The issue is just because one guy can play on both sides of the field doesn't mean everyone in your secondary can. Then if the #1 WR moves to the slot, you now have your slot corner playing outside, which may not be something he can do, and that's assuming your #1 is built to be an inside corner.
If you look at our own team we don't do that with pacman. For the most part Dre and Pacman play their sides of the field, now based on some formations they move, but normally Dre is left and Pacman is right.
IDK if you read my comment, but we are saying essentially the same thing. I think if you are GOING TO pay all that money for a corner, he better be able to shadow the other teams best receiver. AKA, I wouldn't pay big bucks for really any corner. If you look at the success of FA corners (after making a name for themselves) it usually isn't a happy ending for the player or the team.
Paying a guy like Norman to hold down one side of the field is great, if you have a good defense already, but when your defense isn't that great, it just doesn't work.
Completely agree that corners have their dominant side and for the most part shouldn't follow guys, but wouldn't pay big bucks for a guy like that unless I felt the rest of the team was already in place.... Redskins mistake essentially.
