Do you think we need to franchise Peppers before trading him?

Based on what he's said, I think he's looking for us to engineer a sign-and-trade deal. That would allow us to keep the franchise tag in case things don't go well with Gross.

Is that a possibility?

I hope so. It doesn't appear to be hostile at this point. I expect Julius to handle this with class, as he has since day one. At the end of the day though, his personal wellfare has to be consideration number one. No different than you and I.

I'm not sure, but the way espn had it worded it seemed as if pep was wanting carolina to release him of his contract now.
If we did that we wouldn't get anything in return. If we franchise him, we can trade him where we want (not where he wants) or keep him here. From his POV, if we don't franchise him he can go where he wants, so it's in his interest to agree to a sign-and-trade if he gets to specify the team. Otherwise we could slap the tag on him and ship him off to the Lions for draft picks.

If he does agree to a sign-and-trade, we lose a little leverage in negotiations with the other team, but keep our tag if we need it.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i think the difference is that we win when we minimize Bryce as part of the offense ala Trent dilfer. look at the games we win and he us always under 200 yards passing.

      Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games  Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar

      They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has. I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.
