Peppers saga isn't over in Carolina

Just when I was thinking the Julius Peppers saga was over and the defensive end and the Carolina Panthers would live happily ever after, they might not.

The Panthers, who've been letting Peppers and his agent seemingly steer the events of the offseason, are behind the wheel again. By trading their 2010 first-round pick to San Francisco to get Florida State defensive end Everette Brown in the second round (43rd overall) the Panthers now appear to have the upper hand.

Brown wasn't drafted to replace Tyler Brayton or Charles Johnson. He was drafted to replace Peppers, whether it's now or in a year. That's going to play out in the slow, deliberate manner coach John Fox and Marty Hurney like to do business.

Here we go again.

    • Thanks for bringing out the truth!
    • It's very foolish on Rozier's part considering the money he was already making. But something like this isn't going to go away as the biggest sports leagues continue to directly do business with sports betting companies. It's just layers and layers of hypocrisy.
    • Quick Summary Table Position Ideal Round Range Notes Safety (S) 2nd–3rd Best value and depth here Center (C) 3rd–4th Often overlooked; steady starter range Guard (G) 2nd–4th High floor in 2nd–3rd rounds Linebacker (LB) 1st–3rd Scheme-dependent; 2nd–3rd best value   -- I was playing around on Chat GTP today and asked them to find the ideal round to draft the above positions. We're pretty good at guard so I know we aren't too concerned with those spots. I did pay attention to the S, C, and LB data. We picked 2 LB's in those rounds in 2025, but prior to that had we drafted LB on Day 1 or Day 2 since 2020 besides Tevin Wallace? We haven't picked a Safety as high as round 2 since Mike Minter. But what about the 3rd round? I can't think of any. We got Ryan Kalil in Round 2. I'm pretty sure we haven't picked one on Day 2 since. Am I right on this? I'd love to see us use are top 3 picks in 2026 to grab a LB (or 2), a Safety, and may be even a Center. Although, I think Cade Mays has done ok for a 6th rounder and could improve with more playing time and a D-lineman might be a better prospect for team overall.
