The Carolina Panthers made a rather shocking move Wednesday when they rescinded the franchise tag placed on cornerback Josh Norman. However, this move creates some holes in the defense but also brings some positives with it.
More Cap Space The first thing this move does is create additional cap space for the Carolina Panthers. The franchise tag placed on cornerback Josh Norman came at a price of $13.95 million dollars which is now freed up for the front office to use this offseason. Prior to this move, the Panthers had slightly over $18 million available according to the NFL Player Association's website for them to.
