Peppers inspired again?

Recommended Posts

Ever since Matt Moore has taken the helms, it seems that Peppers has been playing a little more inspired.

Last week against the Giants, after Moore made the TD throw to Moose, Pep met Moore halfway and gave him props, slapped hands, hugged him, and all that good poo. Now, I was just watching the highlights from today's game, and at the 20 second mark, Peppers appears running down the sideline cheering on Jonathan Stewart's 67 yard TD run. http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/09000d5d81575932/NFL-Scoreboard-Saints-vs-Panthers-higlights On the sidelines, he looks like he is enjoying himself and smiling again. I haven't noticed him act like this all season.

With that being said, do you think the recent turnaround with Matt Moore at QB, paired with the way the defense has been playing under Meeks, has done enough to inspire Pep to sign a long term deal with us? I hope so, but it remains to be seen.

apparently Beason thinks its a good possibility

Peppers split quickly, but teammates sounded more optimistic than ever that they can lure him back. The Panthers now have a window to negotiate a long-term contract, or they have the option to use the franchise tag again

“It’s just a matter of the contract now,” linebacker Jon Beason said.

Jake not starting next year. Thats a fact. Fox isn't that dumb to start Jake on a short leash. He would get fired quickly

Thats if he decide to be back and work under a short leash. If he dont, that possibility with Jake is absolutely out the window

Its gotta suck as a defensive player playing your ass off, getting the ball back, then the QB just giving it away again several times a game. There may be something to it.

If somehow he knew for sure that Moore would be the starter next season, I really believe he would sign a new contract, gladly. But with the possibility of Jake starting next year. Who knows what he will do?

This and this. Hopefully, Julius is back next year and Jake is gone.

Damn, wish he would have realized Moore was the starting QB in the New England game.

    • Correct this logic I might if it meant taking his guaranteed money now and spread it over 3 years (2026-2028) and maybe add $6m.  I am not sure you can do that, or that he would do it, but it would be a way for him to extend his career and bank accounts and we would be getting him for $6m for 2 years (if healthy), basically, since his entire salary is guaranteed now.  If not, we lose an additional $6m spread over 2 years.  So let's say his guaranteed $$ for 2026 is $18m.  Give him a $24m contract ($8m per) through 2028.  Worst case:  We get $10m in cap relief now and create $3m dead cap for 2 years (2027-8).   Best case?  We get cap relief now and a good/decent guard/tackle for 2 years (2027-2028) and the total salary per year when he is active would be $12m if you don't count any money for the season he cannot play.  That is a good value, and we'd basically be getting a 50% discount rate.  Since we have so much guaranteed now, extending him is not as crazy as it seems.   Something has to be wrong with this logic...      
    • I don't disagree about Nikishin's potential availability, but Hamilton as a replacement? Not an upgrade in my book.
