So what is Short, a second-round pick out of Purdue in 2013, worth?
Don’t look for it to be in the $19 million a year range as Miami gave defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh in free agency last year.
But Short should be among the top five paid defensive tackles after tying
Aaron Donald and
Geno Atkins this past season for the most sacks among tackles with 11.
If you’re wondering where that might land his yearly average, it will be somewhere between No. 5
Corey Liuget (San Diego) at $10.25 million and Suh.
It likely will come somewhere between Liuget and Tampa Bay’s
Gerald McCoy, ranked No. 3 at $15.8 million a year.
