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.

He gone.

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.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
