<p style="font-size:26px;">However when a player of Norman's talent is simply let free with zero compensation clearly there is something else there

Won't they get compensatory pick next year (I know it's just a 3rd rounder - based on a contract he'll most likely get - but better than nothing)? Or does rescinding franchise tag count the same as if he was cut?

 

 

I can totally understand Panther's decision after what happened to us with Kam Chancellor. We needed more than half of the season to again build our team chemistry after his holdout. Keeping Norman's situation unchanged (and after talking with Norman/his agent over the last weeks they knew how far away they were to reach a new deal; and he wasn't willing to sign tag) way into training camp or even start of the season would bring a lot of unrest and could ruin their team chemistry as well.
