28 year old 6 yr vet (Car). 6'4" 305lb Tackle.

Jordon Gross is the biggest name on the FA market for the Oline. He has started every game except one since coming into the league in 2003. He missed week 5 this past year due to a concussion. Gross has started and played both LT and RT for Carolina.

The Panthers have some tough decisions this off season. They are 10 million under the 09' 123 million cap. They have Julius Peppers and Jordon Gross as UFA. It may be hard for Carolina to retain both without cuts (probably Jake Delhomme and/or Ken Lucas).

Gross will be looking at a deal in the area of 4-5 years from 50-60 million with 25-30 million in guarantees. Based of the rookie contract of Jake Long last year.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

We should go after him, then we don't have to draft as many OL...we could get a few players at some skill positions in the draft or perhaps a couple linebackers to press the current starters now.

I really like Jordan Gross. In fact, if money were no object, he might be the one player I'd like to acquire via free agency. But with that said, if he's looking for $10+ million a year, which you're correct in assuming, I just don't know that I'm willing to pay that kind of loot.

However, if you're going to drop it on someone, Gross is your guy and I wouldn't necessarily be unhappy that we did it.

Jordan Gross had a better season than Jake Long, but Long is just a rookie and will no doubt develop into a Pro Bowl tackle one day in my opinion.

I'd go after him.

He's a perfect fit for the zone blocking scheme and he's an excellent run blocker. He was a Pro Bowl Selection and I think First Team All-Pro as well. If not first, second for sure I believe. He also gave up just three sacks this year.

I think he'll be on the market too. Carolina is going to franchise Julius Peppers before Gross.
