Panthers want Gross to take a pay cut

[TheRumGone]

We shall see. That is going to be a bit difficult with 2 years remaining unless they give him an extension.

With a new GM in place like Gettleman I really feel Gross has no leverage with a "who are you gonna replace me with?" Gettleman has repeatedly talked about getting the Cap ready for the future. I doubt it ever comes to a cut for Gross, but I don't think he has leverage here. What other team is gonna pay him that much money if he is cut?

And replace him with who?

I use that money on Jake Long, Clady, Andre Smith or a vet Eric Winston. Or better yet, get one in the draft.

That's the answer.

[BigSyke]

you aint getting clady

[Ja Rhule]

We will also cut Williams June 1st... so that's another $4m. So really we $8 under cap.

[PantherPhann89]

I think that Gross will work with the team to get further under the cap.

All but one of those are right tackles.

Long, Clady, and Winston (Houston) are LTs if I'm correct. Andre is a RT.

Never said we were

bring back Otah lolz

There is no way we get Clady, or Long and Winston is a RT recently released from the Chiefs, he also played RT in Houston too. Duane Brown has been the Texans LT for a while now.....

You guys don't understand that quality LT's are going to demand the same, if not more than what Gross is already making.

They're going to demand the same as what Gross is making now. Why keep paying an aging vet? If he won't take a pay cut, I'd gladly cut him in favor of someone else. Through FA or the draft.

Can Gross get what he is "already making" anywhere else but here?

Take a cut or take a hike.

We love ya, appreciate all you have done/do, hope you retire a Panther, hope you get a ring here, but take a cut or take a hike.

Much like when Gross signed his big contract, this will come down to the last second before it gets done.
