The Carolina Panthers cleared $19.9 million in salary-cap space this week with the release of four players, including three on Friday.
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short says he won't stage a contract holdout this season while awaiting a new deal from the Panthers.
Defensive tackle Kawann Short will report to Panthers training camp, according to a source, even though he is without a long-term deal.
Kawann Short was at Bank of America Stadium on Monday when physicals were given for the Panthers' three-day mandatory minicamp that begins Tuesday, a league source said.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera isn't concerned by the absence of Kawann Short from voluntary workouts, but he isn't sure if the star defensive tackle will show up for mandatory minicamp.
Among 20 moves for NFC South teams this offseason: Carolina should give star CB Josh Norman the franchise tag; New Orleans should extend QB Drew Brees' contract and hope he takes a pay cut.
