49ers favorites to sign Josh Norman

Josh Norman - DB - Free Agent

Yahoo! Sports' Charles Robinson reports the 49ers are "expected to be the early front-runner" for free agent CB Josh Norman.

The 49ers have been one of the main teams linked to Norman in his first seven hours of free agency. According to Robinson, the Jaguars also "have interest." Jacksonville and San Francisco are currently Nos. 1 and 2 in cap space, with each having over $50 million available under the cap. It'll come in handy if this becomes a bidding war, which it very likely will. Per ESPN 49ers reporter Paul Gutierrez, Norman is "intrigued" by the idea of playing in California.

You know, all the times I've said "no team would pay a near 30 year old CB 16mil'

I forget about the GM that ran the best HC out of the NFL because he might've been "too mean."

Whatever. HAVE FUN PLAYING FOR CHIP JOSH, ASK BYRON MAXWELL HOW THAT WENT

[Rags]

Seriously Chip has no idea what he's doing on defense and he's gonna use Josh terribly.

[Rags]

Blaine Gabbert is the starting quarterback.

Haha

Sign him and the 49ers will be worse because of the financial effect brought by Josh's big contract.

Why would any player that is chasing money sign with San Fran? Taxes will kill his him w/ a 12.3% state income tax rate. Throw in the fact they have a terrible defense. JNo will lose it mentally playing for Kelly and a terrible team. He will never play out his contract. This has ugliness all over it. San Fran is one of the worst landing spots for him as a player. he is also proving he wants money and not a ring.

He would be better off in Jacksonville.  Better franchise at this moment and better (no) tax rate so would make more in the long run.

[RoaringRiot]

JAX is a much better spot. At least they're on the rise, nice weather, no income tax, chicks in bikinis at the games....

Jax is the toilet bowl of coastal Florida cities.

Plus you're taxed in the states you play home and road so the hit isn't as devastating as perceived

Give me the Bay Area 8 days a week. #Cioppino4life

Josh is from Greenwood and went to school in Conway.  He hasn't a clue what a disaster the Bay Area would be for him. Jax is a much better fit for him.

Seems a good fit. No ego there at all.

lol at both Josh and the Niners.
