Another good year by Peppers = Trade for a 1st?

[hepcat]

Do we trade Peppers this offseason for a 1st round pick? I can't stress how stupid it was to trade our 2010 1st rounder...trading a first for a second rounder just isn't smart.

So say Peppers has a big year. We slap the tag on him again. Is Peppers going anywhere this year? I'd say we trade him for a high 1st round pick, maybe even for our own pick back with the 49ers, and draft a QB. Surely if that happens Fox and Hurney will be gone, so why not??

[mmmbeans]

they have no intention of letting peppers go.

Lot of ifs, and a lot of football yet to play.

Peppers most likely wont sign the tender offer again, making it impossible for the front office to trade him.

Hard to make him sign this time around. Last year the team was coming off a 12-4 season...this year...not so much.

JMO.....NO ONE can predict out record this year and NO ONE can predict what the Panthers will do next year with NO #1 draft pick in an un-capped year. It's a bitch having to wait........isn't it!

with his attitude change, improvement in the area of leadership/mentoring, talking to press a little more...plus increased performance, i'd say he'd be a good bit more valuable.

if he keeps positive and doesn't pull the junk he did last offseason i'd say he has a much better chance of getting traded. more teams would be willing to give up a first rounder.

something positive has to happen at some point, doesn't it?

that's why we're speculating.

I can't see any team trading a first for an aging Peppers.

I hope Peppers ends up with 20 sacks, just so some crappy team will go crazy and offer a truckload of picks. Then it'll just hurt a little more when the team has to explain why they declined some team's whole draft in exchange for a guy making $20 million.

if richard seymour can bring a 1st rounder there is no reason that peppers can't.

someone will buy if he is legitimately available.

It's not going to matter when he's not under contract. If we franchise him for 22-23mil... grrrr

I don't think that we are in great need at enough positions to justify trading Peppers. Especially if next year is uncapped.

Why? If we put the tag on him, and he doesn't sign it, then he doesn't play anywhere next year. I think eventually he would sign it, the question is do we want to pay over 20 mil next year for 1 guy, I don't think we can afford that.

Does anyone notice that every time Everett Brown is in the game, he is getting very very close to the QB, if not sacking, making him throw it early, or tackling him after a short gain.
