no news...

We'll never know what the Panthers were REALLY going to do because of Carey's bungling. Nobody would give you 16mill and beg you to stay if they wanted you gone. The FO was probably still po'd about the treatment they got last year.

I'm just happy Feb 25th isn't far away so we can end this bulls*@t cause I'm sick of it. Neither party handled this situation well at all. The Panthers I'm afraid, will be on the loosing end of this one.

The FO and defense could loose some credibility cause if you were gonna let him go it should have been last year and then there is that filling the ProBowler, elite player hole in the D line. They don't come along often.

Summary......We have nothing to report now, so let me speculate and throw poo against the wall. Something is bound to stick...then I can say that I broke the story.

That is all.

I take it that you didn't actually watch it because they don't even attempt to do that. Florio and the other dumbass, I forget his name, spend the first 3/4 of the segment stating the case why the Panthers won't franshise him. Then they say that the Patriots were interest last year but other than that he could end up on any team.

Its pretty bad when they attempt to throw poo on the wall but forget the poo! LOL

"Anybody who drops a ton of cash on this gutless selfish punk will regret it almost immediately"

Looks like bitter Panther fans are actively posting comments.

Gutless: One can argue that he disappears at times but his post college job description says in order to get a paycheck he has to stand toe to toe with 300 LB linemen.

Selfish: I have never turned down a raise or purposely done anything to limit the amount of money someone was willing to give me for performing my job.

Punk: See Gutless Caption. Like him or not, dude is a bad agent.

Point is, the situation with the Panthers sucks but Peppers is an employee with a unique set of skills looking to maximize his wealth. Short comings be damned, he(and any one else for that matter) should get as much money as the free market is willing to give him.

I could care less about Peppers leaving. He really has not been an impact players since 04. Yea he gets sacks and has great games like the Vikes last years but that was one damn game. He should do that every game because he is capable and thats what they pay him so much to do.

I'm thinking it will go something like this...

Panthers refuse to franchise him. They can still sign him to a long term deal before FA starts but he wants significantly more than what they are willing to give. He hits free agency and sees his value around the league is much lower than what he's asking for. His agent lets him sit on the market for weeks waiting for that big offer to come in, which never happens. Eventually he signs a deal with the team that offers him the most, the Panthers. The deal ends up being less than what they offered 2 years earlier.

Just a total guess.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
