CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman will hold his inaugural celebrity basketball game in Charlotte on Friday night because this has become his home.
The 2015 Pro Bowl selection is optimistic it will remain his home as the Panthers and his representation work through his contract situation.
The two sides met this week at the NFL combine in Indianapolis to begin discussing a long-term deal, according to a league source.
If a deal can’t be reached by Tuesday, Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman has said the franchise tag that would guarantee Norman approximately $13.
