Bills' Sean McDermott reveals what will get Norman Back to form.

Norman signed with the Bills on March 18 that allowed him to reunite with his defensive coordinator in Carolina.

Norman a former pro bowler has been in decline over the past two seasons. Leading to his termination. 

Nico Beato of Clutch Point reported "It came to a head in Week 12 of the 2019 season when interim head coach Bill Callahan benched Norman in favor of Fabian Moreau."

McDermott is hoping to return Norman to the level he had before they separated. McDermott blamed the system, personal, and culture in Washington for Norman's decline. The Redskins were a dumpster fire ranking 27th on defense and 32nd on offense in 2019. A far cry from the team McDermott fielded in Buffalo.

"That’s another example of people coming to Buffalo and regaining, in this case, a better version of one’s self.” McDermott added "He experienced great success in Carolina with our culture and system, and hopefully coming to a similar culture and system, he’ll be able to regain his form. I know he’s working hard,” said McDermott" 

Buffalo ranked 2nd if defense in 2019, and is rivaling the defense the Bills' had between 1987-1993. Buffalo looks to reclaim the division they surrendered to the Patriots in 2001, after losing an 8 year rivalry.

Redskins HC Ron Rivera Shares Thoughts On Signing Cam Newton

It was expected by many that Rivera and Newton would be a package deal in Washington. Newton's only really played for coach Rivera, However "Super" Cam is still a free agent.

Rivera beat around the subject and hinted he had his quarterbacks but gave no real answer on Good Morning Football this Thursday. 

“You know, the thing about Cam really is the situation …We’re in a situation where we’ve got two really young quarterbacks, one that’s been with us, been in the system, understands how we want things done and the other one is a guy who was taken last year in the first round and shows some promise.I think with Cam, and I have thought about it, I mean, it’s something that’s run through my mind, and it’s about the situation and circumstances. I’m not sure I would do it. I’m not sure if I wouldn’t do it. It depends on circumstances.”

According to Hunter Noll of clutch point "The Redskins already have Dwayne Haskins. The 22-year-old had an up-and-down rookie season in 2019, but it ended on a high note where his on-field performance was concerned."

Rivera already signed one former Panthers' quarterback, in Allen.  Newton still being a free agent this late into the off season will effectively lower his asking price, if Rivera or anyone else wants to take the risk. 

Newton is one of four starters still waiting on the free agent market, along with Joe Flacco, Andy Dalton, and Blake Bortles. 

The Redskins appear to already have their starter and backup quarterback locked up. The odds of them bringing in Newton appear low but as former Falcons HC Jerry Glanville used to say "You know what NFL stands for Not For Long!" ; NFL roster are ever evolving.

One could make the case, the reason these four have not been added to a quarterback room, is because it's about quality over quantity.
