Another reason for the Carolina Panthers furious effort to sign offensive tackle Jordan Gross to a new contract this week has been revealed by NFL.com's Adam Schefter: with Gross locked into a new contract, the team can use the franchise tag on Julius Peppers, thus ensuring themselves of getting some compensation back in a trade.

And...

Tag, you're it, Karlos

Adam Schefter of NFL.com reports that the Arizona Cardinals are expected to use their franchise tag on linebacker Karlos Dansby, and the announcement might come as early as Wednesday.

Well, three possible big free agents are going to be most likely off the market. So don't waste your breath talking about them.
