  • Big Blitz changed the title to Bills signing Josh Norman - yes, seriously
Posted (edited)

Um, well, uh, at least he was still getting gigs through last season. I thought maybe he was out of the league for a year or two.

 

On one hand, absolutely crazy. On the other, McDermott puts an incredible amount of emphasis on guys who know his system. And midseason, he's going to value that over someone learning on the fly. So I guess I shouldn't be as shocked as I am.

 

Especially since there's absolutely no one out there right now and teams trading away good CB's midseason are exceedingly rare.

 

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I think this move is less about Norman on the field and more about a lack of a real veteran presence in the CB room.

 

Norman knows McDermott's D inside and out. I think Norman will be more of a coach to the young guys like Benford and Elam than anything else.

It has been a minute, but it feels like Josh Norman was toast in 2020. There is absolutely no way that he is the best option. Zero.

Just to put a positive spin on it - I loved him when he was here.  A vocal leader on the field.  And this is just DEPTH.

 

And you can never go wrong w/ an ex-Panther coming to the Bills.

this is almost worse for what it says about Elam. We will take a guy that was washed up a full 3 years ago and sitting at home for years, over Elam?
