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 strato · Posted

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
