That means if he was too be let go by the Panthers than he can cross off:

Colts, Jets, Chargers, Raven ( rumored team ), Saints, Cowboys, Vikings, Cardinals.

Still leaves the other rumored Falcons and Pats. I think he will be a Patriot for sure. Considering that team is on the DECLINE, let him go. The only one that would hurt would be the Falcons, but if he wants to pull a Brett Favre on us, that will just be easy ammo when he comes back home...

Im not upset about pep leaving, im more upset about not being able to get anything for him...

The rule will restrict the final eight teams in the playoffs from signing free agents. The final four teams shall not be permitted to negotiate and sign any unrestricted free agent to a player contract except for players who acquired their status by being cut or were on the final four team when their contract expired. Playoff teams five thru eight get a break to sign one player with a salary of $4,925,000 or more and any number of players with a first-year salary of no more than $3,275,000 and an annual increase of no more than 30 percent in the following years.

There is a mechanism to permit the final eight teams to sign an unrestricted free agent for each one of their own unrestricted free agents who sign with another club as long as they don't spend more than what their own lost player received from his new club.

I doubt any team is going to lost a player who will be payed the same or more than Peppers lol! I still say Patriots will be the team to grab him. The team i hate the most beyond our division rivals, sometimes even more. Might make it easier to hate Peppers..

Yeah, but teams 5 thru 8 CAN sign any UFA, not 8.

he will end up in San Diego....you guys ever been to San Diego? A no brainer.

San Diego would be what we like to call a top 8 team. He'll only end up there if we trade him there which would take a heck of a lot of picks considering they don't pick until the bottom of the 1st round.

Not true Uni.

The Chargers have 4 or 5 players that they could lose to FA, and be able to sign Peppers. It has to be a highly paid player that they would lose, but the Chargers will have that ability.

Merriman

Vincent Jackson

Malcolm Floyd

Darren Sproles

and

McNeill

While Sproles likely won't top the amount to be able to get Pep, the others certainly could.

All in all, SD won't go after him, unless he gives them a super deal, and he has that ability.

I have a hard time believing New England for the sheer fact that they just traded away their stud defensive end to the Raiders last year because he was getting old(same age as Peppers.)

IF, and that's a big IF Carolina let's Peppers walk for nothing, I can honestly see him getting out in free agency and slowly realizing no one wants to make him the highest paid defensive player in the league like he somehow believes he deserves.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
