For a guy who started 16 games with only 4 penalties last season, if he's going to be healthy before the season starts and we can get him on a cheap contract, then I'm absolutely interested.

He was cut so they could clear his cap room as it looks like it would have been his last year there anyways as they apparently have some young guards they like, not like he's washed up.

He can start the season as our RG and then when Austin is healthy, let the best 2 guards take the starting spots and we have a high end backup in case of any injury.

Definitely hesitant to sign a guy that was cut by a coach known to be loyal to his vets. Injuries? Incoming disciplinary action? What is it?

Looking at the roster, it looks like they're rolling with Nick Gates ($3.2M), Braeden Daniels (2023 4th), Chris Paul (2022 7th), and Saahdiq Charles (2020 4th) with Trenton Scott ($1.5M) competing for a roster spot. By cutting Norwell, the Commanders will save nearly $5M which  essentially halves the cost of the offensive guards for the team.

At least, that's what this article announcing that he will be released from May 30th suggests. 😮

I doubt he goes anywhere to be a camp body, otherwise I'd say give it a shot. But with Christensen, Corbett, Zavala, and Mays he'd be here until Corbett is back. I don't think that works out in the end for the team nor Norwell.

Not sure who the teams currently are that are thin on the interior. They'll likely already have been talking to his agent.

      Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.

      LSU receiver Lacy found dead

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
