Hole at LT

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd be surprised if he came back. I think he almost retired last year and it's clear retirement is weighing heavy on his mind.

 

I can see him retiring before last season.  Coach was on the hot seat, lots of question marks on the roster, unsure of the direction of the new GM etc.  We seem much more stable as an organization now than we were a year ago.

^ I thought the same. But Jordan has a beautiful family and looks forward to life after football.

If wrong, I will gladly take a perma ban, because this news sucks. Unfortunately it is what it is.

:(

When Voth put him retiring at 90% I was pretty positive he was gone. I thought that to begin with, just having reaffirmed by someone with sources inside the team made it sink in.

honestly, I can see us upgrading LT and let Gross finish out his career at RT.

If so we are most likely going to double dip at OT in this draft.

If not this year than the next, tackle needs to be addressed

If true I wonder if we have interest in trying to bring back Wharton to play LT again.

[KillerKat]

If Gross retires, we need to make a run at Branden Albert.

^ Agree. Protecting the GOAT with 2nd and 3rd round rookies on both sides is unacceptable, as good as they may be.

[Khaki Lackey]

But Voth said 98% chance he retires!!! I'm sure that's a precise figure that he came up with using science and blackboards and sh!t.

Not sure about the percentage, but Voth has ties to the team and does have sources.

Apparently Gettleman, and Rivera tell Bill Voth everything.

If gross retires, we're fuged.
