The Washington Redskins released Cornerback Josh Norman from the team Friday, as reported by NBC Sports Washington.
The announcement came four seasons after Norman signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the team.
Norman said Head Coach Ron Rivera called him Friday morning to tell him he was being released from the team.
“It’s their choice not mine,” Norman told NBC Sports Washington. “Now I can start something new and fresh.”
