3. Josh Norman

Before any Eagles fan freaks out over the possibility of Josh Norman being on this list when considering how much of a bust the cornerback has been for the most part since joining the Redskins in 2016, keep in mind the fair price Philadelphia may be able to sign him for.

At the time of the signing for Washington, Norman was considered one of the top cornerbacks in the league thanks to his previous time spent with the Carolina Panthers, but whether he lived up to his hefty contract is debatable.

While there were plenty of great moments involving Norman over the last couple of years, the 2019 season made it clear that he’s far from the effective level early on in his career.

With this in mind, the case can be made that Philadelphia should avoid Norman at all costs, but also for all the Eagles know, a fresh start on a new team could help the veteran return to some of his normal ways.

Plus, with Philadelphia having some concerns with a few of their younger cornerbacks who clearly need to continue developing before reaching the necessary level, the addition of an experienced veteran like Norman could help in a big way.

But most importantly, if the Eagles were to somehow become interested in Norman, here’s to hoping the team wouldn’t overpay since he still has a lot to prove after last year.
