Kawann Short’s breakthrough 2015 season included 11 sacks, a Pro Bowl nomination and now an appearance on NFL Network's annual "Top 100" list.

The disruptive defensive tackle checks in at No. 58, joining center Ryan Kalil (No. 79) and running back Jonathan Stewart (No. 86) on the list voted on by players across the league.

Reasonable, though another year like last will prove that he deserves to be higher. Guy would be nosing into 'consistently elite' territory.

Lots of people questioned Getty when he drafted Short after Star, but once again Dave showed us he knows what he's doing. KS is just scratching the surface of what he can do, a genuine nightmare for o-lines everywhere.

Being at number 58 may seem too low, but keep in mind there are almost 1700 players across all 32 man teams.  KK being in the top 3.5% is pretty dang solid.

He deserves any praise he gets. Now our DE's need to step it up big time

My question is do you guys think KK is going to make more money on a per year basis than Kuechly?

Yes

Pretty good for a guy drafted #44 overall in 2013 and now rated 58th best NFL player in 2015.

Starting in the opener.  KK deserves what he's about to get, but while our D played great overall, KK did nothing to have his name called on the biggest stage.  If there's even the slightest hair of silver lining from that chitty California night, maybe it's that it can it can be used in this contract negotiation and further used as motivation.

so nobody is gonna say anything about this already being a thread since it's Igo? haha

I personally don't ever mind if there are similar threads, but I know some members of the huddle jump all over ppl for it!

KK will break the bank. He will do the same song and dance as Norman, and Gettleman will low ball him. The question is will Gettleman remove the franchise tag again when KK threatens to hold out while his agent shops around for offers?

When KK signs this summer with little drama, I hope many Huddlers will wave this in your face. 

1) KK and Josh are two totally different men. 

2) KK's comments about his contract process are completely calm and professional.  

3) They play different positions, one of which Gettleman values highly, the other of which he views as less important in our scheme.

There is absolutely no evidence at this point to think that a contract won't be signed before the season starts.  Gettleman got Cam & Luke done with little drama last summer.  There's no reason to think KK's contract signing won't be similar.

When KK agent ask for 16-18m a season, what you tell him? Lol
