Panthers use tag on Gross

As expected, the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday used their franchise tag on offensive tackle Jordan Gross. That means Gross, unless his agent is able to negotiate a long-term deal, will be locked up for the 2008 season at $7.45 million -- the average salary of the five highest-paid linemen in the NFL last season.
