From this article it seems to me that Short will be signed eventually. Obviously Getlleman doesn't negotiate contracts during the season because that can cause distractions. So the signing if it happens this year, will have to happen before week 1. Even if KK doesn't get extended this year I fully expect a long-term deal to be done. I also believe that KK loves it in Carolina he has said this plenty of times. Another thing is that everyone on the team wants him back on the team after this year. We also will be able to use the franchise tag on him next year if we can't get a deal done by then

Remember the report that came out at the beginning of camp that talks had stalled and you all tried to rationalize it as just another Dave gettleman feat of undeniable awesomeness? 

 

"of course they ain't talking! Mah gettledaddy already said he don't do no negotiating during the season! Gettlemagic tells it like it is!"

 

Here's Dave negotiating during the season.

We gave up any and all leverage when we openly admitted to letting Josh go for the specific purpose of resigning KK.

If there was one thing I didn't like about letting Josh go. This was definetly it, KK has all the cards in negotiations currently. We might have to give him the 17 million per that he is asking for

Not accurate.

We still have all of the leverage, KK has very little and knows it.

Having "the leverage" isn't a magical entity awarded to the side you want "to win."

Kawann is a young, elite player at an enormously significant position and has heard us talk about how much money we intend to throw at him all off season. This is furthered by the fact that players like Aaron Donald and Fletcher Cox are setting a standard which he has a rightful claim to.

 

Saying "well you can just go play for another team, we're good at DT" isn't leverage-because he gladly will and get the money he feels he deserves.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
