The Carolina Panthers have placed the franchise tag on Josh Norman.
If the Panthers and Norman are unable to agree upon a long-term deal, he will play under a one-year salary of $13.952 million.
Norman emerged as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks this season.
Norman finished the 2015 season with four picks, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He added 48 tackles, three forced fumbles and 18 passes defensed to earn first-team All-Pro honors.
