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.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
