Rumor: Eagles could try for Gross


Mr. Scot

Linked from Ben Maller's page: Rebuilding of Eagles Begins

The Eagles could address their tackle situation in a variety of ways. They could re-sign one or both of their tackles. They could make a pitch for Carolina's Jordan Gross, who, at 28, will be the most valuable free-agent tackle if the Panthers don't give him the franchise tag. They could slide Todd Herremans or Shawn Andrews to one of the tackle spots. They could use one of their two first-round draft picks on a tackle.

Looks like pure speculation to me.

Yet the days tick by and we hear nothing about contracts. The coaches that remain are off to the senior bowl. The coaches themselves have no contracts. There is simply far too much to be done at the moment and I can see this coming dangerously close to Gross hitting the market. Let's be honest, with the Peppers situation Gross' agent is going to hard ball us completely and is probably telling Gross to not sign anything. Especially after them not getting a deal last year AND being moved all over the place.

Speculators are only good for driving up the price of oil.

ditto, So far he's been speculated to have everyone from the Rams to the Eagles, Redskins and every team that's looking for a anchor LT in the NFL, this is going to happen until we sign him, don't expect anything until next week.

the Small details were that the Panthers probably wanted to back load the Contract and he didn't, which would make sense to me, with how the NFL is I would want as much money up front as I could get, remember Moose lost $10 million in a roster bonus because his contract was back loaded, and that was the reason he left he still had another year on his contract but the Panthers decided to release him before he got the $10 million he was owed and we all know how that turned out.

No contracts will be finalized this week because of the senior bowl practices. Now is the time to rub elbows with agents and make progress through talking only. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until the final week of Feb. (just before free agency begins) before something gets finalized, or hits a stalemate which I really fear might happen.

See, I would classify that as "money issues" not small details. And Hurney actually has a history of front loading contracts not back loading them (Moose's contract didn't come from Hurney I don't think).

I think the small details could have more to do with personal appearenses or something similar to that.

My point being that if money wasn't the issue, and remember teams can spread gaurtee money throughout the contract, then I think Gross truely wants to stay in Carolina. That will be a make a big difference in him staying or leaving. I'm sure his asking price went up due to this past season and the Peppers situation but considering that the Panthers offered him a contract last year with full intention of signing Peppers to a rather large contract, the cap space should be there to re-sign Gross.

    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
