I believe it was Skew that mentioned, in another thread, that peppers could wait to sign his tag up until the 14th game. At that point he would be paid his 16 million for playing in 2 games. I'm interested in others opinion. I have mentioned that peppers was acting like a spoiled brat because of his not signing the tag, or being more active in searching out another team. Does anyone else feel that he is trying to hurt the team instead of help? He made a statement that he wanted to do what was best for both he and the team. He has been treated like royalty on this team. He has made a lot of money and I think most of us feel he has not been worth the price. He has had great moments and definitely has potential for many great moments, but he has not been worth the money. I would be thoroughly pissed if he held out until the last moment, signed the tag, and collected the money. He isn't a dummy by no means, but I thought he had more integrity.

If he waited till the 10th game to sign, the Panthers would cut him before he got two games in. On top of that, it would destroy his chances of EVER getting a big pay day.

yeah, this would drop his value down a lot. anything that he does to hurt the team will be seen as a big negative for any other team wanting him. all he is going to do is get 1 year contract offers from then on. very few teams would feel that they could depend on him for long before his wanderlust kicked in. this also makes him seem a lot less of a team player than what they would like to sign big multi year contracts to.

The entire tag is not owed to Pepp if he doesn't sign before the 1st game. The amount is prorated on a per game basis of about $1 million per game. If he waits until the 10th game to sign, he get's a whopping $6 million the rest of the season. It is not in Peppers best interest to not sign the tender.

Peppers may be thinking everything over again... maybe he is thinking about staying in Carolina...

If he wanted out of Carolina bad enough, we would have heard something by now about his agent talking to other teams.

I like it. It would be nice if he told the Panthers, "withdraw the FT and I will sign a contract". But I don't think that will happen.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
