"Per a source with knowledge of the situation."

Quote

Last year, Panthers cornerback Josh Norman didn’t sign the franchise tender — and the team eventually rescinded it. This year, Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short appears to be prepared to avoid a similar outcome.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Short likely will be signing the franchise tender in the next few days.

Short said in January that he would most likely sign it “quickly.” There was an effort to push back on the notion that he’d pounce on the tender, and while he has given it a week without taking the money, Short likely won’t be waiting a whole lot longer.

And yeah, this source is the same source that said he wouldn't sign it quickly.

Anybody looking (or hoping) for high drama out of this situation is likely about to be disappointed.

Yep.  All that's left now is for the Colts to lock him up long term and give us those two 1st rounders.

Maybe if Grigson was still in charge...

I haven't seen any evidence yet as to whether their new GM is as stupid as Grigson.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
