Report: At least five teams in on Josh Norman
Josh Norman is unsurprisingly garnering plenty of interest, with five teams in particular being named as potential suitors.
According to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report, the Atlanta Falcons are among those in, and bidding is expected to get expensive.

We heard about San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Miami on Wednesday, but Atlanta and Chicago are new names in the mix. The Falcons in particular will be intimately familiar with Norman, as Julio Jones torched Norman in Carolina’s only loss of the regular season.
Whoever ends up getting Norman may end up having to make him the highest-paid corner in the league, which is the deal he’s reportedly pursuing.
