Peppers is gone. If not this year, next year. I dont think its wise to hold on to a player who doesnt want to be around. JP tried to strongarm his way outta Carolina and it hasnt worked, but the guy wants out. If not for our strong dependence on him on the defensive side of the ball he would probably be gone. I still think he's outta here on draft day.

I would say by Friday if at all. I can't imagine any team trading for Peppers on draft day , then worrying about working at an agreeable contract later.

And if Pep's agent does have a potential deal worked out with another team I can't see the trade not already happening because the Panthers were waiting for their suitor's teams draft pick to see if one particular player was still on the board.

Or it could all be in place to be announced in the ten minute window in the first round so no other team knows we have the pick and jumps ahead of us for the player we want. (Yeah right)

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
