Then Josh Norman signed with the Buffalo Bills before the start of free agency in 2020, we thought it would be a way to lock down the position and provide some competition to Levi Wallace. While that all proved to be the case, the price tag for that was higher than we would have thought.
Norman was the 34th-highest paid cornerback in all of football in 2020, earning $6 million for his one season in Buffalo. That was coming off a 12-game, eight-start season in 2019. In 2020, he had just three starts in nine games, so his contract demands aren’t going to be as steep in 2021.
