Yes, Jason Taylor is past his prime and yes he will want some decent cash. Alot less than Peppers and is a decent fill in til we can find permanent starter. I say we ink JT for 2 years and trade Peppers for for a 1st and 2nd or in Pats case both their 2nds and a third. I think the second option is great cause we can fill alot of holes that way. Pats would be more inclined do that b/c they would still be able to keep their first rounder.

JT is used up, I don't care what he says about how he's gonna have a big comeback this year - his body is breaking down on him... no thanks.

We have some young talent we need to develop in both Charles Johnson and Hilee Taylor. Charles Johnson had more sacks last year as a backup than Jason Taylor did as a starter!

WE can't trade Peppers until he signs is tender, but we have the non-exclusive tag on him and his agent is running around right now trying to find an offer sheet the Panthers would agree to. The Panthers have taken the position that they are perfectly happy to keep Peppers around if his agent can't find a trade they like.

Lets not turn into the Cowboys or the Redskins here (neither of which made the playoffs by the way) by bringing in all these aging stars... we build through the draft and look for bargans late in free agency to fill in gaps and build depth. We went 12-4 last year and have all 22 starters coming back.... we're sitting pretty.

Because we currently do not have the ability to trade Peppers until he signs the franchise tender.
it is not and has not been us who has to work out the trade.

we don't franchise so we can trade. we franchise to keep players we don't want to lose. we didn't want to lose peppers so we slapped a tag on that big forehead that said "panther's property."

if he wants to play somewhere else he and that agent of his has to go out and find a trade partner willing to give us what he wants.

the burden is on peppers...not us.

Ahhh, so please correct the Patriots....

There is a difference in how things are suppose to work and how they actually work.

I never said that the Panthers were going to trade him if he signed, I stated a fact that we can't trade him.

Edit: And there is a burden on all the parties involved, not just Peppers and his agent.

(wasn't necessarily aimed at you, ashehudson)

panthers don't want him to leave. why is that so hard to grasp? they want him to stay so they tagged him. doesn't matter what other teams are doing. that is what the panthers did.

their intention is as it has always been and that is to keep peppers as a panther as long as they can.

if peppers truly wants to go play somewhere else then he can go find a trade partner. the panthers aren't going to go around and do that. that isn't their job. if peppers signs the tender then it is something that the panthers can work to do (even though i don't think they would).

the pats never had any intention of keeping cassel. they franchised him simply to get some trade value from him. it wasn't much (because he wasn't worth it) but it worked.

the pats and the panthers are working from two totally different angles. don't expect the same results and don't expect that both should have the same results.

Peppers doesn't need to sign his franchise contract. If he does that, he's pretty much locked into that 1 year contract.

He and his agent are free to get him to sign a offer sheet from another team.

Wish people would get facts straight before talking out of their ass.

As far as this thread, I wouldn't mind Jason Taylor, AND Peppers lined up.

I wonder if Taylor will keep his head in football this off season.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, we are gonna stink at some positions. We have a bad roster, so you just have to expect that on a cellar dwelling team. The hope is that it's a net improvement over last season. If we accomplish that, I am good. I don't want to see Rhule era panic and more outgoing draft capital in another foolish "a couple of pieces away" campaign.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      Worse than Gabriel is insane. That's "about to be out of the league" status. That draft really will go down as the worst class in NFL history for QB's. If it wasn't for Purdy, there wouldn't be a single NFL QB in the entire thing. But, the most impressive of all is us picking the only one of them that ended up never seeing an NFL game. #TepperMagic

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By MHS831 · Posted

      With Morgan, I see a plan. No, you don't measure the GM at this point in terms of wins and losses--but we will later.  I thought Hurney sucked in free agency and was sub par after round 1 of the draft.  When Fox was a lame duck and did not inform the GM, Hurney drafted Jimmy Clausen and moved up for Armanti Edwards. He started trading away future first rounders when he got desperate (to get Otah and then drafted Everette Brown the following year)  Gettlemen was the "one-year contract" guy.  The players hated him.  Fitterer was terrible.    It is too early to tell with Morgan, so you have to look at the pieces.  Our OL was bad, now our OL is good.  WR was a weakness--now WR seems to be a strength.  DL was bad, now DL should be very good.  Pass rush was bad, we have 2 solid rookies and added Wonnum and Jones.  I think Morgan has had 2 solid drafts, especially in rounds 3-7.  He has had 2 good seasons bringing in UDFAs, imo.  The team went from terrible in 2024 to taking the two super bowl teams down to the wire late.  The energy is positive.  The wins will come.
