Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross, who has the most career starts in team history, has been asked to restructure his contract to help the Panthers clear salary cap space, two league sources said Saturday, according to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer. Gross, 32, has a cap number this year of $11.7 million. Only Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson’s is higher at $13 million. Gross said he wants the Panthers to be successful, but stopped short of saying he would agree to a reduced salary. “There’s two sides to football – the football side and the business side. In the offseason, you deal with the business side,†Gross said Saturday in a phone interview. “Right now the Panthers and I are trying to work out the best solution to help this team move forward.†Source: The Redzone
