While lots of fans are talking about franchising Peppers and trading him in order to get something .

What about Gross ?

Gross has not signed ,and if Panthers franchise Peppers ,Gross could turn down all offers and walk . With nothing in return.

Gross leaves

Peppers gets Franchised and traded

Now PANTHERS have $$$$$$$ of cap money

Gross may not want to get signed ,

So in theory Panthers could easily lose both

This is actually something to think about. While I too think Gross will be signed, if he isn't and the Panthers find this out early and they need to tag one of the two and trade them who do you tag and trade? IMO you tag and trade Gross. Where I doubt any team will give up 2 1st round picks for Pep I think multiple teams would give up that much for Gross. Propably not the better player but he has more value right now.

Depends on whether the draft/free agent class is deeper in tackles or DEs. My sense is it's the former but I could be wrong.

Being forced to use the franchise tag on Peppers would all but guarantee that Gross gets the contract he wants, or at least close to it.

    • Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face. 
    • There is zero reason to sit him if he is ready to go.  Putting him on a shelf and attempting to protect does him no favors. 
    • Stroud us nit the first QB thus franchise has missed on. He also won't be the last.
