Gross restructured

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Looks like we're back in business.

[NanceUSMC]

looks like we're saving close to 3 mil, on the flip side his deal is voidable next year. OL here we come!

Converting the money to bonus allows us to spread it out over more years but if the contract were to be voided, or Gross cut then the balance would be due immediately... this effectively guarantees that Gross is on the team another two seasons while at the same time putting off his cap issues until 2015...

But yes for now this is huge...

So he doesn't have a contract for 2014?

[IamSoClutch]

so he's a free agent after this year?

The Panthers pick up $6.8M of cap room with Jordan Gross' renegotiated contract.

Thinking Tackle is the pick.

Playing like they did Gross in 03.

Jordan plays Left Tackle and Rookie plays RT in 2013.

2013 2nd Year Tackle moves to Left Tackle and Jordan retires, signs cheaply, or moves on.

@NickMensio That's true. The Panthers will have a $5.6M cap charge in '14 for Jordan Gross when his contract voids.

6.8M of cap space. We could sign a couple solid free agents.

Does anyone find it strange it took this long or was there a purpose behind it?
