One year ago today, the Redskins signed All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman just prior to the start of the 2016 NFL Draft. Redskins.com looks back at his first year in Washington.
In a turn of events that sent shockwaves through the NFL, the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, April 20, 2016, announced the rescinding of cornerback Josh Norman’s franchise tag. The move immediately made the All-Pro a free agent, open to signing with any team.
While there was interest among a few teams around the league, Norman only made one official visit: to the Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park in Loudoun County, Va.
