The Panthers will be releasing their two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short today, according to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN.
This move was expected, as Short missed most of the 2019 and 2020 seasons due to shoulder injuries.
He’s also 32 years old and the team will save a bunch of salary cap space by cutting him.
For now, Derrick Brown and Zach Kerr are projected to start inside in 2021. Both are relatively cheap and performed well last season.
A couple of free agent replacements who are worth considering include Shelby Harris of the Broncos and Larry Ogunjobi of the Browns
