I know there's a thread speculating about the four teams, but I heard John Clayton say on ESPN radio this morning that the teams are:

Dallas

Washington

Philadelphia

Mystery AFC team

He also gave reasons today on why those teams won't go for Peppers.

All I heard him say is that the Cowboys already have DeMarcus Ware. He didn't even mention the fact that they don't have a first.

I didn't hear him give any reasons why Washington or Philly would go for him. He only said that the Panthers wouldn't want to send him to either of those teams.

Also, he said that he thinks Peppers will remain in Carolina for at least this season, and that we would try to let time heal the wounds and sign him to a long term deal sometime this summer.

Such as?

I actually turned in late from NFLN and caught the tail end of it. It was during Mike and Mike.

But first off the obvious is that the Cowboys don't have a first rounder, and that they are trying to make Ware the highest paid defensive player.

Then the summary was that how those three teams were not likely, I have been trying to see if they would replay it.

Those may be the three teams Peppers wants to go to, he was just giving reasons why those teams were not likely.(or that so far they haven't showed interest)(whether his statements are true or not is up in the air, but he was saying it)

Maybe it's the drugs I'm on(had surgery yesterday) but he sure was sounding like those teams were not likely.

Maybe I misunderstood that with him having reasons, because I didn't see all of it.

Yeah, he was most definitely calling those trade possibilities unlikely, he just didn't give any specific reasons except for the dallas stuff

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
