Silver: I don’t expect 49ers to make a run at Josh Norman

The Washington Redskins are making a strong push for former Carolina Panthers cornerback turned free agent
Josh Norman. It has been reported that there is already a strong offer on the table by Washington and Norman is visiting with the team today.
Mike Silver of
NFL Media stated that he does not expect the 49ers to make a run at signing Norman, despite their early interest in him and reportedly being one of the favorites to acquire Norman.
Washington flew Norman and his family in on a private jet and he
arrived at Redskins Park Friday afternoon in a Secret Service-style convoy of black SUVs, provided by the Redskins.
While the 49ers have asked Norman to visit the team's headquarters in Santa Clara, per
CSN Bay Area, there is currently no visit planned.
Norman became a free agent on Wednesday when the Panthers rescinded their franchise tag for the cornerback, immediately making him a free agent. Norman is expected to sign a deal in the range of $14 million to $15 million per year over 5 years, per Adam Schefter of
ESPN. That's a lot of money to commit to one player, but the 49ers have $52.6 million in cap space according to the
NFLPA.
Washington has almost $12.2 million in cap space available (per
NFLPA), which means that they would likely need to make some transactions in order to fit Norman under their cap.

The San Francisco 49ers had their bounce-back game in Week 2 after a successful trouncing of the woeful New York Jets. Both sides of the ball looked far more polished, with only a handful of errors sprinkled throughout the game.
However, nothing sums up the 49ers' win more than a meme that made the rounds of Twitter on Sunday afternoon.

Things looked dire as the San Francisco 49ers left MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The team had seemingly lost two defenders to severe injuries, the starting quarterback, top two running backs, and others.
Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas were later confirmed to be lost for the season with ACL injuries. The news was better for Jimmy Garoppolo, but the quarterback is still week-to-week with a high-ankle sprain. Raheem Mostert isn't expected to miss too much time, but the same isn't true for Tevin Coleman, who head coach Kyle Shanahan said may miss four weeks and is a candidate for short-term injured reserve.

With a couple of notable exceptions, the San Francisco 49ers stifled the New York Giants on the ground Sunday, which played a big role in the team's 36-9 blowout win at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The 49ers held the Giants to 66 yards on 15 carries, with 49 of those yards coming on runs from quarterback Daniel Jones. It was part of a dominant effort overall that saw the 49ers hold the Giants to 231 total yards while limiting them to 13 first downs and preventing them from running a single play in the red zone.
"I think it's all about just everybody doing their job," 49ers linebacker Fred Warner said after the win. "With the run game, it's all about a mindset knowing that you want to come out and you want to attack -- just attack their offense.
