you left out the last sentence of the rotoworld entry...

according to the entry before this one, the panthers haven't even bothered to talk to peppers.

imo, it looks like they would let peppers walk before losing gross.

Of course they would've. Peppers didn't want to be here. That made Gross Priority number one.

Guys, I don't know if you realize just how cheap this is for Gross. He could have made a *lot* more on the open market.

I know he's good friends with Jake, so I guess this should sadly put to rest any lingering doubts anyone might have had on whether Jake would be back next season.

He could have easily gotten 10 or 11 million a season. I'm happy, Gross indeed did give Carolina a discount and a pretty good one.

9 million per year is not cheap. Other than the Long contract which was way out of line with what he was worth, Gorss is going to be one of the highest paid linemen in the game. Gross would make 8.75 million as a franchised player and he would have no guarantee for any more money down the road. With this contract he will likely make at least 20 milion guaranteed and have the potential for another 40 million or so. That is a ton of money especially for a player who only this year was a pro-bowler. Up to now he was a good player but not worthy of top 5 money.

I somewhat agree but who out there is better? Is there a stud LT in the 2nd round? What stud F.A. LT we could get cheaper? Who right now on our team is better then Gross?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
