Top 8 Teams couldnt sign Peppers anyway...

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
