Fletcher Cox is Holding Out For a Deal: What about Short?


The Huddler

Recommended Posts

Im watching NFLN like a tool..

 

Fletcher Cox is holding out so far for a deal.. Hes under contract for the 2016 season.. Hes MIA

 

Is Short? Pretty much same scenario.. I know we started later because of our post season success.. But im curious.. Is Short present? 

 

Honest question from a fan that I know others will be wondering as well

 

Go Panthers

No chance, that's why the Godfather has our stars locked up a year ahead of time.  Cox was from the 2012 draft.

So they probably placed the 5th year option on him and he wants a long term deal hence the hold out. 

 

KK is in a completely different situation. He has no fifth year option.

There hasnt really been any hint that he would hold out, plus we are trying to get this done well ahead of time rather than roll the dice and see if he has another good year.  I am betting we get him locked up long term before the season starts, DG values his hog mollies, he will pay him, plus I dont think he wants to endure the hell of having our fans question him allowing another guy to develop under our staff and then walk to another team.

Here is a good article on the Cox subject.  Eskin in Philly recently came out and said that Cox and agent had turned down $60 million in guarantee's.  Cox's agent went on the radio to say BS.

Neither Cox or Short are going to get Suh money but they will probably better the 6 year, $95 mil, $60 mill guarantee that Dareus signed last fall.

I doubt DG gives a rip about fans questioning him. If fact I'd be willing to bet there are very few things he cares less about.

Fair point.  Then again his comments about all the hell he caught over tagging Hardy after the domestic violence stuff was brought up suggest certain points weigh with him.

    • Holy poo... we have allowed the fewest goals in the playoffs, total. Including the teams that lost in the first round... lmao
    • It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
    • You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
