So what day this week does peppers get the tag?

[Mr. Scot]

Pep walks, Gross gets taged.

mark it down.

Gantt thinks that's what they ought to do: Team's Focus should be on Gross

I agree it's a definite possibility. I don't agree that's what they should do.

[Johnny Rockets]

I just hope all this happens soon so I know which one the Eagles are going to get. Personally I hope it is Gross.

[carolinarolls]

Let them both go

make a statement

Exactly. If Gross doesn't sign a long term deal, he will get the tag. There are no other options.

You don't let your LT walk just cause you want something in trade for a player who doesn't want to be here. That's just stupid.

Even if we were to tag Pep, and get something for him, that something would then have to be spent on replacing Gross, a probowl LT. Good luck with that.

[Mr. Scot]

make a statement

That'd be a pretty clear statement, something along the lines of, "I would like to be fired."

This. Unfortunately.

As I have said before, Hurney usually waits until the last minute on these deals. If it is 3:00 Thursday afternoon and still no news, I will get concerned. But not now.

Lets say we can get a 1st and a 3rd round pick for Peppers... Good

So we have to decide if we want

1+3 draft pick and let Gross walk ( its a strong OT class this year )

or

Let Peppers walk and have Gross one a one year contract ( which is much more than the rookie we could draft ) Do we do this it will mean we for to offseasons in a row could not agree with Gross.. So why should we assume we can get a deal next yearr? There is no cap and some teams are gonna go crazy next offseason.

I would much rather have Gross on this team. BUT to throw a 1+3 pick out the window for Gross on a one year contract..? Nahh no thanks..

Gross on a long term deal is more valuable than a 1+3 but not Gross on a one year contract.

Tagging peppers is just going to get you some draft picks that might be good players might not be good players. (the risk of the draft) Tagging gross gives you a lot of extra time to work out that long term deal. Gross wouldn't necessarily be in a one year deal, the tag would give us extra time to make sure that doesn't happen. Last year's deal is gone, he's an all pro LT, thats money right there. Tagging Peppers doesn't really get us anything if were losing Gross as well. Its basically giving up a 3rd round for peppers. Is that what peppers is worth??? I think not.

Unfortunately in this scenario, if things go down this way - Gross is hurting the team. I understand about looking out for yourself and all.

If Gross is tagged and Pep walks then Gross cost the Panthers at least two draft picks. If I were Gross and was gonna end up on the Panthers anyway I would rather they have two more picks (escp if one is 1st rounder) Again, Gross can be betting the Panthers just tag Pep.

Come on Jordan and Hurney, work out a deal already!!

[carpanfan96]

I'm still for the panthers just giving in Gross' contract demands, as long as they aren't ridiculous.

Awsome. So we lose any pass rush we have and can't replace it with anything. So we keep the franchise LT which means nothing because we will be playing behind most games and forced to pass, not run which is what we are built to do.

So you are predicting that without a first round pick, from a peppers trade, that we won't be able to improve our pass rush. You sir, are awesome! :rant:

Seriously, stop with the doom and gloom crap. The off-season has barely begun.
