If we can't reach a deal with Gross and Tag him, I will lose respect for Gross and how our office runs things. IMHO, it's not about having something lined up for Pep. This is all about Gross. He's the one we want. We can slap the tag on Pep with our eyes closed. This whole issue revolves around Gross. If we can't reach a deal with him we are forced to Tag him, thus letting Pep go.

And now, I'm getting The Fear, too.

This was also after he had huffed on a pint of raw ether....

I just can't imagine that scenario playing out.

Gross' agent said just a few days ago that the team and Gross wasn't even close to agreement on a contract, so do you suggest we let Gross hit the market while still trying to sign him. While franchising Peppers and trading him before hand.

The team has three options right now really.

Give in to gross and gets his deal done now.

Franchise gross and let peppers walk

Franchise peppers and let Gross hit the FA market and hope we can sign him.

If Gross is serious about playing here I can't believe we won't get something done. Since we are willing to franchise him for around 9 million, I can't believe money is the issue. We should be willing to pay him what he wants feeling that in a year or two it will be a bargain. I wonder if maybe Gross doesn't want to commit for more than a few years in the event the CBA isn't renewed.

If we want draft picks for Peppers we will need to franchise him. I expect drawing it out is still a negotiating tool and playing a high stakes game of chicken with Gross to see who will flinch.
