2009 Free Agents

[Bill B]

I see a lot of people wanting the Skins to sign Jordan Gross but wouldn't the Panthers:

1.) Try and resign him to a long term contract before he hits the open market?

2.) If the Pantehrs can't agree to a contract extension wouldn't they just use the Franchise Tag on him?

Maybe because this is Julius Peppers contract year also.

I'm sure they can sign them both since the salary cap will go to $123 million.

No, this isn't Vinny or Danny. Those guys don't listen or post. He he he
My only thoughts on free agency are this: Don't blow a lot of money and get guys that can start. Cross and Lechler can start. Yeah Cassel is a far shot. My point was he can start, can Colt?
I like B Mitch's man up policy. If you can't practice you can't play. If Campbell or Portis go down who's up? I hear Charlie Batch is available? He's better than Colt and has a lot of experience. He's got a few more years in the tank then TC and can play until Colt's ready if JC should get hurt. Does he play the WCO? No, but neither can half of this team or we'd be in the play-offs.

They franchised him last year and he has said he wants to try the open market.

Gross is the only FA pickup I'd want.

Rypper - unless they agreed in the one year contract extension that the Panthers would not place the franchise tag on him this year I thought the Panthers have this option. does anyone know if this was a stipulation in the one year extension Gross signed ladt year?
