Do you still trade peppers?

[Butterflyj30]

I hope Pep just signs a long term deal with Carolina

[Brooklyn Bully]

He's good as gone. He's getting older, slapping the franchise on him again would cost too much money, and trying to work out a long term deal will only do what it did last season...tie up money, keeping us from signing some help.

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.

You do realise he has a broken hand which is why he hasn't played much the past 2 games do you? It makes it hard to push away o-lineman and it's hard to get into your own rythm when you're only playing every now and then.

then who would you replace him with??because Brayton contract is up.and E.brown is not ready

[Mesmer]

He's basically gone... via free agency that is

Also, I love the argument where the game-breaking top tier player needs 10 other good players around him to do anything.

What does that make him? Mediocre that's what.

[CatfanMO]

Seeing how are defense played.How are run defense looked.Do you trade him or not?

Should be seeing how are defenses played.....or you could change the are usage to ours.

I think Pep is gonna sign a new contract here. I just have that feeling like somethin has clicked with him and his teamates and that he may want to be in Charlotte. It seems like he is showing a lot of leadership and actually gives a poo about whats going on now so I want to keep Pep if we lose him we will never find anything else like him in the next few years.

That just goes to show you we'll be rebuilding probably. Johnson, Brown (ready or not), Maake, Thomas/Lewis. There's your front four. Maybe draft and end, who knows. Pep takes up too much money. He's not worth it anymore.

[Baschski]

Unless he agrees to sign a long-term contract for dirt cheap, let him go. We'll be just fine with the $20 Mil we'll save.

Peppers has had good games against Philly, Washington, Tampa, Buffalo, Atlanta (the 2nd time) and Arizona. Before the bye, he couldnt follow up his good performance in the Philly game against Atlanta and Dallas, but he's been good ever since the bye. He couldn't play much the past 2 games cause of his hand and, as i stated above, it makes it hard to get away from double teams with a broken hand. Even Sunday against Atlanta he was still pressuring Ryan with the little play time he got. So this fallacy of him playing good every other game is false.

[MaineManPanther]

If Peppers goes this D line will be signaftly worse off. I like johnson and brown. But you need one great player on the line to double team. Thats part of the reason Johnson and brown as had sucsess.

[scpanther22]

Kampman will be out there..but the packers prob will want a pick for him.

[PantherDude]

I would trade Peppers if we can get some good deals like the Chiefs got when they traded Jared Allen: get maybe like 2 1st round picks if one team has that & will give it to us. Get a good FA (either DE or a QB, etc.) from the same team as well if possible.

[Tank]

Yes.
