Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said the team continues to negotiate with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short on a contract extension, but declined to address the likelihood of a deal.
Talking with reporters before Tuesday’s practice, Gettleman said only that negotiations are ongoing with Short, who finished with 11 sacks and made his first Pro Bowl in 2015. There haven’t been any public indications a deal is imminent.
Short’s price went up this summer after Philadelphia’s Fletcher Cox and the New York Jets’ Muhammad Wilkerson reset the market by signing deals averaging $17 million a year.
