We have 1 day to tag Pep

When the hell is this going to happen? If he walks out of here with ZERO compensation coming our way then Hurney is an incompetent douche. How he hasn't gotten Gross' deal done yet is beyond me with a priority such as Peppers franchise tag waiting in the wings. It will be one of the all-time greatest free agency mistakes to let him walk out of here for nothing...just a joke if that happens.

Just chill! They have to sign Gross first, and then they'll deal with the Peppers tag. It's gonna happen. Hold your freak outs for tomorrow evening.

HEY! HEY! EVERYONE FREAKING OUT! READ THE ABOVE STATEMENT.

YOU MAY PROCEED TO ACT AS IF THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE WHEN IT'S OFFICIAL. UNTIL THEN, QUIT BEING A BITCH ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING!

Glad I could help. =)

Now, let me try to help you understand why you can chill the f*ck out for at least one day....

You see, we have nothing going on other than waiting for FA to open up. Any smart organization is going to have their cards in order and until their hand is forced, why show them?

It's the same as them giving their injury list update on Wednesday, instead of Monday...

BUT WHYY!!!!?!?!

Because, it's smart.

Until then, chill the f*ck out...

You may proceed to bitch when Gross has to be tagged instead of Peppers. But how are you going to bitch until you know the facts?

It's as if you're complaining that it's going to rain just because it's cloudy.

Who knows, it may rain, but why are you sitting here with your panties in a bunch? Isn't it much more comfortable to wait and see than to assume and look stupid?

We will probably let him just walk.

If we do it WILL be the right decision. If we tag Pep it is going to put us close to 20 mil over the cap. We will have to make a ton of cuts and re-structures. So it is not like Hurney can just wave a magic wand and Gross is re-signed and pep is tagged. There is a lot more math in this than that.

I think he was assuming we were going to keep him if we tagged him.

No. If we tag him and don't make a deal for him we lose because we will never get a red cent of production next year. If we tag him a get a shitty deal for him we will lose time negotiating the poo deal trying for the bigger one and not focus on other needs because we are not sure of our D-line. I do not hink that tagging him and hitting a homerun is an option.

too many question marks. Let someone else answer them and let the market set his price, not the Franchise tag.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
