1. Josh Norman, CB, Redskins
How he got here: Free agency (from Panthers)
Norman’s rights were locked up for the majority of the offseason, but a refusal to sign his franchise tender left his position in Carolina precarious. GM Dave Gettleman was unfazed by a shortage of corners, rescinding the tag and allowing Norman to hit the market. New Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry improved the defense in 2015, but had an obvious hole in the secondary opposite Bashaud Breeland. Chris Culliver struggled last season, allowing a QB rating of 134.8 (surrendering four touchdowns on 35 targets). Will Blackmon, meanwhile, is much better suited to a more limited role in the slot. He allowed 63 percent of targets to be caught for 264 yards, three touchdowns, and recorded two picks inside in 2015. In contrast, when lined up outside, Blackmon allowed 51 percent of targets to be caught for 418 yards, four touchdowns, and no picks a year ago. Norman’s 54.0 QB rating allowed led all NFL corners a year ago; he should be a dramatic upgrade in Washington.

I absolutely love the pickup.
He definitely makes our secondary stronger.
On another positive note, ODB is dating Khloe Kardashian (the fake Kim) so he has a blight on him already

Rhutt-Ro. I don't care for the sound of that. I thought he was a quiet professional type, I must have read something wrong.

I hope that was meant sarcastically!! He was a loudmouth like Richard Sherman all season. Hope he's over that!

Norman didn't write the piece.

OTOH, he had ODB completely wrapped around the axle, and totally ineffective. I predict more of the sme... And, I'm fine with that.
