We have already signed Gross which is great. I definetely wouldn't want to waste the franchise tag on him.

The Peppers situation is still undecided. We have tagged him, but what comes next?

Optimal Situation: We trade Peppers for two first round draft picks.

Probable Situation: We trade Peppers for first and third round picks.

Worst Situation: We cannot find a team to pass Peppers on to, so he stays here another year and we do not pick up any draft picks and are left with minimal cap room

What does we all thinks will happen?

I want more then the optical solution. I want a kings ransom for him. 1st, 3rd, 5th (09) 1,3 (2010).

That seems to be a kings ransom to me.

I would shat my pants if anyone paid that but it does seem that we (as fans that watch him every sunday) undervalue him wayyyy to much. This guy is PRIME defensive talent and if he wasn't so damn stubborn as to where he wants to go we would have people beating down our door to give us a first round draft pick + more compensation to get him. As it stands now it is unknown who in the AFC he wants to play for so he will likely go to the team he wants to play for and bring back the offer sheet. When he does that, that team will have the upper hand by knowing that they are the main market and Pep will not be happy and may not sign anywhere else. Which reallly sucks...

It will be interesting to see what team, if any, want him.

Those coaches have tape, and they know his weaknesses quite well.

Two #1s are a lot.

...of course, so was the $16 million the Panthers will have to pay him.

Obviously, if the Panthers are willing to pay any one player $16 Million, then Julius is not the legend in his own mind I think he is.

If only that man had Brad Hoover's heart in his body.

We'll see.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
