Can confirm that Josh Norman is being released by the Redskins.They have decided to part ways with him, incurring a $3M dead cap hit. They'll clear a little more than $12M in cap space with the transaction. Norman, 32, will be able to sign ahead of the start of free agency.

#Redskins are releasing CB Josh Norman, source says. Intriguing situation to watch, as he now has time to find his new team ahead of free agency.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 14, 2020Now that the Redskins have released Josh Norman, 2 more names to watch for salary cap cuts are Paul Richardson and Jordan Reed. Won't be shocked if some stuff happens sooner than later. The ball is rolling now.
