Gantt: Hurney looking for two firsts


VA Panther Fan

Thats more than Jared Allen, who is not known for taking plays/games/seasons off.

However Allen did have two DUI's, so it could happen.

These days, I can't imagine that anyone would trade two 1's for pep though.

It's a strategy.

If we say Peppers is worth a first and a third.. we ask for 2 firsts.. people might give us a first and a second to try to meet in the middle.

Here's the latest from Gantt's blog:

During a conference call, Panthers GM Marty Hurney is stressing the notion that they're waiting for franchise-tagged DE Julius Peppers to solicit offers, and if anyone wants to pony up the two first-round picks required under the CBA, they're willing to consider matching or not.

He's not thinking trade right now, regardless any list of four teams.

After Peppers played hardball yesterday, it's their turn now.

Gnatt kinda mis represented this one. The required compensation for signing a franchised player without working a trade with the team that owns the players rights are two first rounders.

Hurney just stated the obvious any team can sign him for two first round pics without even consulting the Panthers.

We'll see how it works out though. He wanted a first rounder for Jenk originally, turned down a second in the process, and then had to settle for a third. Hope that doesn't happen with Pep.

That was a years time. He first asked for a 1st rounder in 07 then when things got worse had to take a 3rd and also cause Jenk didnt make the Pro bowl.

    • I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....        
    • I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.
    • Todd mcshay is doing a deep dive each week on the top propects.  Although he likes manning as a top guy he doesnt think he is coming out but he absolutey raves about Cade, Sellers and Garrett n.   Cade is the jack of all trades, does everything kindof well, Garrett is the big game hunter that has pin point accuracy, and sellers is the wildcard, the tools and arm is simply off the chart.  So adding in Manning and allar this class has unreal potential
