In the absence of clear statements, you have to read between the lines. And what lives there is the possibility that a trade could be a potential end to this contract dance that has gone on now for nearly two years.

The Panthers offered Peppers a contract that would make him the highest-paid defensive player in the league, but no contract has been signed. It's not that he has rejected the team's advances, but he has tried to keep the issue at arm's length for some time.

I didn't see all the interviews with him, but have read that he says it's not about the money - it's about doing what is best for him and the team doing the best for the team. If he has indeed already been offered a contract making him the highest paid defensive player in the league - then yes, it's not about the money at all. It's about him wanting to be somewhere else. Best to go ahead and let him. We've seen what happens when you've got a player who'd rather be somewhere else. It affects team chemistry to where it hurts the team. I'd hate to see him go, but if that's what he truly wants - then that needs to happen.

I wonder if he would be more receptive to staying if some coaching changes were made.

I honestly think thats one of the hangups.

He doesn't like some part of the scheme.

How much of that is Fox and how much is the Turdo.

What I really do believe is Peppers doesn't want the team left high and dry, and realizes if he does leave he can help us ease the hurt with a pile of draft picks.

Hey Gantt, if your going to assume who's staying and who's going, its some far less talented players on the team I'll rather assume are leaving as suppose to one of our best players.

Your comprehension skills suck almost as much as my spelling.

the idea that Pep is so selfless that he doesnt want to "cripple" us is very odd to me. i dont know if i buy it.

i think he wants to play somewhere else and he isnt the type of guy to come out and say it to the media

i wonder where he wants to play? big market maybe? or better weather possibly? who knows. IMO Pep has proven to be a weird dude

He wants to be on a team with a chance and all this shows me that he does not have the confidence this team can as long as the scheme remains as it does. I wonder also how much is Fox and How much is Trgo.

If it's a choice between him and the turd say flush the turd.

peppers hasn't been holding this team back. if anything it has been the scheme that has been holding the team back.

i hope fox/hurney realizes who is more valuable to the team.

I wonder like others if the fact that we have a crappy scheme and rely too much on Peppers to get pressure (meaning he is doubled all the time) wears on him. If he played in an aggressive scheme and we had another bookend rusher like him, he wouldn't have to carry the load and we would be vastly improved. I could see him wanting to go to Houston or Phoeniz who both would be instantly better and would utilize him much better than we have. And he spends lots of time there already.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
