The Panthers know what Pep's expectation is from last season. Apparently it is too high.

They are allowing him to test Free Agency as they believe the market will not be where Peppers expects.

Not saying that he will eventually sign here. But, I expect Peppers to be very disappointed in what he hears and eventually gets.

I think that too. But it only takes one idiot (like Al Davis).

Little history for you people...and ones that continue to bring up the same FO bitchwhines...not saying they don't deserve it for other issues...but the Peppers situation? No. Can't say they did anything wrong.

Panthers FO offered Peppers a contract in 2007...he would've been made the HIGHEST PAID DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE NFL AT THAT TIME. Got that?

Trading him at that point ala Richard Seymnour would have been the way to go.

So got that? He turned down that contract. Fast forward to 2008 season. Peppers and FO try to work out a contract. Ain't happening...again. So the Panthers say ok...we'll just have to franchise him. They do, BUT...and he's the kicker...Peppers and his agent don't sign the franchise tender until the last minute. Got that? Know what that means?

That means the Panthers couldn't trade him. Period. No tender...no ownership...no ability to trade him. Peppers wanted HIS team to go to.

He became the prima donna in all this. Not only was a 2007 contract good enough. Not only was the 2008 contract good enough. Not only was the franchise tender good enough to just go ahead and sign and let the Panthers see what they could get for him and send him to a team. He wanted to pick the team.

I'm sorry...Julius Peppers does not deserve 1/6th of the salary cap to play 1 year. Explain exactly how this is the front office's fault. I'd rather keep people like Thomas Davis and others that seem to be team players understanding what it takes when a salary cap system is in place.

way to type up a bunch of crap that every single person already knew.

actually I would love for g5jamz to try to argue with me in here.

In the tinderbox, there's enough similarly minded hormone deficient troglodytes wandering around to agree with his positions on murdering browns, rounding up and purging homosexuals, his pitiful understanding of history, armchair general blood lust, and believing that things like pajamas media are viable alternatives to informative media.

but here, with a world of statistics and overwhelming observable evidence and conjecture, I could show him to the huddle as the dumb ***** fraud that he is.

do you have more posts in it? why in the world would I want to read the rest of the thread?

Then you obviously weren't the audience were you Fiz.

And I do keep my awful stuff in another forum...you just cannot seem to seperate the two which ends up requiring you to take vacations from time to time.

Got any trade predictions to make?

your terrible posting has unintended consequences. I believe dumb hicks like yourself call people like me collateral damage. Of course when your dross is as pointless as that, everyone is a victim.

And I do keep my awful stuff in another forum...you just cannot seem to seperate the two which ends up requiring you to take vacations from time to time.

trust me there might be a difference in your mind but everything that comes out of you is irredeemable trash.

lol are you going to pull up threads i made when I was drunk? go nuts.

      Tremaine Edmunds to be released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Hold on, didn't Edmunds and Dan Morgan time overlap while at da bills?? I think Dan came to the Panthers in 2020, I swear getting old....... I know that bills and Edmunds had a falling out and they allowed a 24-25 talented 5 year pro to walk. Bills then found milanoe(sp...4th round?) and gave him money until injuries changed his path. He also a free agent too. Ive seen bad reports on Edmunds, but his elite skill allowed him to overcome his bad habits. Now he's a little slower and the second team in his career is willing to let him walk. Bears had enough cap room too, 17mill for a ILB, Jesus you need to be on Luke's level.... Unless he's coming on the cheap and I know he's not, pass form me. Too many bad habits and poor judgements for a guy that is going to get 10 something mill.

      Free Agency Preview/Targets

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Notes of mine heading into FA FA Notes & Targets To Get Out of the Way... Where We Stand: We played our bahoovies off in the wildcard round, but don't forget that we fell backwards into the playoffs.  It was not a consistent stretch of quality ball.  Yeah, we had eye raising moments/games, but the ups weren’t sustained. Paying sticker price on too many top free agents creates an imbalance.  Maybe 1 or 2 decent signings, but the focus should be based on a combo of impact+value.     Still keep an eye out for an A'Shawn trade - Bengals could send us a pick or two.  We save $10 mil.  May end up released.  Positional Notes: Linebacker Unit: Target all over, find the clearest, best impact in both FA and Draft. I really hope we identify a rookie we love.  Clear as day to us all, it’s a major hole. Rozeboom & Wallace should be depth/elsewhere. Center: Big need, but it's going to be a competitive market for Mays, Linderbaum and McGovern. Pass Rush: There are obvious upgrades available.  I get many like young, slightly cheaper vet, with more long term viability, but I don’t think we’re limiting ourselves to that pool.  We've tried it with Wonnum, P Jones, and others.  We may go for more of a splash here.  I personally think Chubb happens. DB Group: An additional Slot Defender/NB/Box type is a need.  Smith-Wade looked good at times, but he’s more of a traditional, finesse Nickel.   Having a more diverse, physical nickel would go a long way.  You don’t need to go full-blown Emannwori, think in the Pitre or DeJean mold as well.  The draft is ideal for this, FA not so much WR: Keep building via draft.  Don't waste money at this spot, especially on a WR2/3 like Doubs or someone.   Overall Needs: Offense: QB2, RB3, WR3/4, TE, OT, C, Swing Depth Defense: NT/DT, EDGE, NB, ILB, DB-BPA Neat idea, but not happening: Tyler Linderbaum Center & Alec Pierce WR - I just don’t see us competing financially for their services.  I believe we target defense with the heftier contracts.    Trey Hendrickson would be just too much of a hit considering the holes we have.  Unsure if it makes sense.   Realistic FA Targets: Justin Strnad LB - Watch for him. Familiarity, capable guy, good blitzer, had a solid 2025 for a top defense.  He reportedly wants to start.  And don't forget: this was the guy Evero hand-picked to bring along when he was signed, but JS changed his mind last minute and stayed in Denver for his family.  We had a contract drafted up.  There's great value here and an obvious fit.  Connor McGovern C - He’s an effective guy in the middle that would allow us to just focus on defense in the draft.  I can see Mays and Linderbaum heading to Chicago/Nashville/Vegas/LAC.  Meanwhile, McGovern provides us with value and a sure thing in the middle.  One of Mays/McGovern/Linderbaum would be nice.   Bradley Chubb EDGE/DE - I’m not jumping up and down for him but given what we’ve heard, I think he's a very clear upgrade that we're looking at. Had a decent 'recovery' year coming off injury.  May not warrant a hefty price tag given recent history and would instantly boost our pass rush.   Above is simply who I like for us, at this time, at positions of need.     More Under the Radar types.. Eric Wilson ILB - Had a solid year for the Vikings.  A tad on the older side at 32 but proved he's got some juice left for a few more years.  Would be a value signing. EJ Speed ILB - I've liked him, he's had an impact in his career so far.  Don't really know the history for why the Colts traded him within the division but he's had some good moments.  Was a tackling machine for a while in Indy and has plenty left in the tank. Roger McCreary DB - He's about the only slot defender I like for us via FA.  I would like to see this done via draft but would get it as a signing.  Young, good starting experience, got banged up for LAR, where Curl showed up and they just landed McDuffie.  Watch for him.  May not warrant a big price tag but provides a solid guy to be slotted right in with Smith-Wade. Sean Tucker RB - He should not be much.  Tucker can be a real home run hitter.  Has proven to be darn efficient and I'm unsure we want to bank on Brooks/Etienne behind Chubba.  He knows how to chip in and pinch hit.  Who we're probably considering if we get aggressive: Devin Lloyd LB - very hyped as a rookie, took a while to figure it out, but has. Roquan/Warner are the most expensive off-ballers around $20 mil/yr.  This is probably a ~$17-19 mil/year price tag.  Steep price.   Bobby Okereke LB - Could be a nice veteran to pull the unit together.  Need a guy who can bring some definition to the defense.  Leo Chenal LB - Has had a few very nice seasons, a tad under the radar, being behind two studs in Tranquill and Bolton.  Only 25, some great upside.  1300+ snaps and an 87.4 grade on that site we all totally love and never debate about.  Only thing - he's very useful in blitz packages and KC played him more than just ILB.  He may be too gadgety and blitz reliant for Evero.   Malcolm Koonce EDGE/DE - had some upward trajectory, then had an ACL tear, and then stalled in the mess that was the Raiders in 2025.  Still 4.5 sacks and improved run-d.  Could be a value signing. Fun Idea, but will get overpaid elsewhere: Wandale Robinson WR - A guy who is blooming, would command about $15-16 mil annually, maybe more.  But would add so much to this offense.  I’d see if he’s at least interested.  Just like the fit but yeah, not happening. Jaelen Philips EDGE - The price on him with his injury history scares me too much.  I think Tillis is wise enough to help our FO stay away from this type of overpay/risk combination.
