If they can't find a trade that is to their liking, they can give Peppers the Lance Briggs treatment. Play here or don't play. Peppers isn't stupid. He's not going to sit on his couch and not get paid. If it comes down to it, he'll play. If he decides to slack, he'll only hurt his stock. He'll be right back in the same situation next off-season and he'll be one year older. He can play all the games he wants, but at this point if the Panthers play hardball he's hosed!

A 29 year old has to play. He sits a year, he costs himself millions...probably tens of millions. We have all the cards but I still think that the FO will not be fully stubborn. If a reasonable deal is offered, they will jump to avoid the whole headache even if it means settling for 80-90% of what they think he is worth.

I agree. He MUST play hard. If he stayed on for the franchise tender it would be a contract year all over again for him. I do think they'll trade him. But he doesn't have the leverage that he had yesterday.

He is still in a very good position....IMO

Pep has to agree to, the team he is traded to, and the terms that said team will offer him.

We have a little more leverage, but not as much as most on here would like.

And if he won't agree to a trade, then he's stuck here. At this point he's powerless. The only thing working in his favor is the $17 million cap hit.

I've gotta agree with some of the other guys. With the crap he's pulled off the field, having him forced to play the 09 season would be detrimental to the team. No one wants to play alongside a guy who desperately wants out.

I do NOT want to see him in a Panthers uniform ever again.

      Alright. I think the Charlotte Hornets are officially at capacity with the current number of white players on the roster. 20240912_221847_1.mp4

      The Miller trade is for a 2026 first round pick. (Not sure if Dallas or Canes own)

      XL is out here being a hero!

      right?  they have a choice to to choose to make absurd money playing a game.  a team has the right to protect themselves if the highly paid athletes like to dabble in say motocross in the offseason and to discourage that type activity.  I mean, Mahomes can still go play pickup ball all offseason.   He doesn't go to jail or get cut.  But if he gets hurt.....it impacts his money.   So he is discouraged from doing it....which IMO makes total sense.   XL is basically a bona fide country kid with money.  That means ATVs, horses, and all sorts of fun.   I think the Panthers should discourage his risky fun.....just like with anyone else.  ATV accidents happen all the time.  You know why XL was so eager to help and was helpful? Because is clearly an ATV guy.  Our hero didn't stumble across some stranger stuck.  They were messing around as country folks do.
