After re-signing Kyle Love, only 2 big moves remain for Panthers defensive line

It seems there are only two big moves left for the Carolina Panthers to make along their defensive line, after re-signing tackle Kyle Love to a 2-year deal on Wednesday morning.

The first is to get defensive tackle Kawann Short to sign the franchise tag the Panthers placed on him this spring. It’s worth $13.5 million and non-exclusive, meaning Short can negotiate with other teams and should he find a better offer, Carolina has the right to either match it or receiver two first-round picks in compensation - but Short is likely to sign the tag.

The second is to draft an edge-rusher this April.
