Just want to make sure everyone knows that we cannot trade Peppers until he actually signs the Franchise Tag Tender Offer. Not sure what the timing is, as far as how late he can do this, but we cannot talk to any team at all about Peppers until he is our property, and he won't be our property until he signs the Franchise Tender. I believe Adam Schefter sums it up best... http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/02/peppers-will-be-harder-to-trade-than-cassel/

I just wish he would hurry up and do it, since he doesn't want to make it difficult on us and all, you know...

YES, everyone knows but if peppers signs the tender we can ship him to detroit or another crappy team and he can't reject it, but as long as he hasn't signed the tender the ball is in his court. In other words he has all the power right now, if he signs the tender, the Panther's Organization has all the power.

You are correct, as Adam states. I just wanted to make sure everyone wasn't getting pissed at the Front Office. It is totally out of their hands unless / until he signs the tender offer.

I honestly think we are going to stuck with this guy next year. He already takes off about half the plays anyways, can't wait to see what he does next year. I think that is part of our issue, if anyone actually watches tape on this guy you will clearly see it. Sure he makes some amazing plays, but most of the time, he won't even jump on a pile that end right at his feet.

Peppers has a franchise tender and cannot be traded until he signs it, which means any trade discussions must go through his agent, Carl Carey.

All this means is that Carey has to become a middle man in working out a trade. If a team makes an contract offer to Peppers that he would accept then Carey will make a phone call to Hurney and ask if the Panthers are willing to trade with said team. Once Carey thinks the deal is likely then Peppers will sign the tender and the trade will be done.

Schefter makes it sound like a trade can not happen. The Panthers are actually being smart about the situation and having Carey do all the work knowing he doesn't want Peppers to sign the tender yet.

Actually, you are wrong. We can't ship him to any team, because Peppers has to agree to the trade (even if he signs the tender). For the sole reason that, no team in their right mind would trade top draft picks for a player if they are not willing to re-sign a new long-term deal. Peppers obviously would not just sign a long-term deal with any team (like the Lions).

Even if he does sign the tender, the ball is still somewhat in his court.

Correct, and Peppers signing the tender would actually work agaisnt the Panthers in ways so it really doesn't matter if he signs it or not IMO.

Basically peppers wont agree to any deal he doesn't like so it will come down to one of two things: Staying with the panthers and getting a huge one year pay deal, or finding a team that peppers likes that is willing to give the panthers something they like in return. The only other way is if peppers wants to leave so bad he caves and goes to a crappy team just to get out of carolina. The X factor is what the panthers organization will settle for in return for peppers. 2 first round picks is going to be almost impossible to get

No it wouldn't because no one in their right mind would give the panthers two first rounders for him. When he signs the tender the panthers organization holds all the power.

Peppers has plenty of power even if he signs the tender. No team will trade for him if he's unwilling to play for them or sign a long-term deal.

If he signs the tender it does not matter because then he is under contract and we have the right to send him anywhere, now another team may not want to agree to this trade if peppers comes out and says he will not play for that specific team like Ken Lucas did. But we cannot trade peppers until he signs the tender because he is not under contract, just because we franchised him does not mean that the specific player is under contract and since Peppers has been given the non-exclusive franchise tag, he can sign with someone until November 9th (The 10th week of the NFL season).

This is why I talk ill of the FO. Not because "Hurney isn't signing anyone!!", but because I think this Pep thing will drag out and more than likely he won't be traded, thus we have to restructure all these people to make room. And if we do trade him, we will scrape the bottom of the FA barrel. Sometimes that works for us, sometimes it doesn't.

This is ALL about Pep.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
