NFL.com's Kirwan seems to think that we will..........

From what I've read here this thing is a no-brainer. Tag Peppers. Get what you can for him and move on. Work to sign Gross either before FA or during but make a solid effort. If it doesn't work out then we get a comp pick. Not the best scenario but...... the best of a bad situation. I think we'll all be happy with the final outcome.

The longer this drags on with Gross, it seems it's more about the $ for him. Yea, he said he wants to stay here, but Hurney would have him signed by now if $ wasn't the case.

If it comes down to it, Gross will be tagged before Peppers. And Peppers will walk. If that happens, I lose all respect for Gross.

Granted, I know Pep is gone regardless, but Gross is just screwing the Panthers, and he's trying to give off this "I care about the organization" bullshit that I'm not buying.

let Pep walk

I don't think you can get much for him anyway. Any suitor will nickle and dime you to death.

losing him for nothing is not catastrophic. Keeping him against his will and trying to coax effort out of him is catastrophic.

Don't make this ugly.
