"I came right back and got right into the groove of things, met the coaches," said Peppers. "And it went pretty smooth. There haven’t been many bumps at all.”

Peppers said he's excited about playing in the new scheme being installed by first-year defensive coordinator Ron Meeks.

"After a couple of more practices and a couple more weeks of playing, we should get some of the mistakes that were made tonight cleaned up and hopefully be a pretty good defense," he said.

Peppers said he was welcomed back by his teammates.

"I think everybody has contract situations or whatever the case may be," he said. "It has nothing to do with any personal relationships on the team or the football side of it."

This shows that Pep had a change of heart once we got a new DC and changed our philosophy on defense. Pep was tired of Turdo's bullsh*t and the way he was being used.

No it shows it was all about the money. The last two lines explaines the whole deal.

I think since being a vocal leader was one of the cards played against him/hurney in possible trade scenarios explored or not, that we may be hearing a lot more out of ol' pep this season. If so, that may mean he still wants out.

I am going to be watching him very closely to see if he is molding himself into trade form off the field as well as on it.

If it were all about money why didn't he sign that deal after his worst year that would have made him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL?

I will never think it was all about money with him.

It had nothing to do with the money. We had the money to offer and we were willing to offer it to him, so it wasn't about the money at all.

I truly think he just wanted a change of scenery. But now that he's back on the team he has to say all the right things. The business part of the game has to be separate from than game itself.

No it doesn't. Pep is just saying what he is suppose to. He could have been tired of Trgo....it could be Fox....it could be the 4-3....it could just be NC. Pep is simply a high character guy. Shoot, talk to some legit Indy fans and get their opinion on Meeks.....he isn't an improvement coming to Carolina. Lateral move at best. Pep is here for a year and will give it his all.....that is all we know imo.

NOT a money thing. If it was a money thing he would have taken the early offer or never narrowed his expectations trade wise to such a small grouping.

He wanted change and effected it through Hurney all while guaranteeing some do-re-me in the process.

I think it played beautifully for him and we will see if now it plays beautifully for us. For now all signs point to ...it's possible.

Me either.

Money is a part of it, but not nearly as big as some may think it.

Is it scheme....or just really wanting to get out of the state that he has been in since birth....or something else...

we may never find out.

It's about his relationship with the head coach.

I guess time will tell

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
