The auction has started but.....

The New England Patriots have placed the opening bid on Julius Peppers. Several more bids potentially and probably will be made between now and the Nfl Draft when the auction is set to expire but just like on Ebay there is a buy it now price of 2 first round picks. Its nearly impossible to fathom anyone will bite on that.

It would be fun for the fans to finally have some closure to this whole debacle but it really doesent make much business sense for the panthers to make a deal until draft day or close to it if all they want is picks. The flipside of that situation is if there is a player that the panthers strongly covet who is placed on the trading block and they feel that player would make more of an impact than potential draft picks they could pull the trigger well before the draft.

Long story short, theres guranteed to be plenty more speculation and it may be accurate but if the panthers want draft picks as compensation, then it would be in their best interest for them to wait until the draft beings or at least after they have assembled their war room big board for the draft.

Owners meetings are next week: March 22nd through the 25th.

A fair amount of wheeling and dealing often gets done at these meetings. It's just convenient with everyone in one place.

Would be no great surprise if we see some action there.

is JR going to be making it to that or is mark going?

Im sure the Redskins will chime in with a monster deal. CLE and Den also should be on the list. Pep want be as picky as everyone thinks but someone will have to come up with some good compensation before Hurney will pull the trigger.

Schefter used to be one of the most believable guys in the business. Lately, it's like he's been replaced by his evil twin.

He's had some major head scratchers (most notably suggesting that the Panthers would be interested in Michael Vick) that have done some damage to his credibility.

These days I'd say the title of "insider to trust" belongs to Jay Glazer.

this is true....he still has his moments but he is loosing his ranking as the most credible.

as much as i hate to admit it, even the likes of florio are giving him a run for the money.

schefter is no perfect prognosticator and he has no idea how it is going to turn out. he may have a bit of an insight to things but when it comes to statements like that, he is making a(n) "educated" guess....basically pulling it out of his somewhat informed butt. this turd may stick to the wall or it may be wet and runny. who knows? we (including schefter) won't know for sure until something happens.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
