Cant be mad at him for that.Would like him back but not for the 15mil a year some say he wants

Right now, I have no idea what’s going on,” Peppers (left from AP, with DE Brian Orakpo) said, as I hustled to keep up with him. “I don’t even have any information on it.”

I think anywhere is a potential landing spot,” he said. “I don’t have a preference. To be honest with you, I really haven’t thought about what team would be a good fit.”

“I’m just trying to get on a team right now,” Peppers said. “I’m not going to say I want to play for any team. I’m just trying to get a contract.”

I would not give him a long-term contract that averaged 15 million a year. He is not worth that kind of money given his inconsistent play.

He dominates one game and then disappears the next.

I would rather see the Panthers franchise him and pay him $20 million in an uncapped year and then let him walk before the possible lockout, than sign him long-term to that kind of money.

I also cant wait for the possibility for this to happen and Pep bitch about how we "screw him" out of money/commitment for a long term contract for another team. Poor poor Pep.

I think Pep has GOTTEN SMART--

I think anywhere is a potential landing spot,” he said. “I don’t have a preference.

“I’m just trying to get on a team right now,” Peppers said. “I’m not going to say I want to play for any team. I’m just trying to get a contract.”

This gives BOTH him and us the ammo we need to get a #1 draft pick and him a long term contract.

He will be franchised in a couple weeks, and traded before the draft.

Pep learned from his mistakes last season, and with 2 consecutive good years, some dominating performances, and all decade team; Pep knows he will get a deal.

I am not sure that the panthers want to keep him now with how well Everett Brown played in the limited time that he did.

Brown is young and was getting a lot of pressure in his limited playing time near the end of the year.

I dont want us to lose Pep, but with the "i dont know whats going on" talk, it makes me think that the FO already knows what they are going to do, and Pep doesnt have the leverage he once had.

Its evident by the fact we dont see the "i dont want to play in Carolina Anymore, and I will only go to these 4 teams".....

However- if he stays, I wont be mad at all... :D

I tried to tell everyone to read between the lines when he said that the issues of last year weren't an issue at this time.

Peppers hasn't been convinced to stay here because he likes Meeks' defense, as most here have thought. He's just biting his tongue so we don't keep him another year. Last year's potential trade talk really hurt any chance he had of going elsewhere, and he knows it.

What is funny to me is....... you NEVER, never...... hear a word out of this SOB, till it's time to talk about money/contract.

Some may think that is a good thing, but it is also starting to be a very telling thing about him.

Fvck Pep.

I don't know, I like the guy, but this is very telling.

I’m just trying to get a contract.

He may be franchised again, but like last year we can't trade him unless he signs the tender which means we can dump him wherever we want. He won't sign because he doesn't want to end up in Oakland. Period.

I hope Hurney learned from last year, either sign a long term contract for reasonable money with incentives, Franchise Tag him, or just let him walk. But whatever the decision is, do it early so we know what the plan is before the draft. We don't want to wait until July again for the drama to be resolved holding the entire Franchise hostage in the balance.

Peppers is honestly too expensive to keep. He is 30 now and entering the age of physical decline. Signing him to a long term deal would be a mistake for the Panthers. Or did they not learn their lesson with Delhomme? Well you can't really compare the two because Peppers played great this year, but the fact remains he isn't a young buck anymore. If the Panthers knew they had a trade partner for him, then franchise him and trade him. Otherwise, thanks for the memories, you were one of the all-time great Panthers. Too expensive to keep, just my opinion.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
