Quote:It's a shame we weren't really interested in Norman. Corners like that don't hit the open market that often, especially when we have the cap room. It almost seems like Dave is afraid to make that one move that could fail and cast doubt on his job.

I'm not sure this makes sense. Firstly we signed Malik to a monster contract and offered obscene amounts to Vernon. He's not afraid. Also being afraid for the reason you said doesn't make sense either. If he loses his job it will be because the team continues to lose. How would getting Norman make us lose more. Even if he ended up playing just above average instead of an all pro level he would still be helping the team. So it just makes sense that the reason we were probably not going after him is because Dave just doesn't believe he will improve the team close to how much money he wants. Whether that is him being an off the field problem or on the field is unknown but it's obviously his belief. He's not afraid to spend money.
