Dream team scenario: Le’Veon Bell to the Redskins?
Le’Veon Bell has yet to sign his franchise tag with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also failed to make an appearance at the team’s minicamp. If this situation turns further south, could the Redskins score big once again off of another team’s franchise tag folly?

The move paid off for the Redskins. Norman built off of the success of his 2015 season, maintaining his reputation as one of the fiercest, most competitive cornerbacks in the league.
