Redskins feel Norman’s impact, Panthers feel his departure
ASHBURN, Va. — Josh Norman doesn’t want to kick the Carolina Panthers when they’re down, even if they’re down in part because they let him go.
An All-Pro cornerback for the NFC champions, Norman was cut loose from the $13.9 million franchise tag in April and signed for $75 million over five years with the Washington Redskins days later.
While Norman and the Redskins are still in the playoff hunt at 7-5-1, his old team is a disappointing 5-8 and is third-worst in the league against the pass.
