The Panthers have reportedly made "significant progress" with free agent Jordan Gross

Well, once Gross signs his contract, then we Franchise tag Gross and still Transition tag Peppers!

It's still a Win/Win situation!

lmao sarcasm is great.

nah we can only use either a franchise or a transition tag. so pretty much we can only tag one of them.

[Jangler]

I'm so sick of sarcasm.

If we can get Gross to sign his contract tomorrow, then we Transition tag Peppers tomorrow, and we can Franchise tag Gross on Thursday. Still within the deadline!

Beware of the ides of February. Sarcasm rules!

We could then trade Peppers for a 3rd round pick and trade Gross for a 4th round pick!

Win/Win situation!!!!

as for the thread's title. Gantt's posted about it in his blog. League sources have confirmed that major ground was covered today in talks between Gross and the Panthers. He talks about NFL.com reporting, but sources have confirmed the story.

No, no, no. If we both Franchise and Transition Peppers we'll get twice as many draft picks for him.

No, no, no. If we both Franchise and Transition Peppers we'll get twice as many draft picks for him.

But if we use both tags on Peppers after Gross signs his new contract, we take a chance of loosing Gross in Free Agency!!

[donkeyjaws]

I say we franchise the 2nd round pick we get for Peppers after we sign Gross and trade him for Peppers.

[Highlandfire]
