Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short is 32 years old, injuries have limited him to five games over the last two years, and he was slated to have a salary cap hit of more than $20 million this season. So no one was expecting him back in Carolina in 2021.
Now it’s official that the Panthers are cutting Short, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

"Hey Eric, I know you talked about bringing in a WR in free agency... but there's a 32 year old DT available, it's time to re-allocate those funds"

Short might be the kind of player that sits on the market until after the draft, then gets a one year deal with a team that missed on a tackle. Maybe $5 mil + incentives.

Not only that but it's an unmissable opportunity to get even older on the D line.

"hey Eric, got a 32 year old lineman we should check out"
"oh yeah? Is he a center or guard?"
"... Defensive tackle"

Thanks

Another solid, if unspectacular safety on the market

He is a 32 yr old DT who has managed to play all of 5 games the past 2 seasons due to injuries. I think the only way he is getting to 5m is with incentives.

Apparently good in coverage - weak tackling - I wanted him but what do I know

Ravens could use another player at safety for depth, I don't know if Tre Boston makes sense, but he is available.

Report: Eagles releasing DeSean Jackson

I thought a 3rd safety would be an offseaaon need, but I think that's likely the role Jimmy will be playing when Tavon comes back. That's where he was against Buffalo and played well. Plus we could always bring Kearse back
