From an article on Fox Sports titled "As draft looms, watch out for these trades"

Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers

Summary: Peppers has requested a trade after seven seasons in Carolina. The Panthers have refused to oblige and kept him from free agency with use of a franchise tag even though he is tying up $16.6 million of salary cap space.

Likely compensation: At least a first-round pick. The Panthers are clearly unwilling to let one of the NFL's best pass rushers leave for a song.

Trade odds: Poor. Compensation is just half the challenge in any trade talks. The 29-year-old Peppers also will want a contract extension with huge guaranteed money (think at least $25 million — and that may be a conservative estimate). The only leverage Peppers may have at this point is a holdout that could extend well into the regular season. That would be a lose-lose situation for Peppers and the Panthers.

Pity that someone feels Peppers will finish here.

Unfortunately, that's probably true.

Wonder what piss-poor teams he'll get over half his sacks against this year...there are no Lions or Raiders on the schedule.

Love to see him gone.

For the millions made, it would be nice to see a player who does not get jacked-up by Maruice Jones Drew.

Hey, there are lots of teams that would kill to have one player produce 14.5 sacks against the piss poor teams they play. The Redskins can't buy a sack from the DE position, LOL.

Personally, I think Peppers will stay this year and we may look at trading him next year.

Peppers will finish his career in Carolina... After he plays this season under the tag, he will sign his final contract with us next offseason...

Then he is truly only concerned with money and doesn't mind hamstringing a franchise.

Are you thinking about Sean Merriman? because that happened to him too.

Jones-Drew is a beast in his own right, the MNF game against tampa this year had smitty jacking up DEs on the field but that doesn't make that DE shitty, it's just what happens sometimes

He's a human bowling ball. Julius is human. :smile:

I hope he stays. That means a lot less tinkering with the D before a legit run into the playoffs.

Like him now or not, he is very hard to replace and I'd much rather add to last years D than to subtract from it. They just need a new direction and they've gotten a new DC for that.

I see how some could say they wish they could implant Steve Smiths pure will, desire and fight into Pep. Smith is who he is because of those characteristics but Peppers is who he is because he's a huge, quick, strong, and freekishly athletic 280lb DE who can take over games at times and blocks kicks on the regular.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.

      I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
