season.

I’m waiting for someone to rationalized how we came on top in this situation....like you said it was the worst possible outcome l. I wanted to like dg, especially after 2015 but his career can be explain by moments of pure genius followed by moments of stupidity/arrogance.

Per my 2 TE source, Skins shall cut him and the prodigical son shall return to his homeland.

Hey man, don't rain on my offseason. Can't a guy just pretend for a little that we won't go into next year with Coleman back there?

Edit: who would you consider to be better an upgrade at safety but reasonably priced?

Coleman > Adams

1. Gman fuged up having a ego trip..

2. Norman was a beast here and his attitude alone made the secondary better.. 

3. Please bring him back..

Naw no way could the Panthers pay Norman the huge pay day he was looking for

Fair enough. I want them both gone. I figure some of the SS candidates in the draft look a little less risky, so target Adams replacement there and find a FS via free agency.

 

Also, from your other post, prodigal; unless you were trying to do a play on words w prodigious.

fuging called it, like many others on this forum. he got overpaid for having his best season as part of a great defense in his contract year. i dont begrudge him getting his money but letting him leave was the right move long-term. wouldn't mind bringing him back for 8-10 mill/year as he is still a top 10 CB in the right system.

I called this poo the day after they signed him. Although I thought it would be to have room to keep cousins.

How did that help us again??

Because our Secondary has been trash since he's been gone..

He’s better than Daryl Worley

I think most of us expected him to underperform in Washington, but that doesn't mean we didn't botch that situation. We should've had Norman play out 2016 under the tag. Norman and rookie Bradberry would've been a damn fine pair of CBs.

No way I’d take on that contract but if he is released we dang well better be in the mix for him. 

Bradberry is completely overrated here and Worley isn’t good enough yet for us to get over the hump. Bringing Norman back gives us a proven answer for Julio, Evans, and Thomas.

it would have been better paying JNo 16 mill/year for his performance the past couple years? especially since we wouldnt have been able to extend other key pieces on offense and defense? our secondary has been below average because of scheme, lack of consistent pressure from the DL since CJ has declined at DE, and starting 2 young CBs in the secondary.

hopefully Bradberry and Worley after being thrown directly into the fire will continue to develop into solid CBs and we can keep our financial flexibility to surround Cam with weapons and shore up other positions-- but with Hurney back thats unlikely

Gettleman was right.  Period.

Sign him for the vet min or let someone else over pay him.

Only right because it was his downfall...

honestly dont think we know 100% of the Norman situation. it may have been DG swinging his dick around, maybe Norman's agent went rogue and DG called his bluff, maybe Norman made it apparent he would be a detriment to team chemistry after a painful SB loss and a crucial follow-up period in our championship window... but i agree, i actually suggested that we tag him in back-to-back years and then let him walk
