Peppers Situation UPDATE —Voth chimes in

It's really curiously quiet on the Peppers front right now, now a day into the "legal" tampering period, and even before that. It's kind of fascinating to me that not a single report has come out about Pep other than "he's deciding on his future" from our own reporters. No other teams have had any connection whatsoever to Pep. Not the Pats, Bucs, Raiders, or whoever else was "linked" to him... I wonder if this means that the only thing up in the air is whether he'll play or not and that it is true that he'd only play here if he decides to come back. But he may just be leaning towards retirement coming off a serious surgery... Do you think the lack of chatter completely across the league points towards the likelihood that Pep either retires or stays here? Really interesting situation.

 

UPDATE: Just saw this:

Voth takes a stance that it’s Panthers or retirement. Good to hear. fug the Pats.

If there were truly serious interest from other teams and any kind of mutual interest from Pep's side, that would've gotten out by now. In today's day and age you don't keep any of that under wraps this far into the offseason.

It sounds like it's a decision that goes beyond just money. If that's the case, with all the factors in play right now....he gone.

You can be mad at him if you want, but we basically all but packed his bags for him when he and the rest of the players were handcuffed from protesting last year.

Who knows? You're also assuming that just because news hasn't broke of it that means no other teams have been in contact. That seems a bit optimistic. I doubt very seriously that Peppers hasn't had other teams reach out to him to check on his potential availability and compensation demands. Even if he's only interested in playing for us, I'm sure his agent is fielding those calls to get an idea of what other teams would be willing to offer. Kind of tough to judge the market value of a 38 year old pass rusher coming off of a double digit sack season. Not exactly many comps out there for that type of player.

Didn't say it was to another team.  But you never heard anything about the Jags and Norwell either, so? If the Patriots don't sign him he will retire.  He ain't signing on with Hurney at the helm.  You guys need to accept that.

      I love T-mac but where is the impact from this year's draft?

      Jalon Walker not looking like a bust? That can't be right.

      To be fair. Our GM is the assistent of the worst GM in NFL history.  We pay trillions of dollars on the Oline and cant pass protect or run.  We pay trllions of dollars on the D-dine and cant pass rush.  We cant draft. We are a bad team. With a bad owner and really bad management.

      Game Observations

      Stud: WR Tetairoa McMillan In the midst of all the incompetence and mediocrity, there's one shining hope for the future of this franchise. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team with six catches and 100 receiving yards. He also had an extremely impressive one-handed catch wiped out becaue he couldn't quite stay in-bounds. McMillan is a bit slower, but there are flashes of some Julio Jones in his game. His route running and YAC ability are both far better than they were advertised coming out of the draft.   Or, you know, exactly what anyone who watched enough of his tape would have known.   Honestly, our Arizona board could never understand this knock on him in the pre-draft process, because we all knew it wasn't true.  And sure, we're fans who watched all his games, but you'd think the experts who supposedly watch all the snaps of these type of prospects would have been seeing it too, it was glaringly obvious to us. Seriously, how many times did I say here that he could run every route needed?  How many times did I talk about his surprisingly good run after catch ability for someone his size?  How he wasn't a burner, but he was amazingly smooth for a 6'5" WR? As I've said, only 2 players from Arizona, both football and basketball, have I ever felt they were 1 million percent can't miss stars in the pros.  T-Mac and Gronkowski, that's it.  One is the greatest TE in NFL history, the other is about to take Smitty's mantle as the Panthers WR GOAT when all is said and done.
