NFL Notes: Chiefs, Cowboys, Lions & Panthers

Chiefs

Chiefs RB Knile Davis denied previous reports that he had requested a trade out of Kansas City. Davis did, however, say that he’s hoping to remain with the Chiefs, despite the trade rumors that have surfaced in the past few months.

“I hope so, but that’s not up to me,” Davis said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. “This is my team. I’m under contract. I’m here until I’m not.”

Panthers

Panthers DT Kawann Short mentioned that the two parties aren’t in a rush to get a long-term extension in place that would keep him in Carolina for the foreseeable future.

“If it happens, it happens, but we haven’t focused on that,” Short said, via Panthers.com. “I’ve still got a lot I need to do. I’ve put myself in the position, but at the same time, I’m not where I want to be. We’re not rushing the issue.”
