:nonod: How are we going to trade him when he only signed a one year contract. I wheather not resign him to another large 1 year contract. He ain't worth the risk. We need to use the money else where on the team. This team has other needs to address. Like resigning Dwill and TD gettting some young beef up guys for the DT postions and we really need some better WRs to help out smith and most of all find us a freaking Qb who can throw like a brady are manny. Peppers has slowed down and got fatter in the past 2 years and he is turing 32 next year. It is time for people stop kissing peppers ass and let him go. Peppers is just not worth it. Time to move on and find a new front four. Peppers is the last remaining orginal front 4 from the SB year. But is then and this now. Time to move on without him.:nonod:

if we could use the money next year to improve on the DLine as a whole, no, let him go. one great defensive can't do much when the rest of the line sucks. and the defensive line's work is all for naught anyway if the quarterback can't complete a pass.

somebody has to make the money...so il give it to him.when he is not on the field the team looks like boys going against men.(he did too a couple times against long but got doubled some too)
Ha Jared allen of the Vikings get double team aswell but he always manges to get sacks and constant pressure on the QB all the time. Pepper is turning 32 this coming year and is not worth risking 20 plus million on him. Hell Peppers can't even get a second string QB and agaist a oline that has more injuries then our oline has. that shows you that peppers no longer can preform at a high level. The only time he got his sacks this season was mainly from crappy teams like the bucs and skins. And he caught the cards on a off day. besides that every other game this season peppers seems to disappear and get man handle by other teams oline most of the time. Is that how blind some fans are. Peppers has shown this season that he can not produce agaist good teams one bit. So why would you risky 20 million plus on a guy is getting old and can no longer produce at a high level like he use to. :mad:

well, when Pep was healthy....Davis was in and healthy...and the DT problem was fixed w/ Hollis and Tank....the run defense was looking good. Pep never gets enough credit....injury has hurt the D recently. All this team needs is a coach, QB and Wr.

Jared Allen has other playmakers around him helping him to succeed - Peppers does not.

Nah, you let him go in the offseason. We will need it to take the cap hit of cutting Jake.
Well that ain't the point. If the league goes into a uncap year. We should have more then enough money buy jake out if we get a new GM and coach is willing to do that. We still have a months before we know if fox will get canned. At this point I hope he does.

I seriously doubt we will be willing to pay Peppers 20 million for one season, so if he won't sign with us he will be gone.

If Peppers is any kind of a man, he will agree to a sign-and-trade deal so we can get some kind of compensation for him. The contract could stipulate that he would have to give final approval on any trade we work out so he could still control where he ends up. We offered to make this guy the richest defensive player in the history of the NFL after the worst season of his career, it's time for him to do right by us.

Well let's hope for an uncap year. If we don't, then we're stuck. Honestly, I would rather we use that money to resign Marshall, T.Davis, and extend D.Will if possible.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
