Any possible way that we keep Peppers, Gross, AND Gamble?

I'm thinking none. We'll break the bank for Peppers and say goodbye to Gross and Gamble.

We could, if they all want to stay.

I think the FO will let Gamble walk since they already have Marshall to step in. Peppers will stay and it would cost as much or more to replace Gross in free agency and Fox is not going to let a 2nd round draft pick start at LT next year. Heck he wouldn't even consider working out Otah at LT in camp this even though we all knew Gross would have been more effective staying at RT.

Peppers and Gross alone are hitting our cap for 23 million so it could be possible to extend all three and backload the contracts to make it affordable. But damn, that would put us a big hole 3-4 years from now. Of course if the NFL can not get a new CBA done and we go uncapped in two years, locking those three in long term would be a huge deal.

Yeah, its all on them...if they really want to stay they may take a slight pay cut. If not i see us keeping 2 out of 3 and letting Gross walk.

Anything is possible

Is it possible? Yea its possible.

Is it probable? Most likely not.

Gamble is an All-Pro CB and we're a defensive minded team, so Peppers and Gamble will stay. Gross will want LT money and he really hasn't performed at a high level consistently, I think Otah will turn into our LT and Bridges will be our RT.

If u base it off performance, Gamble is most deserving of a new deal...he's been the most consistent of the three and he's making plays.

This is probably the most unlikely scenario, but I sort of hope we franchise then trade Pep to Oakland. We could surely rape Al Davis for a first rounder and a few second rounders this year and the next. We could just send ole Al the tape of the game Peppers had against Oakland a few weeks back.

This is something I've been discussing with my brother, who is a Panther's fan. I don't see how you will be able to keep all 3; props to your front office if you do though.

I would gladly take ANY of the 3 on the Falcons.

Based on this seasons performance, Gross is the most likely canidate to leave after this season. I know Peppers has played pretty well and Gamble is having a career year. I don't think Gross is as good as everyone thinks he is, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want him as the franchise left tackle either.
