[The Franchise]

[Buehler445]

Boobs?

[Buehler445]

:sulk:

I was hoping for boobs

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Huge win for the Chiefs in a way. Left the team that will be our toughest game this year, and stayed away from the division.

[Red Dawg]

Idiots. He is not worth 50 Guranteed after playing in a zone defense. Redskins never learn after all their **** ups in FA.

Yeah.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

meh the Panthers will be an 8-8 team this year

No.

10-6? Maybe, but no lower than that. I suspect 11-12 wins for Carolina.

[jonzie04]

50m gtd. Jesus Christ. I believe thats the 3rd most in the NFL behind Rodgers, and Suh.

[Buehler445]

No.

They 10-6? Maybe, but no lower than that. I suspect 11-12 wins for Carolina.

They still play in the nfc south.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

There's a pretty big misconception about Norman and playing zone defense in general.

Nearly all of zone defenses turn into man coverage after just a few seconds of the play. Zone defense actually is more difficult for a lot of guys to play in some ways because it forces a CB to think a lot more, and diagnose.

I'm not saying I wouldn't rather have a guy who can follow the #1 everywhere and man up (if they are exceptional at it), but to be an elite corner, even when playing mostly zone, is still very impressive. Norman has to read route concepts every play, determine who he is going to take, if he is going to bait a QB, if he is going to play a bail technique, etc.

Zone defense is a thinking man's game at the corner position, where Norman flourishes. He also has enough athleticism to be elite at it.

Jesus, are you his agent?

Agreed

He'll go there and flame out anyway, just like all of Snyders other big money free agents

[Eleazar]

Paying a corner like a QB, makes (Redskins) sense

[TLO]

He'll go to the Redskins.

*takes bow*

[TimBone]

Idiots. He is not worth 50 mil per year after playing in a zone defense. Redskins never learn after all their fuck ups in FA.
Yeah...he's certainly not worth $50 mil per year.

[Toby Waller]

No.

They 10-6? Maybe, but no lower than that. I suspect 11-12 wins for Carolina.

ok, 10-6 and they still wont make the playoffs or lose in the first round.
there wont be a wildcard from that division

[the Talking Can]

holy rigatoni

[chiefs1111]

Wow

[BossChief]

I wonder how much Carolina was offering.

[DaneMcCloud]

Idiots. He is not worth 50 mil per year after playing in a zone defense. Redskins never learn after all their fuck ups in FA.

$50 million per year?

What the fuck???

[Red Dawg]

Yeah I fugged up. 50 mil guranteed. All of you know what the hell I meant.

[dj56dt58]

I think Washington bases their offseason solely on madden ratings

[Easy 6]

LMAO

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Well so does Chiefs Planet so....

[Chief Roundup]

Will be curious to see the actual break down of the contract to see how stupid it is or if the Redskins left themselves a way out and or back loaded the contract heavily.

[Dave Lane]

:sulk:

One always hopes for boobs :D

It's tuckdaddy just roll with it...

[Rain Man]

Any time I read "Redskins sign ...", I automatically assume that the player was overpaid and will underperform. I've developed this pattern through simple repetition.

Guess we'll find out. Norman is the best CB in football. I kind of doubt he'll be Haynseworth 2. I'm definitely glad he didn't sign with the Raiders.

Norman is not the best corner in football, or even close really. He's somewhere between 5-10.

[RunKC]

Antonio Brown, Dez and OBJ in a row right off the bat. We'll find out how good he is real fast.

[wazu]

Gotta hand it to you - not content to only be kind of wrong, you are willing to dive into full-on really wrong. Admirable.

[Bwana]

Fail

[BryanBusby]

You must be retarded.

I'd venture that at least 3 corners in this division, including the one we just let walk, outperformed Norman last season and all of them are under much better contracts than Norman.

OBJ is going to torch him if he can keep from going full retard.

That's before mentioning he was fucking atupid enough to get in a fight with the franchise QB last summer and could of ruined their Super Bowl appearance.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

In summary Redskins are paying: Cousins $20 mil and Norman $15 mil = 35 mil

We are paying Alex Smith (17.8), Dontari Poe (6.1), Jamaal Charles (5.3), Ron Parker (3.6), Peters (2.2): = 35 mil

ROFL

they are paying 27 million of their cap this season to Norman, Deangelo Hall and Chris Culliver alone. 3 corners almost 30 million lol

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Cousins is gonna go full Files this year

[Red Dawg]

It's tuckdaddy just roll with it...

It was accident!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Building around cousins and a malcontent system corner ROFL What a disaster of a franchise.

How does a guy who just had a season where he completed nearly 70% of his passes for 4,166 yards at 7.67 YPA and 29 TDs get labeled as a disaster?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

27-7!!!!/ jd

How can you even ignore your own ignorance at this point?

And Norman is not a system corner. I think this is a good signing. I don't generally ever expect much from the Redskins because they're owned by Caligula, but can't fault them for scooping up the best CB in football.

[notorious]

Redskins are back to their usual business.


Good grief.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Gotta hand it to you - not content to only be kind of wrong, you are willing to dive into full-on really wrong. Admirable.

Corners I would absolutely take over Norman right now:

Peters
Harris Jr
Talib
Revis
Peterson
Mathieu
Sherman

Guys I can make a strong argument for taking over Norman:

Verrett
Slay
Trufant
Butler

I said it earlier... I like Norman's game.. being a great 'zone' corner is very difficult in it's own ways. But for me, he's not top 5.

[SAUTO]

I'm shocked a player had their best season in a contract year. How does that typically work out?

[DaneMcCloud]

As I suspected, it's really only a 2 year, $36 million dollar deal.

Washington can dump him before March 2018.

It's still a lot of dough but Washington has the money to burn apparently.

They should be the best team in the NFC East, again, in 2016.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The NFC East will have its typical 9-10 win team winner.

If Romo stays on the field, it's a battle between Washington and Dallas to get to 9 or 10 wins.

[staylor26]

I wouldn't write off the Giants either.

With the moves they made on d, if they draft Elliot they can definitely win the division.

[Toby Waller]

Of course you don't write of the Giants.
the 70's was really their only bad decade.
Their receiving corps will be at full strength

Didn't like their moves in FA.

They didn't address their terrible offensive line, paid a guy who got 7.5 sacks last year in a full schedule more per year than Justin Houston and JJ Watt, and signed a corner who has been super inconsistent for 12 million per.

Oh, and they have a new unproven head coach. I'm very meh on the Giants.

I think with Manning and OBJ they can beat anybody. I think with the D, coaching and OL, they can also lose to anybody.

If Romo stays on the field, it's a battle between Washington and Dallas to get to 9 or 10 wins.
I think if the Cowboys take EE, who would takr a ton of pressure off Romo and the D, the Cowboys will run away with the NFC East.

That line and a talent like Elliot would get them a 1,500+ yard rusher.

[hometeam]

no1curr

[Chief Roundup]

Damn, still $19M is steep, makes me think if Peters keeps playing like last season we better lock him up as soon as we can.
