The Carolina Panthers have finalized a long-term contract with tackle Jordan Gross.

According to Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald, the deal is done.

Gantt’s source is Gross himself, who said, “We’re done.”

Look for the Panthers’ next action to be the application of the franchise tag to defensive end Julius Peppers, making him the 13th recipient of the restriction this year.

Damn. The Vikings were going to throw a ton of money at him if he hit the market.

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports the Carolina Panthers have placed their franchise tag on DE Julius Peppers.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers placed the franchise tag on Julius Peppers Thursday, setting up a potential nasty showdown with their four-time Pro Bowl defensive end who wants to play elsewhere next season.

At least one team knows how to use their Tag correctly. Peppers was a great player to give the Franchise Tag to, although Steve Smith would've been a god one too
