Panthers LT Jordan Gross has yet to decide if this season will be his last, but did say that he will only play for Carolina in 2014.
Gross, 33, restructured his contract in March, essentially voiding the final three years of his deal. He'll be a free agent on the fifth day of the 2014 league year. "A year later is another year less appealing to go somewhere else," Gross said. "I'm not worried about the team having leverage on me if I say I'm only playing here. I'm only going to play here." He was Pro Football Focus' No. 14 left tackle last season, and he's entering his 11th year with Carolina. Aug 1 - 2:53 PM

Panthers LT Jordan Gross has restructured his contract.

Gross was scheduled to make $8.7M this season, an untenable number for the cap-strapped Panthers. He'll now earn $5.5M, and will be able to void his 2014 contract on Feb. 7 of next year. Gross, now entering his age-33 season, was ProFootballFocus' No. 14 left tackle last season.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

The Panthers have asked LT Jordan Gross to restructure his contract.

The report indicates Carolina wants Gross to take a pay cut, as opposed to converting salary into a bonus. Gross' 2013 cap number is $11.7 million, and the Panthers are currently $4 million under the cap. "The Panthers and I are trying to work out the best solution to help this team move forward," Gross said Saturday.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Panthers LT Jordan Gross recently underwent surgery to have bone spurs removed from his ankle.

Coach Ron Rivera called it a successful clean-out. Gross started all 16 games in 2012, and he's missed just one game over the last three seasons. Pro Football Focus graded him out as a top-20 tackle in 2012. Gross should be ready for training camp.

The Charlotte Observer suggests the Panthers could approach LT Jordan Gross about restructuring his contract.

Gross has two years left on a six-year deal, and he's currently due an $8.7 million base salary. Over the cap at the moment, Carolina could clear $6.7 million by cutting Gross. That doesn't appear to be an option, though, as he's a key cog on the Panthers' offensive line. An extension is another way Carolina could make Gross' contract more salary-cap friendly.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Panthers declared LT Jordan Gross, QB Jimmy Clausen, CB Brandon Hogan, LB Jason Phillips, WR Darvin Adams, LB Kion Wilson, and DE Eric Norwood inactive for Week 14 against the Falcons.

One of the league's premier blindside protectors, Gross missed practice all week with an ankle injury. Travelle Wharton will kick outside to left tackle with Mackenzy Bernadeau filling in at left guard. Cam Newton is a top-five fantasy play regardless.

Panthers LT Jordan Gross (broken tibia) has resumed participation in team drills.

Gross is progressing nicely from that gruesome broken leg he suffered in Week 10 of last season. When healthy, he's capable of being the Panthers' best pass protector on the offensive line.

Panthers LT Jordan Gross (broken tibia) has begun practicing at OTAs.

Gross' injury occurred in Week 10 last season, so he's had plenty of time to recover. The 30-year-old was credited with six sacks allowed in ten 2009 starts. He'll need to be more effective for Carolina's passing game to improve.

Panthers LT Jordan Gross (broken tibia) fully expects to be ready for training camp.

Gross is doing some running on the side, but he's unlikely to practice until later this summer. RT Jeff Otah (meniscus) should also be fully healthy for training camp, so the Panthers offenisve line will be at full capacity in 2010.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Panthers LT Jordan Gross revealed that he actually broke his tibia and fibula in his right leg.

It was originally thought that Gross broke his ankle, but that joint was not damaged. He has screws and plates holding his leg together, but this development shouldn't affect Gross' timetable for return. The Panthers' best offensive lineman should still be fine for next season's training camp.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Panthers placed LT Jordan Gross on injured reserve with a broken right ankle, ending his season.

Practice squad WR Charly Martin was activated to take Gross' place. The Panthers signed Gross to a $60M extension through 2014, so he'll certainly be back at his $4.5 million salary for 2010. Line play was not the reason for Carolina's slow start -- it was awful run defense and terrible decision making at quarterback. Gross suffered a clean ankle break and had surgery immediately, so the 29-year-old figures to be 100% well before '10 camp.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Panthers LT Jordan Gross had ankle surgery last night and is expected to land on inured reserve today.

It's another devastating blow to the Panthers, who lost linebacker Thomas Davis for the season last week. Gross was among their most reliable players and although Travelle Wharton has experience at left tackle, it's an obvious downgrade.

Jordan Gross - T - Panthers

Updating a previous item, Panthers LT Jordan Gross was diagnosed with a broken right ankle and will likely miss the remainder of the season.

Guard Mackenzy Bernadeau came on in the second half, with LG Travelle Wharton kicking to Jake Delhomme's blind side. The 4-5 Panthers aren't out of the Wild Card picture, but the loss of their Pro Bowl left tackle is huge. Whlie Carolina's offense is built from the inside out, they lack quality depth at tackle. The Panthers' skill players should all be downgraded.
