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.

      I dont care as long as he plucks the ball out of the air like he did in college, maybe it will rub off on XL and make him up his game too.

      My boy: My wife has been cheating on me and I have proof! Here, look at these texts where she's congratulating some other man on how well he pounded her out like she'd never experienced before to the point he rearranged her IUD! I'm gonna post these texts on social media for the whole world to see! Me:

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.
