We will know a whole lot more about the Peppers and Gross situations....

Free agency starts on the 27th, but I fully expect us to threaten to tag one of them by the 12th at the latest.. That will give us a week before the deadline of the 19th to work out a deal or a trade, and then place the tag to use on the other player... The key being that we don't actually tag the one we first deal with, because once they sign the tag, then I believe it is not able to be rescinded at that point...

It's going to get very interesting between the 5th (the first day you can tag players) and the 12th in my opinion... So in essence, we could actually only be a good 3-10 days away from knowing SOMETHING on either of those two fronts...

I would think we would have Gross extended before we franchise Pep otherwise the FO backs itself into a corner.

If it is only a few days left during the franchising period and we still have not extended Gross, then they have probably hit another snag which is not good news.

Yea, Peppers is gone and good riddance. We're not going to tag someone who doesn't want to be on the team. He already takes plays off; you can't have starters who takes games off because they're pissed or "hurt."

There is no way the Panthers let him walk for nothing. That would be a horrible decision.

Even if you did not get a 1st rounder for him (which I think we would), you would get something in return. If you do not franchise him, he walks with zero compensation to the Panthers.

This would be bad business to the nth degree.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
