If what ESPN News said is true and he does not want the franchise tag, this situation could go from cordial to ugly really, really quick :(

I find that hard to believe. Peppers has said as much that if a tag and trade situation is best for the team then he would be happy to do that. I think, as usual, ESPN is confusing the fact that Pep wants to choose the team he goes to with him not wanting to be franshised. Don't forget that as a tagged player Pep can veto any trade by simply not being willing to sign a contract with the other team.

Now if the Panthers try to tag him and play him next season, you are correct about the situation getting ugly quickly.

Not really... if he refuses to play he is fuged. He will pay OR be traded... he cant just refuse...

I will let u in on a little secret...

No player wants the tag... that is why they let their contracts go to FA... so they can demand top dollar...

re: Lance Briggs

It's a countermeasure to keep team from being left high and dry.

Oh I knew that, but his comments about doing what was best for the team as well as himself made it sound like he'd be amenable to being tagged and traded (not that he really has a choice).

He did state definitively that he would not hold out. He knows that's a lousy strategy.

You are right that he would have to take the trade but it would only be for one year. No team is going to trade multiple picks, espeically 1st round picks, for the right to have a player for one year. Most of these type of trades have stipulations in them requiring the other team to be able to come to terms with the player on a new contract for the trade to be final.

I don't think Peppers wants out of Charlotte so bad that he would sign on for 4-5 years with the Raiders or Lions or some other teams for that matter. The team is in the drivers seat but Pep has the map.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
