Rumor: Eagles could try for Gross

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.

      Rookie Mini Camp

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
