1. Right - hes expected to get an average of 9M/year.... no thanks.
2. If we signed him, he would be our LT right away and Samuels would move to RT.
3. PFT reported yesterday that the Panthers are close to signing Gross to an extension, so fortunately, we wont have to worry about it.
Gross is too old and will want too much money. we need to use FA to fill our other needs and fill our need at OT with our first pick in the draft.
