From T-U:
Norman’s franchise tag was worth $13.952 million but he never signed it, electing to see how negotiations on a new contract progressed before the July 15 deadline.
The Jaguars are a natural fit for Norman because they remain without a no-doubt No. 1 cover corner and have the salary cap space to pay him.The Jaguars are $52.5 million under the cap, more than every team but San Francisco, meaning they could easily construct a contract averaging $15 million per year, eclipsing the Jets’ Darrelle Revis ($14.024 million), Arizona’s Patrick Peterson ($14.01 million) and Seattle’s Richard Sherman ($14 million).
I'm sure they'll do their due diligence but if he's asking for over 15, I doubt they'll do it with the contracts of Bortles, Hurns, Robinson coming up soon
Dang it would be nice, it's hard because I think we have a realistic shot at Ramsey. But this would give us a lot of leverage in the draft

Ramsey is not a pure cornerback, he is a strong safety/nickel hybrid. Take Jack, get Norman and don't look back.

Don't worry about that they have plenty of money and can make more cap room by cutting people like Poz, Odrick, AluAlu Joeckel among others.

Exactly.
You know Gus is fighting HARD for this move in a potential pink slip year.
I dunno if you guys saw the billboards but he was a special guest at the Titus Dome on Easter. I was wondering why on earth he would come here of all places.. But now maybe I see why!
We already have 2 threads on this.
With the cap space we've got it shouldn't be a problem to sign him to an extension. Only sticking points would be our willingness to pay big money on a 28 year old corner, and the players desire to come here. If both line up, bring him on board because he's clearly talented and could be a good addition.
My only reservation is did the Panthers' defense make him into a better player (ie a product of the system like Maxwell in Seattle)? Or is he really a legit shutdown corner?

Saw that too...wifey went and said the place was packed and Norman seemed to really enjoy the service.
Won't have to worry about, missing out on Ramsey if Norman comes her. Big price take, but the Jags have no excuse to not sign Norman if he's willing.
I read the headline to this thread on BCC, too.
Sign Norman tomorrow, draft bosa next week, chhhhammmmpiioonnnshiippp

You thought we would win the championship last year and even when Gene Smiff was here, we get it.

Now that I think about, luke kuechly and the front 7 better made him look good. Pass on him. Another Zane beadles.
He's 28, he's slow and he's a suspension waiting to happen. Pass

@nflcharlie @maximus1016 They have plenty of space. So much so that they could pay all the guaranteed money up front and be cleared for next year. Plus the cap keeps going up.
