Peppers buying bubbly for Chicago club goers

He probably brought that with the 19million we gave him for one season..

THINK ABOUT THIS: Carolina fans agonized all last season over the team’s decision to use the franchise tag on defensive end Julius Peppers and pay him $16.7 million for one season.

Well, guess what?

As it turns out, the Panthers actaully paid Delhomme more than they did Peppers.

In fact, Delhomme collected $19 million for one season. Yep, that’s how much the Panthers had to pay him as a result of a bad contract last year – all of that money guaranteed. Simply put, the Panthers made a horrible contractual mistake and it cost them. Remember, they could have chosen not to extend Delhomme and let him play out the fina; year of his contract in 2009. Obviously hindsight is 20-20, but that move would have saved owner Jerry Richardson roughly $14 million.

Think Jake will be at Bojangles buying gallons of sweet tea and biscuits for everybody in the place? Makin' it rain, if you will.... Telling Charlotteans thanks for the years?

You think this isn't the hope and dream of every professional sports player?

If I was single, I would never want to make $97 million in a great town like Chicago. There are just too many cool places and hot chicks to blow my money on.

:rofl:

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
