He registered 24 tackles, two tackles for a loss, four passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, and a forced fumble through nine games, including three starts, with the Buffalo Bills last season. Before that, the cornerback spent time with the Washington Football Team.

Norman, 33, has recorded 440 tackles, a sack, 84 passes defensed, 15 interceptions, three touchdowns, and 13 forced fumbles through his nine NFL seasons. He is a was named a first-team All-Pro and selected to the Pro Bowl in 2015.
