While lots of fans are talking about franchising Peppers and trading him in order to get something .

What about Gross ?

Gross has not signed ,and if Panthers franchise Peppers ,Gross could turn down all offers and walk . With nothing in return.

Gross leaves

Peppers gets Franchised and traded

Now PANTHERS have $$$$$$$ of cap money

Gross may not want to get signed ,

So in theory Panthers could easily lose both

This is actually something to think about. While I too think Gross will be signed, if he isn't and the Panthers find this out early and they need to tag one of the two and trade them who do you tag and trade? IMO you tag and trade Gross. Where I doubt any team will give up 2 1st round picks for Pep I think multiple teams would give up that much for Gross. Propably not the better player but he has more value right now.

Depends on whether the draft/free agent class is deeper in tackles or DEs. My sense is it's the former but I could be wrong.

Being forced to use the franchise tag on Peppers would all but guarantee that Gross gets the contract he wants, or at least close to it.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
