A day after locking up one of their young star players to a long-term deal, the Carolina Panthers contract talks stalled short of a final deal with another of their young cornerstones.

Contract talks between fourth-year cornerback Josh Norman and the Panthers were halted on a potential long-term extension on Friday, according to the Charlotte Observer.

This a day after the team signed star linebacker Luke Kuechly to a five-year, $62.5 million extension.

Despite attempting to work towards the goal of getting it done before the start of the season, Norman and the Panthers couldn’t agree on a number.

Norman, Carolina’s No. 1 corner, will likely become a free agent now at season’s end due to general manager Dave Gettleman’s policy of not negotiating contracts in-season.
