5 years, $75 million, $50 million guaranteed

Is he really worth $15 million a year? Guess these will be tears of joy now?

He will cost the Cowboys at least one win

Glad he went to Washington instead of LA or SF. That being said that he has the year like he did last year with a much better defense then the one he just signed with

The Snyder Skins are a riot. If someone had told me Norman had just signed for that kind of money they would have been my first guess. That franchise never learns.

Sometimes a DB has a good year thanks to the DL. There are countless examples of DB's going elsewhere and getting exposed. We had 2 here. Duane Starks and Dexter Jackson. They were both mediocre here.

If Norman gets paid like that, how much would PP21 deserve after 2015 oO with that money the contract Bethel signed seems very reasonable and even cheap oO

 

[Sunburn]

I'm just happy this weakens Carolina.

 

[Goldfield]

Players getting stupid money... glad he's in Washington.

Josh Norman gets $36.5 million fully guaranteed at signing

Per a source with knowledge of the deal, Norman will receive a $15 million signing bonus along with $36.5 million fully guaranteed, earned over the first two years. While that’s not $50 million, it’s a great payout for a deal signed on April 22.

The first three years are strong as well. Norman will make $20 million through the first year, $37 million (if he earns a $500,000 46-man roster bonus in 2017, as he likely will) through 2017, and $51 million through 2018.

That’s more than Norman would have gotten under two years of the franchise tag in Carolina, where his $13.95 million tender in 2016 would have become $16.74 million in 2017, for a total of $30.69 million over two seasons.

If Washington chooses not to keep Norman through three years at $51 million (an average of $17 million per year), he’ll exit with $18.5 million per year over two.

Just glad its not the 49ers.

There's gotta be more to the story. Carolina had plenty of cap space prior to rescinding the tag and could've easily kept him for at least 2016.

Was the thinking the same thing. I also heard that he really wanted to be on the west coast. Obviously, hat didn't happen

I know this makes no sense. They could have had him play for the tag amount. Something is up.
