Josh Norman has been great but failed to live up to the hype since his All-Pro season in 2015. His production has stalled over the last couple of seasons. Norman has started just 11 games over that span with two different teams, playing a cumulative 42.8% of defensive snaps. That didn’t stop the San Francisco 49ers from signing the cornerback to a one-year incentive-laden contract that could reach up to $2.5 million.

The signing could have to do with the uncertainty around Jason Verrett’s availability. Verrett is officially listed as questionable with plantar fasciitis.
