  • I don't think he's that good for the hype he gets but he's a legit corner. I wouldn't be mad if we went after him

    GO BROWNS!!!

  • With many teams strapped after they already spent their monies on free agents, do the Browns jump on him? Do they take a big cap hit if they release Tramon Williams? Will Joe Haden ever be worth his contract, and can the Browns get him to re-structure it?

  • the guy is a self ego ass..NO!!

  • I have saw Norman play every game last year. To say Skrine and Gipson were better is laughable. Do I think he is worth what he was wanting the Panther to pay, no. But he is a legit play making corner who plays with a chip on his shoulder, a la Steve Smith. So I don't mind the attitude as long as he channels it properly. I say the Browns should go after him, it instantly upgrades the back field and removes a draft need right away.

  • You may be right about Skrine and Gipson on the Browns but I believe they get better with new teams. As for the money Norman wants; he'll probably find a team willing but do they have cap space in April? Do the Browns have money for Norman and his giant ego?

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • I like what Josh Norman brings to the D, but I think his attitude doesn't fit what the Browns are building. I'm not saying that the Browns are building a team that puts the ball in the ref's hand all the time, but his attitude is a bit overboard. I just don't see Hue going after this guy.

    Not a logical FA acquisition, but fuck logic. Go get him.

    Seriously, could you imagine? I don't know if he'd be willing to play for the Browns, but $ does weird things to the best of men. We have the cap space, why not?

  • Need some of Josh's attitude on this defense.

    I agree, some attitude done the right way could help a lot.

  • To get Norman Ebeneezer Haslam would have to spend money.....Haslam aint spending....Bah Humbug

  • One thing I love about Josh's game... his eyes. He has great feel for receivers route combinations and isn't afraid to leave his primary assignment if he thinks the ball is going elsewhere.

    Now, it does help that the panthers have played a solid amount of cover 2. But when they go to their c6 or qtr/qtr/half looks, he's done very well at the boundary spot.

  • A 28 year old with one good season who's asking for top 5 money.

    Does anyone seriously think that's what the browns are after?

  • On the surface this is an extremely unusual move and I dare say a very Cleveland Browns type of plan. However, if you don't know Dave Gettleman is arguably a top 5 GM in this game right now and was instrumental in making the Panthers the SB contending team they are. Dave is known as using the Steelers approach of not overpaying players he feels aren't worth it, which in his case are CB's. Here's a pretty good article about it: http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/20477/the-philosophy-of-panthers-gm-and-demands-of-josh-norman-never-meshed

    I say that to bring up the point that if this guy who actually knows what he's doing made this bold move he didn't have to make, something stinks. He could have hard-balled Norman into a position where he would have signed the tender, but he didn't. I don't actually blame guys for wanting to go get paid, but you have to consider these variables in a big way.

  • He would never play for us...top rated free agents have at least a little say in where they go. In my mind, he would NEVER go from a Superbowl playing team, to a team that is so far away from the playoffs, that we can't even PRETEND to see them.

    But...we should still try, LOL. I don't care what the price is.

    I think he would go wherever the money is.

    The logical side of me says the FO won't spend big time money on a guy who will be 30 by time we have a competitive team.

    I do think for him it IS all about the money. Obviously continuing to play on a Championship contending team is not important to him, or he would have stayed in Carolina.

    I also think he may be surpised by the fact that there may NOT be any takers for his services at the price he wants.
