"No Progress Towards New Contract with Gross"

[Kurb]

I learned with Moose, you can't blame guys for wanting to get paid.

A NFL career is over in an instant. Get all you can, and I'm cool with that so long as they play hard

If Hurney screws this up he should be gone no questions asked...we have to have Gross. You can't just let your two best linemen walk when your goal is to "win in the trenches." That is absolute BS...He better get something done after giving Gamble a contract worth 50 million bucks...

I'm honestly gettin a little worried as well. Who knows what agents were whispering to him at the Pro Bowl.

I'm worried that Hurney has laid out the fat offer, but that Gross is going to look elsewhere.

If the Panthers just aren't giving out the money, they need to be slapped. Give the damn man his money and sign him for 3 or more years. Offensive linemen like him just don't come around often.

Gross is just turning the screws. This is a high-stakes poker game and he has all of the cards in his hand, knowing that the Panthers must franchise Peppers. He is in the wait and see mode until the Pep situation plays out.

If that is the case, that's even more worrying, considering that the Panthers most likely want to get Gross' deal done before they use the franchise tag on Peppers.

We had a big three to keep.

He signed one, who wanted to stay.

He is going to lose one that doesn't

He is trying to keep the one who will stay if he is paid.

Short of putting a gun to Gross's head what exactly do you want the guy to do ?

If anything Hurney is an underrated GM.

Fox's football philosophy is this: Run the ball and stop the run. If this deal with Gross doesn't get done that will hurt our running game a lot. I still have faith they will get this done. Sigh....

i won't be that upset if gross leaves.

[panthers55]

I wonder if Hurney wants Gross at any price? Bottom line is that if he didn't care about the price or felt he had to sign him no matter what it would already have been done. I expect we will franchise Peppers no matter what because we can get good picks for him. If we sign Gross then it will be because we really want him. If we don't do everything to sign him and we don't franchise him we may want him if the price is right but not at all costs. The next 10 days should be very interesting.

ok ... then who do you want to protect Jake's blind side?

[jspeight49er]

can't blame the guy for waiting, ESPN has him listed as one of the top five offensive free agents. i can't remember who, but one of them said he would have the biggest impact out of any of them

[PanthersFanNY]

I understand there is still time, but what worries me is that there hasn't been any progress.

[jspeight49er]

either gross or peppers is gonna walk out of carolina for nothing, this is sickening

[fitty76]

If they lose Peppers fine, they CAN NOT afford to lose Gross too.
