Washington Redskins safety Duke Ihenacho was thrilled to hear that his team signed corner Josh Norman. It not only makes the defense better, it might make Ihenacho’s wallet a bit thicker as well.
Norman wears No. 24; Ihenacho wears No. 24. Which, of course, will likely lead to a negotiation of some sort – and Ihenacho let Norman know via Twitter that he could have his number, for a price. Considering Norman just received a five-year deal that averages $15 million per year, Ihenacho could have a nice little payday himself.
The number clearly means something to Norman, who wore 24 at Coastal Carolina and has worn it from the time he entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick in 2012.
