He had one good year which looks like an anomaly at this point. Bust if he is cut.. he has no contract. will most likely sign for vet min There is a time table for him where he can be picked up by another team on the contract he is under. After that time he becomes a free agent. I think the time is 48 hours. So for now any team that wanted Martin would have to assume his contract. Not a good thing to do.

JamesMadisonSkins Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Norman - Moreaux- Dunbar isn’t ideal. But it’s not terrible. Especially with Holsey and Harvey-Clemons as upside options. But I agree you end up being in a position to draft someone to add depth and prepare for the eventual replacement of Norman in the next 1-2 years. Also, realizing now our CBs are comprised of a 5th, UDFA, 3rd, 7th and 7th. Even bringing back Breeland adds a 4th. Been a while since we invested 1st/2nd round in a CB. Not that I’m advocating for that. Just interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinhan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I like Martin if he stays healthy. Get him a contract with with active roster bonuses... he is better than anyone we got by a wide margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantees we keep Norman... now it's floating out there that we're considering going in a different direction... which would vault CB to to the top of the needs list... like a rocket.

Perhaps JLC is merely projecting based on the last few soundbites Josh has provided, but I think he made it rather clear that he's not all that impressed with how this move has turned out for him.

I dont understand why Norman would be this bitter about it, something personal between him and Kirk or him and Fuller. Most guys understand it's a business, and he should be the first to understand that after what happened between him and his former agent regarding Carolina. If anything it opened up money for him to get an extension after this year....His play tailed off during the 2nd half of last year, and he's yet to prove he's still one of 'the best' CBs in the game. This past year was his most expensive, being vocally against the franchise isn't exactly the best way to look for an extension, unless he wants to take the money and run.

I dont understand why Norman would be this bitter about it, something personal between him and Kirk or him and Fuller. It doesn't necessarily have to be personal. I think he means it when he says he came here expecting great things. He was a big time Cousins guy. I'm sure he's a big time Fuller guy. I'm sure he sees them as pivotal pieces in experiencing the great things he's been expecting. He's also given the impression that he hasn't always been happy with how's been used in this defense. I agree that his play took a turn for the worse after coming back from injury. But I'm sure he probably sees things a little bit differently than we do. I don't say all that to say that he definitely wants to jump on the next thing smoking out of Washington, it just wouldn't surprise me at all if he's seen enough in his two years with the team to know he doesn't want to spend the back nine of his career here.

I'm not concerned about our DBs, just think we may get one later in the draft or a middle-type FA to bolster that crew.

Unfortunately paying the "tax" to get out of the Cousins mess by trading a third to KC (along with Fuller) really weakens our draft position. I'm not against a trade back depending on how we perform in FA. From the sounds of it we're not doing much, to include re-signing our own, which is depressing.

skinny21 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I would definitely see what Breeland is looking for, but I have a hunch it’s going to be quite a bit more than we’re willing to spend. I also think they’d prioritize dline and receiver higher (in FA), as well as re-signing Brown (or another ILB). I can’t express how bummed I am that we finally found a slot corner and immediately moved on. If we did target a corner in FA, I’d rather go for a guy that can play in the slot - there are several options, I believe. Personally, I’d look at a cheaper wr (along the lines of the Quick signing last year) in FA and hope to add a guy in the draft. Tier 1 dlineman, mid tier slot corner, ILB and maybe back, and a low-mid tier receiver. Surprised Murphy hasn’t been talked to. Re-signing him would make me feel much better about OLB. Those moves would open up the draft for us and give us some flexibility to maybe trade down to recoup the 3rd rounder (or maybe more). Edit: @DC9I both like and hate that last post, lol.

We may have different views on the Kirk saga but other than that I doubt we differ much in our opinion of the franchise and how it's being run. The difference is that you can only beat a dead horse for so long and at some point it becomes exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
