This.

According to Sirius NFL radio, Carolina says they will franchise tag him. Problem is, they are only 11mil under the cap. If they tag him, they would have to cut some big salaries, plus, they would lose Gross. Looks like a lose lose situation for the Panthers.

Won't happen. Feel free to dream though.
well jesus christ our pass rush was so bad last year a team with Brady, Moss, and AP wouldn't have won more than 2 games. what if our offense takes even bigger strides next year, becomes one of the best in the league, we know how good our secondary is, we get better against the run, make the playoffs, but lose in the first round because we can't sniff the qb? Or maybe don't make the playoffs because of no pass rush..you can make big strides in one off season in the NFL..I say grab him

Randy Moss was a notable exception although he came at a bargain basement price.

I'd sat adalius Thomas and Roosevelt colvin, when they were signed, were among the hottest free agents those years. So he has done it.

Whoever spends the money, it will be worth it. Peppers is am awesome athlete. I can't say I blame him for wanting to leave Charlotte, it absolutely sucks as a first rate sports town.

no offense, but EVERY FREE AGENT brought up around here will generate some kind of negative response like this.

EVERY SINGLE ONE

he had 10.5 sacks in 05 and then 13 sacks in 06. last year was an anomaly because of an injury and then 14.5 this season.

so you're saying 10.5 to 13 is a decline? :spock: and 13 to 14.5 is just a contract year bump? :spock:

Hey Gross is another one we should perhaps seriously look at.

I seriously doubt any team out there is going to want to put a guy who's 6'7 280lbs at OLB.
Just about every team today, plays some form of hybred 3-4. Giants usually call it against top rbs. they don't use it all the time.

Here's something very interesting. The Steelers might switch to a 4-3. Tomlin came up coaching the 4-3 scheme. His defensive scheme won him a ring. Then, when Tomlin moved to the Vikings, in no time, the defense was number one against the run. Lebeau (sp) defensive coordinator for the Steelers is a 3-4 guy.

Right before the 2008 draft, Tomlin said that he wants to draft smaller and faster defensive linemen. It makes a lot of sense, the Steelers lose too many games against strong 4-3 teams. Guess this years draft will provide the answer.
