Norman, 32, is a former fifth-round pick of the Panthers back in 2012. He spent four years in Carolina and actually received the Panthers’ franchise tag following the 2015 season

However, Carolina surprisingly pulled the tender and he eventually signed a five-year, $75 million contract that included $36.5 million fully guaranteed with the Redskins.

Norman was set to make a base salary of $12 million for the 2020 season when the Bills released him back in February. He later signed a one-year deal with a base value of $6 million with Buffalo.

He was placed on injured reserve in September but was activated a month later.

In 2020, Norman has appeared in three games and recorded 18 total tackles, two tackles for loss, no interceptions, two pass defenses, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.
