The Panthers’ defensive tackle, Kawann Short, is 32, injuries have limited him to five games in the past two years and he should have a salary cap of more than $ 20 million this season. Therefore, no one expected him back to Carolina in 2021.
It is now official that the Panthers are leading the way, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This gives Short an advantage at the free agency, although we still don’t see what kind of offers he has. Short was a Pro Bowler in 2018, but in 2019 he was limited to just two games, and in 2020 he played three games. He had shoulder surgery for two consecutive years.
The Panthers made a series of moves last year that emphasized youth in defense, and now their defensive player with the longest time is out.
