Gantt: Hurney looking for two firsts


VA Panther Fan

Recommended Posts

Actually the article didn't say Hurney was looking for 2 1st rounders to trade Peppers.

In other words if another team wants him, they will have to go about aquiring him through the rules set up in the CBA pertaining to signing a franchised player. Peppers is now going to have to convince a team to part with 2 1st round picks in order to not play in Carolina next season. He better be ready to sign a contract for about half of what that Panthers offered him for that to happen.

And yes, I love how Hurney is handling this. He's not even considering trading Peppers which is going to drive Peppers price down just like that "list" and other comments from Peppers almost drove down the Panthers trade value of Peppers. Very nice work today in the Panthers front office.

Right under that is Hurney isn't thinking of trading peppers, so he pretty much said that to get peppers we want two first.

No he didn't he said no trades are on the table and any team is free to sign Pepers under the CBA agreement of two firs rounder compensation. This is a captain obvious statement.

He's not thinking trade right now, regardless any list of four teams. Directly from the blog. I take it that means that at the moment the panthers aren't interested in trading peppers.

Exactly what my first post you quoted said, and exactly what I and mountainpantherfan stated twice more. Hurney isn't entertaining trades. The two first rounders are what any team that signs peppers without working a trade with the Panthers would owe in compensation under the franchise tag defenition in the CBA.

His quote was most likely meant as a message to Peppers you're in for a fight.

Anyone get the feeling that a conversation like this is happening right now...

Peppers: What the hell Carney? You said there was no way for the team to franchise me because they couldn't sign Gross in enough time. Now I said all those things you told me to say and Hurney is going to **** me up the *** on this deal. What the hell are we going to do now?

Carney: ???? I've got somewhere to be. See you in a couple of day....

    • 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
