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

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
