I would def bring him back for one more year. 

that is emotion. 

We need to improve our DL.  We need new edge rushers.   All Peppers is wanting is that 0.5 sacks. 

[Shocker]

Would do it for 1 more year.  It’s not like he is super expensive at this point.

Whats going on with Marquis Haynes?

He needs to gain weight and strength before getting significant playing time. 

[Butterflyj30]

They should give him 1 more year as a backup fill in player

Pep is cool, but he's an old head. Vet min, or a starter level coaching job!

On the practice days when he was 'resting' he still was out there on the field coaching. Giving it 100%, not really taking any days off. Lol, his "old head" may be worth more to us than what he can do on the field next year.

We don't have a TOP DE yet these fools continually talk about a guy who is still a force hanging it up because they're fantasy football Kings.

This is the real world! Listen, WE DON'T HAVE A PASS RUSH! DE is a premium NFL position, not easily replaced or upgraded without major coin, MAJOR coin.

I have a feeling he wants to come back but to a team like the patriots etc

Nah he could’ve done that instead of coming back to Carolina, and he’s made it pretty clear that he doesn’t care about the records he’s closing in on. 

He gets paid to just come out for a couple of plays and redeem himself with the fans. It’s a nice gig and special treatment he wouldn’t get elsewhere. I think an easy check and retiring here with good will beats grueling it out somewhere else for the chance at a ring at this stage of his career.

I’d love for him to stay on as depth as long as he’s cheap and able. Would have been a great role for Steve Smith too if dude wasn’t such a hothead.

I wonder if Pep has any coaching aspirations.  Maybe he goes somewhere for a year and comes back in 2020 to coach the DEs or something?

Maybe. Maybe not. He may be just another undersized lineman that Hurney for some reason loves to draft.

This. If we pay our $1M/sack again next year, who cares? Nobody else is stepping up, the draft is unpredictable, and he doesn't play every down anyhow. He clearly did not have his usual mojo later in the season, but I still saw a lot of blocking passes, sniffing out screens, and setting the edge on a plays where the less experienced or disciplined players were just racing up the field trying to get the sack or getting caught chasing plays, or, you know, just falling over. As long as he's keeping it casual, and we hvae no other options, this is a no-brainer.

His wife gave him the green light...so...I'd say he is back.

[rippadonn]

Imagine having Pep & Clowney!? That may be better than the Pep, Rucker combo or the Hardy, Johnson era. People think DEs are a plenty and it's just not the case. To have two guys who dominated straight out of the box in the NFL human unicorns. I'd take two more years if that guy would give it.

Me and Nails would try and track down Greg because Pep and a training camp honed Hardy back with Washington could be the cheaper more sound choice for our present day personnel. Just football folks.

If I was Pep, and I was looking at who the GM is, I wouldnt be thinking about hanging up the cleats either.  $$$
