If we can't reach a deal with Gross and Tag him, I will lose respect for Gross and how our office runs things. IMHO, it's not about having something lined up for Pep. This is all about Gross. He's the one we want. We can slap the tag on Pep with our eyes closed. This whole issue revolves around Gross. If we can't reach a deal with him we are forced to Tag him, thus letting Pep go.

And now, I'm getting The Fear, too.

This was also after he had huffed on a pint of raw ether....

I just can't imagine that scenario playing out.

Gross' agent said just a few days ago that the team and Gross wasn't even close to agreement on a contract, so do you suggest we let Gross hit the market while still trying to sign him. While franchising Peppers and trading him before hand.

The team has three options right now really.

Give in to gross and gets his deal done now.

Franchise gross and let peppers walk

Franchise peppers and let Gross hit the FA market and hope we can sign him.

If Gross is serious about playing here I can't believe we won't get something done. Since we are willing to franchise him for around 9 million, I can't believe money is the issue. We should be willing to pay him what he wants feeling that in a year or two it will be a bargain. I wonder if maybe Gross doesn't want to commit for more than a few years in the event the CBA isn't renewed.

If we want draft picks for Peppers we will need to franchise him. I expect drawing it out is still a negotiating tool and playing a high stakes game of chicken with Gross to see who will flinch.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
