Josh Norman is officially a free agent according to Ian Rapoport and Gregg Rosenthal. I have no clue what happened. Something has to have happened behind the scenes, right? He was considered a top five CB in the league.

Panthers were also convinced he was going to hold out as be a problem in the locker room if he didn't get his money.
Don't forget he got into a fight in TC and Cam Newton had to beat him up.

I always figured he was a d-bag. But when he came on NFLN he just came off like a fruit cake.... Which makes him look more and more like a poser.

Given the short shelf life, you can't blame a guy for wanting to become a FA. It takes two in FA though. We'll see if someone pays him close to what he wants, or what he would've earned under the tag. If so, then Norman wins.

Sounds like the Redskins have an agreement with Norman.

I wonder if pulling it off hurt. Where was he tagged? The ear?

Honestly I think he's pretty good, but the Panthers have a beastly front 7 so my thinking is he wanted a ton of money and they felt that they didn't need to pay a guy who could just be an okay CB top money seeing as he's playing behind one of the better front 7's in the league. I guess we'll see this year since he's with the Redskins
