Panthers offer deal to Peppers


CanadianCat

Recommended Posts

The Panthers made a last-ditch effort to sign Julius Peppers, sources tell ESPN's Pat Yasinskas.

The long-term offer was for somewhere close to $14 million a year, according to Yasinskas. Peppers said "no thanks" and the Panthers then announced that he'd become a free agent. It's possible that Peppers turned down the richest deal he'll find, but he was obviously set on leaving town.

not going to get anywhere near that elsewhere.

what a bonehead.

good riddance. i'm glad he didn't take it.

thing to take from this, though, is that there was at least $14mil they were planning on spending on him this year that they can now be free to spend elsewhere. that could be easily used to lock up 2-3 players long term. davis and williams could both be taken care of with that $14mil a year.

*** Peppers I am ****** tired of hearing about him- he is a selfish bastard who the hell cares where he winds up, he has no loyalty to his home team. Screw him - he wants money we offered it to him, he wants a competitive team - we lost one of the closest superbowls ever and since then have been more than relevant. Screw him I'm ****** tired of talking about him and hearing about him. GOODBYE PEP you are dead to me

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
