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)

This is one of the more logical posts I have read. The only way Pep gets traded on draft day, is if there is a long-term deal already negotiated with a team. I do not think it is smart to keep on the payroll at this huge tag number, and the Panthers/Hurney do not want him on the roster at that number. In fact, Hurney only released a statement saying that he thinks Peppers will be playing as a Panther next season, because he wants to light a fire under Peppers ass.

None of the above, he will be a Panther this coming year... Panthers want 2 1st round picks for him and they're not going to get that (which they've known all along).

I suspect they will keep him this year while they develop/acquire more talent on the DL and then trade him next year for a 1st round pick, so they can package their 2 1st round picks and move way up in the draft to land one of the nice QB prospects expected to come out.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
