Why and how the Panthers should draft Ndamukong Suh

You people realize that Julius Peppers is NO LONGER UNDER CONTRACT after this season. He is a free agent and unless someone is willing to pay him his contract tender (20 million bucks) then he isn't getting traded.

Teams wouldn't trade for him last year when he was coming off one of his best seasons and had a lower price tag by about 4 million dollars. Do you really think they are going to jump at the chance to pay him 20 million bucks this year when he is a year older??

The only shot in hell we have at a sign/trade with Pep is if some team really wants him badly (not likely) and he agrees to re-negotiate his contract so he doesn't make 20 million dollars in 2010 (even less likely).

Actually unicar, part of what you said in incorrect. If we tag Peppers at $20 million, and another team offers him a contract.. they would only have to pay him whatever the new contract states.. they would not owe him that $20million franchise tag. However, they would owe us compensation in the form of draft picks (2 1st rounders, unless negotiated otherwise).

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
