Gross has already said he is either going to retire or re-sign with the Panthers. Regardless, this regime has no interest in bringing in twilight veterans who are well into their 30's, to play key roles. They're always going to go with youth and upside.
milloy, winfield, TO say hi. Granted they might not stick, but idk how you can say they have no interest. Come for cheap and earn a spot and they will give you a chance unless we dont need them, and we will need olineman of some sort even if its just for depth.
Gross is a name ive been thinking about myself. Sure more names will pop up as teams make cap decisions as well.
Tell 'em all Hi back. Milloy had already been here a year before Carroll and Schneider arrived. TO was nothing more than camp fodder when the Hawks were desperate for warm/healthy bodies at the WR position. And Winfield was signed for a specific role (nickel slot corner) after grading out as PFF's #1 overall CB in 2012. So yes, I can easily say that Pete and John have no interest in signing 33 year old vets with highly diminished skills for starting roles because there's zero precedent for them having done so, and because they've made it clear time and again that their personnel philosophy is to build through the draft, develop from within, and prioritize youth and upside.
Again, Gross has already said he is either going to retire or re-sign with the Panthers, so this whole debate is moot anyway.
