Thanks for the link.

In fact, you got the distinct feeling Belichick was trying to send a message to Peppers and his agent to sign the $16.68 million tender with the Panthers because it would actually help the trade process along .

[belichick] I think if a player wants to be traded or wants to be in a position where he could be traded, then the best thing for that player to do is do what Matt Cassel did — sign the tender, be under contract, and then go to the team and say, ’Okay, I don’t want to be here, trade me, this is where I want to go.’”

Peppers and Carey are really screwing them selfs. This is why you sign a proven Agent when your a top 10 talent and not a first timer.

here's a conspiracy theory for you:

if peppers is carey's one and only client and the only one he has ever had, were peppers and carey close prior to him turning pro? how long have they been working together and was he more just someone that peppers trusted rather than a proven agent?

if carey was hurting because of the economy in other areas or wanted more money for some reason do you think he started sewing seeds of discontent in peppers head? i think fatty jenks did a lot of that while he was here but still, it could have been something that carey saw as a moment to capitalize on to get some extra money from getting a new contract.

he could also be trying to use this as a moment to try and drum up some other business as an agent. no one would have known who he was had it not been for this melodrama.

soo...is it possible that carey was behind all of this and just fed on peppers insecurities?

if we are going to speculate on something, it might as well be interesting.

Carey was Peppers Academic adviser of sorts at UNC, they became good friends, while Carey kept Peppers from Flunking out. (he almost did his freshman year) Then when the draft came around, Peppers hadn't signed an agent and was getting a crazy amount of calls, So Carey started screening them, then Carey decided where Peppers would Train for the Combine (still trains with the same guy), Then ended up being Peppers Agent when he got drafted and it came time for him to sign.

So Peppers and Carey are really good friends, probably Peppers most trusted and best friend.

That - exactly! Peppers doesn't seem to have the capacity to think for himself, he leaves it to Carey to do that for him. And he doesn't seem to be much better... :lol:

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      The pattern of what we've done before, during and after the trade and selection of Bryce points to Tepper being involved in his selection and continued presence as the unquestioned starter. Pickett sucked in Philly, he just didn't start. If he hadn't sucked, Pittsburg wouldn't have gotten rid of him as a 1st round QB. Grier is so bad we already cut him once. He offers zero upside. There were FA QBs available last season that we could have gotten over Dalton who actually outperformed Bryce. The bar is low, ridiculously low. But we keep adding people who have proven they are below that bar.  Bryce is a bottom tier QB. We should be actively looking to improve the roster. You can say virtually no QB3s and few QB2s could challenge Bryce. That's true. But it also means there may be some that can. We're not looking for those guys. We should be. They could definitely challenge a KP or Grier.  The goal is winning seasons and winning the division. Relying on the Falcons to win so you can get into the playoffs with a losing record in a weak division isn't a recipe for success.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Man oh man talk about getting it wrong coming And going. Have two viable arms and don’t stay the course so you draft a noodle arm that stands on his tippy toes to see, they make us go the full 5 years waiting for him to pan out.

      I guess it's so we don't have to force a UDFA QB to be in serious consideration for QB3.  QB4 will be just a camp arm and maybe a stash on the PS if he looks half way decent. They will not bring in competition for Bryce if you haven't figured that out by now.  He's either going to sink or swim.  The next QB with a legit arm on this team will be when we move on from Bryce.  I think this is the ramifications from the Darnold/Mayfield debacle.
