If Peppers doesnt sign his tender prior to the draft which is next week wouldnt we then presume that the Panthers cant trade him during the draft. That would basically make clear to me that we will not be trading him for one of this years picks.

Am i wrong, or can Peppers and his agent work out a deal during the draft and have him sign his tender allowing the Panthers to negotiate all within a set time period thats not all that long? I dont forsee that, but i wouldnt rule it out..the first round is longggggggg...

I guess im holding my breath waiting to see peppers sign any day now..

Peppers hasn't signed his paperwork yet, so no one can do anything... doesn't that kinda mean Pep doesn't have a job?

I still doing get that. If he's not signed with us, and he's not gone anywhere else..

Franchise tag or not... if he's not signed anything, nothing has actually changed right?

He's still 'free' to do what he wants... the Panthers can't do anything about it... but, because he's not signed, no one can approach him either?

The longer this has gone on, the more I wonder if someone doesn't know something about the process.

A non-exclusive franchise player may negotiate with other NFL teams, but if he signs an offer sheet from another team, the original team has a right to match the terms of that offer, or if it does not match the offer and thus loses the player, is entitled to receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.

Now, that all banks on the tendered franchise player actually signing his offer sheet with his original team first.

Like I have said all along, we hold the leverage. Julius knows how bad we want him to remain a Panther.

He is faced with the dilemma of signing the tender and being guaranteed that any offer he accepts elsewhere that does not involve adequate compensation for us will be matched and he will remain a Panther..

OR

...not signing the tender, taking a year off football, coming back as a 30 year old "off of the street" Free Agent a year after leaving the football field and a team that was loyal to him from the beginning of his career, and having the pick of his team...

Now then, if you are an athlete who's heart, loyalty, motor, and motivation has been questioned since you came into the league, which of those options makes the best statement to potential employers?

Its called having a agent that thinks he knows everything but really he is just pulling poo out of his arse and hoping it sticks.

IF........he chooses to sit out, are we still on the hook to pay him the 17 mil, and will it still count against us even if he doesn't play?

Is that how it is, or would we get some relief on the matter? I mean if he isn't playing, he isn't getting paid, right?

How does that work?

The point of thsi thread isnt if he doesnt sign...its that the Panthers cannot trade Peppers during the draft if he doesnt sign his tender this week. So what im asking is if im wrong to assume that..or is it a remote possibilty that he can sign and trade within the little time you have before picks in the first round..

Peppers has until July something to sign the tender and play for us next season for the $17 mil... If he sits out of football completely, if I am not mistaken, we don't have to pay him anything...

Also, I wanted to add this to show that Peppers is finding out he isn't worth what he thinks he is to most teams he wants to play for...

The Steelers have no interest according to defensive line coach John Mitchell, “We have the 32nd pick in the draft,” he says, “and we wouldn’t take him.”

If he really wanted to leave town so bad, he'd sign his tender... and if Carl Carey knew anything about good business practice, he would advise his client of this...

If he doesn't sign he doesn't get paid. The thing about him is that he doesn't need this year for accrued FA time so he could theoretically "afford" to sit out the whole year.

Ok, no play, no pay, get that part.

Does that free up the 17 mil for us to use, or does it STILL count against our cap?

Sorry for being so uninformed about this stuff.

He and Carey could bring the deal to the table as the team wanting to trade is on the clock... However, think of it as you being that team on the clock (especially with less time in each round now).. Would you risk missing out on your draft pick because the Panthers want to look over the terms of a trade?... You could potentially drop a few spots in the draft while you waited for us to accept...

If Peppers doesn't sign the tender by Draft Saturday morning, you can pretty much bet that he won't be traded during the draft.

Don't worry though, I'm hearing we'll be making a move into the first round (no, that doesn't really mean it will involve Pep)...

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
