FartWaffles 1,857 Posted July 18, 2016 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8434/kawann-short NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Panthers walk-year DT Kawann Short will report for camp. Short sat out OTAs, but he returned for the mandatory portion of the offseason program. He should be the Panthers' No. 1 contract priority heading into the preseason, but reports have suggested GM Dave Gettleman is unwilling to pay much more than $15 million per season on a new deal. With Fletcher Cox and Muhammad Wilkerson both recently getting more than $17 million annually, that likely will not be enough to get something done. If those reports are true, Short will be playing for a new team in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted February 28, 2017 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8434/kawann-short Panthers assigned the franchise tag to DT Kawann Short. It's a move the Panthers admitted was all but inevitable earlier this month. Short's non-exclusive tag is worth approximately $14.77 million. One of the league's very best interior linemen, Short would have been the subject of an intense bidding war on the open market. He's rumored to be seeking $17-$19 million per season in long-term talks. Short turned 28 on Feb. 2. With Star Lotulelei's contract up after 2017 and 2016 first-rounder Vernon Butler on the rise, Short could have only one year left in Carolina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted April 17, 2017 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8434/kawann-short Panthers re-signed DT Kawann Short to a five-year, $80 million contract. Short had yet to sign his franchise tag, and the two sides beat the July deadline with ease. At $16 million per year, Short becomes the league's third-highest-paid 4-3 defensive tackle behind Ndamukong Suh and Fletcher Cox. Short was said to be seeking $17-19 million annually. With Short now locked up through 2021, the Panthers could be forced to let fellow DT Star Lotulelei walk as a free agent next spring. Carolina used a first-rounder on DT Vernon Butler last year. Short was Pro Football Focus' No. 3 defensive tackle last season behind Aaron Donald and Suh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos 2,847 Posted April 18, 2017 Honestly a pretty fair price for a DT of Short's caliber. I expected him to settle for nothing less than the #1 paid DT in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted April 19, 2017 Honestly a pretty fair price for a DT of Short's caliber. I expected him to settle for nothing less than the #1 paid DT in the league. That was never gonna happen. Look at that disaster. I think even Short would agree that that contract is a disaster.... for the team anyway. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted April 19, 2017 I think he could have gotten it on the open market, was my point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
