There HAS to be a trade coming with Peppers.

Is his value going to be that much greater NEXT year than this?

The Panthers AND Peppers could lose out next year if either he coasts for the season, hurts his value and the teams performance.

Secondly, lets say he plays thru, gets injured. Not good for either again.

I think he is going to get moved.

The safe and value route is trade for a 1st that will be high and possibly a 2nd depending on who it is.

You get your next DL for a few years in Rd 1, qb a little earlier and whatever after that.

Just too bad the asking price is way too steep on Peppers. He's talented for sure but no one will pay a premium on a 29 year old player. Had this situation been going on 3 years ago, Peppers value would be justified with the Panthers asking price.

The Panthers put themself in this bind and I hope they continue to suffer from it...

That, is not true. They tried to avoid all this poo at the beginning of the season. No this is all on Peppers. But as usual you want to blame everything on the The FO and you are wrong.....again.

I don't get it. Your reasons behind saying Peppers HAS to be traded is that he might get hurt or have a bad year next year? If anything, the cap space freed up by extending Delhomme makes keeping him even more of a viable option.

I'm not saying he definitely won't be traded. I think it has alot to do with what offers we get. If no good offers surface, I think we'd be happy to have him for '09 even if it means his value is a bit lower next offseason due to being a year older.

Yep. And he is just trying to antagonize.

    • Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.  
    • what's a lie?
    • I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
