Source: Peppers has a list of 4 teams he'd play for, 2 in the NFC South

Pep is becoming more and more of a bitch every day...4 teams out of 32 and he has already backed off his "I want to play in a 3-4 scheme" excuse. There is no way in hell that we will trade Pep to the Bucs, Saints, or Falcons...its just not happening. Maybe the source thinks that we don't want to trade them to other NFC contenders b/c of a possible playoff meeting not necessarily the NFCS. Hopefully we can get a deal worked out.

Given that a trade to any of these vague teams sounds less than ideal for the Panthers, it really does seem like Peppers is just trying to encourage the Panthers into not placing the franchise tag on him. It’s also strange that this news would come out after reports that Gross is close to being signed, meaning we couldn’t tag him (I know that was a longshot, but it was still a possibility.

stupid then and stupid now

says you

wa it stupid when Plaxico walked? NY thought so

Was it stupid when Joey Porter walked? Miami thought so

what franchise does big cat idolize?

If a player wants out and has question marks surounding his talent/production ratio. The question ill be answered by Carolina not franchising him and showing the league that he is an overrated side of beef, nothing more.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
