Is Kawann Short holding out?

[caatfan]

"KK Short is the 58th best player in the NFL"

Wonder how it would work out if we made him the 58th highest paid player.

I give it a few days b4 the Gettle-douche crowd starts chirping.

If we sign him to a deal, great, if he holds out and hurts the team then he doesn't fit our culture and we'll move on.

I like KK and want him here for the foreseeable future.  It's time to make your choice, success and money, or just money.

Either way, I respect the decisions made by both parties much in the same vein as JNo before this.

contract year guys skipping OTAs isn't terribly uncommon

Why wouldn't he?

He risks injury during a big contract year to attend volunar workouts? Non-story thus far.

There's a way to use leverage while still keeping a solid working relationship. Looks like KK and his side are using that leverage in the appropriate way and as long as communication between both sides is frequent and honest, I would imagine we'll see a contract finalized before the season starts (completely my guess - no insider info). The key to what KK is doing is that it's quiet. He's not on every sports show and in the media talking about holding out. It gives the team some cover and keeps that "hold out" talking point out of the media. I'm sure the Panthers appreciate this and will go a long way in getting a fair deal done. Well, that and the fact that he's a huge human sack machine in the middle of your front 7.

But the Panthers only want players who want to be hear! lol

Uh that's exactly what he's showing by "holding out" he could just play this year, bet on himself and go to the highest bidder next year a la Josh

Wow, Kawann outed himself as a selfish, money-grubbing prick. Does he want more money or does he want a ring? DG should work with him for about 3 weeks and then cut him if he misses one training camp practice!

Igo has been learning how to generate content from all them fancy journalists he's been hanging out with.  I see you.

Don't blame him

no you're wrong it's super duper ultra rare

in fact it's so rare that there certainly isn't a similar situation happening right now on another NFC team

Sidenote - this thread is clickbaity with a speculative narrative created by Jeremy. We normally make fun of stuff like this...

Told ya, it's nothe always what the player says. It's what the agent does and tells his client is best. Kk worth 16-17m a season easy
