if I wanted to really be traded to a team I wanted to go to though....there's no real clear cut answer

so why as Julius Peppers would you be getting flamed on?

knowing that the backup is sitting there waiting and knowing that if a trade for two firsts to the cellar pops up you are gonna have to show your ass and block it because of your age, why would it be in your best interest to sign early...as Julius Peppers?

My take on why he hasn't signed....

He's letting his agent negotiate trades with teams he wants to go to. If something can be worked out, he'll sign and then be traded. If not he waits till after the draft, signs and plays a year for the Panthers. This helps ensure the Panthers don't ship him to a team he doesn't want to play for.

that wouldn't happen anyway. he can block a trade and no team (other than us) is going to want to go through all that hassle only to pick up an expensive player like peppers who doesn't want to be there.

peppers could block a trade the way lucas did. hurney would know this and would get a deal done that would make all parties happy.

only way that all parties will be happy is if peppers signs the tender.

in a dream world yes. Evidently peppers does not buy into your philosophy. If peppers "blocks" a trade he stands to lose much more that Lucas. If it is clear to the NFL that he wants to go to a contender and will settle for nothing less, the competition narrows and the offers shrink considerably because this information just gave them all another chip in the game.

you have faith that Hurney can get something done that suits you more than your own agent then...and you are not willing to give your own agent two months to work it out....right?

i see what your saying. but it just seems that it would make things alot easier on both parties if he signs. IMO

Yeah, but does he really want to demand a trade and then when the Panthers have a trade lined up declare he won't be traded to that team. Also, a team could just take the chance that once traded he will give in and play rather than possibly ruin his career. Either way, not signing keeps the ball in his court a little bit more and just lets him avoid those situations altogether.

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
