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 Lately, it's like he's been replaced by his evil twin.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.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
