KK Short is Defensive Player of the Month - Lock this man in long term

[Jeremy Igo]

IMO, KK Short should be our highest priority long term signing on the team.

Do y'all think he's gonna get a 100 mill contract?

[Cary Kollins]

I bet Gettleman agrees.

[Kevin Greene]

Obviously this guy is a cornerstone moving forward. Get 'er done.

[Ivan The Awesome]

In nipple shorts we trust. As a fan, this makes me feel at ease.

Not with the Panthers...but I'm not averse to paying him. Just have no idea how much that contract might be worth.

[Darth Biscuit]

He was drafted in '13 with Star right?  What's the current status of their contracts?

[Jeremy Igo]

Kawann made 1.3 million this year. 

Charles Johnson made 20 million.

McCoy and Suh got 100 mill and they're considered the best DTs who can rush the passer. KK just had a 12 sack season. That is cray cray. And he can line up as a DE. I really don't know what numbers we're looking at though. Hope he stays with us long term, obviously.

We're gonna lose Norman, aren't we?

Granted, there's the tag but...

I don't see Gettleman paying top dollar to a CB that will be 28 next season. I think he franchises him and then part ways.

Next year is his last year. Star gets the 5th year option. At least that's my understanding. Could be wrong. And I know Suh and company got 100 Mil contracts but I don't think the Panthers will pay that much. At least I hope not.

That's what I was thinking, we have the 5th year option on Star since he was 1st round, but KK was 3rd round.

 

I mean you can make a case that KK is the best DT in the league... that's big money.

 

I think Zod is right in that we tag Norman... I think we sign KK and exercise year 5 on Star and cut CJ, esp if we draft a DE this year.

I figured.

That said, our pass rush has fallen off too. G-Man is gonna have to rebuild around Star and Short ASAP then.

If Gettleman can snag 1 maybe 2 adequate pass rushers in this draft, every Panthers CB is going to look like a pro bowler.

Damn, this team keeps cranking out homegrown superstars....we are not going to be able to afford all the studs that we have produced lately.  Kinda hard to pay the best young QB, the best MLB in football, the best CB, possibly the best DT, and another one not too far down the list.  

Thats not even mentioning KB or anyone else I forgot.....poo is cray cray.  I guess its a good problem to have, but it is going to really really blow to see some of these guys who were developed and molded into superstars here, leave because we cannot afford them all.
