Peppers is staying

For at least this year maybe.

I was going to make a thread earlier that said franchise pep, and let him play out the year. Something no one else proposed.

And with the talk from Hurney, it doesn't look like Peppers is going anywhere this year.

And this is really what I wanted to happen, franchise Peppers let him play out another season then franchise him again and then trade him. It's kinda very high risk/high reward but it would put the Panthers organization into a decent position. You have another year to try and build up the Dline through the draft, it absolutely kills our free agent money, but we never sign big name FAs anyway.

He doesn't want to play for us and never will again. If he stays it will be terrible for the team, I don't care how talented he is. We have all seen what he does when he doesn't want to play...he doesn't play and ends up with 2 sacks in a season. Get him out of here he has burned bridges already and teams know that if he plays where he wants to play then he will be one of the best in the league. We can get first rounders out of him and continue to build a young nucleus and maybe draft Mark Sanchez or even Matt Stafford if things go crazy at the draft (as they often do). Pep is as good as gone right now..

Totally agree with you. I like the way some folks think we are going to 'make him play'. he'd be a cancer in the locker room and a waste of cap money.

What about Peppers has ever led folks to believe he'd be a cancer in the locker room? He's never bad mouthed anybody. He didn't rip on the organization, coaches or players. He didn't blame anyone for making him want to leave. Somehow not wanting to be a Panther = an insult to some of you.

"Cancer" is a strong word but I have nightmares of him not getting traded and then pulling an 07 season with his 2.5 sacks...don't want that.

Yeah he wasnt in the past. I'm talking about the current status and if he has to stay... couldnt foster anything good

If Peppers doesn't get traded it will because no one thinks he is worth two first round picks or he fails to sign a long term contract with a team who is willing to pony up. In either case if he stays he would be incredibly stupid to stop playing or have a bad year. Everyone already wonders if he takes off plays and lacks motivation. What would they think if he had another bad year?

No he will play hard and do all he can. After all he will get 17 million dollars and will be playing to show everyone that 2008 was not the fluke, 2007 was. If he doesn't play for us or play well, then he will surely be unlikely to go anywhere and get half the money he thinks he is worth.

He knows that no matter how much he bitches and complains.

I wish I was that optimistic, I guess we will have to wait for this drama to unfold. but, if i was the owner it would chap my ass to pay someone 17mil who doesnt want to be a part of the organization. that just goes against the basic fundamentals of business...

Gross just today said he had his fingers crossed he stays. Doesn't sound like a cancer to me. That being said, my bet is he gets traded. But I wouldn't be devastated if he stayed this year...

of course thats the right thing to say. Hes prolly so high after signing his contract he doesnt know what hes saying.... i know i would.

    • I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though
    • I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.
    • Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
