DeAngelo Hall is one of the many voices suggesting the Washington Redskins probably shouldn’t bring back corner Josh Norman at his current price tag.
Said price tag is north of $15 million in 2020 on the final year, so the commentary is certainly understandable.
Hall sat down with Craig Hoffman on 106.7 The Fan and touched on this (h/t NBC Sports’ Eric Myers):
“I, as a fan, would love to have Josh back on this team, in this defense that I feel will be similar to Carolina,” Hall said. “But to me, it doesn’t make sense to bring Josh back for $15 million. It’s just a big pill to swallow when you can do a lot with that money on a team that needs a lot of help.”
Make no mistake — Hall also noted he wished the Redskins would’ve put Norman in a better position to make plays just like coaches in Carolina did a few years ago.
Funnily enough, Ron Rivera now leads the Redskins and maybe there is a reality where what Hall speaks of can still happen. But there’s the all-important financial hurdle to clear, which would take some work from both parties.
