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.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.

      No, stay the course, add via FA / Draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
