Josh Norman CB is a 49er

He was one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL and got paid. Throw out 2020, he has fresh legs and maybe there's a little left in the tank.

Its obvious they signed him to be a lead blocker in our running game.

How 'bout punt returner?

He's a fine zone CB. He fits what we do well, especially with Thomas acclimating to the NFL game. He's been average to above average in the games he's played according to PFF so lets see where he goes from here.

The #49ers are signing CB Josh Norman per @JayGlazer.

This!!!! I now will stop b***hing about our cb depth. I wanted a top 50 cb and I feel he is better than a few teams number 2 cb so that puts him right there. 1 int snd 4 PD's in limited games.....not bad. Imagine if he plays with our D If Verrett goes down we have a solid depth option imo. I like how Norman plays aggressive and actually turns his head for ints in phase.

Now we are covered at DE, QB, WR3 and CB. Great job by our FO. TOP 5 team easily

Why not resign old man Sherman as well ? Would solidify our secondary for sure….

Because Sherman has off the field possible mental issues he's fighting. Have people forgotten the incident he had?

This what I said, he has his mental illness issues he's dealing with, football should be in the back of his mind, his mental health & physical health is more important than playing a game.

Lol I remember asking about the 9ers signing a veteran CB and someone saying it wasn't possible!!!!

Hey now, I said a deal like Hayward, he has a $2.5M cap number, Norman is worth UP TO $2.5M, key words UP TO.

I wanted Hayward more than anyone else but oh well. I'm just happy he's on the team for so little money. Way better than DJ and between Norman snd Demo we now have 2 solid backup cbs. That's all that matters

Dude, we're pretty good or deep almost everywhere, QB, RB/FB, WR, TE, DE, DT/NT, CB, S, ST, only shaky areas are the OL(mainly RG), and LB(Depth, we have 2 studs in Warner & Dre), this team may end up being much deeper than the 2019 team IMO.

I hope he still has something left in the tank and can be a good mentor to our young guys. He was never fast (4.6 forty ?) but played smart.
