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.

Zero2Cool (1m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (2m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (2m) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (4m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (7m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (10m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (12m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (12m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (22m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (27m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (30m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (30m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (32m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (42m) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (47m) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (51m) : Packers will get in

beast (51m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (57m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (57m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.
