Just finished doing some research and I think I know what Peppers is doing. He has til July 22nd to try and get traded. If past that point he doesnt get traded the only team he can sign with is the Panthers for 1 year. Couple years ago Asante Samuals and Lance Briggs held out and got stipulations in their contracts that if they signed the 1 year tender that they would not get franchised next year. I can see that coming with Peppers. Now the team doesnt have to do that they can just let him sit out a year and franchise him again next year if they want.

A "non-exclusive" franchise player must be offered a one-year contract for an amount no less than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position in the previous year, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, whichever is greater.

So if Peppers does not play in 2009 season, we can techincally tag him in 2010 for the amount of the top five salaries at the DE position.. because his 2009 salary would effectively be $0. Thus, we franchise tag him for less than $17 million. Of course, this could only happen if he sits out the entire 2009 season. But, if he did sign the $17million tag, then we would have to tag him at about $20 million next season.

This is the fact. Peppers cant sit out this year because he will be 30 next year and everyone knows your stock takes a huge hit when that rolls around. No team is gonna invest in him long term if he wants to make a switch and that apparent because no one even sniff at him this off-season. The fact remains signing a long term deal with the Panthers would be the best thing he could do. Not saying he's gonna do that but no team is gonna give him loads of money and a long term deal except us.

You never know he might. Look at it this way would you want him to sit out a year maybe not play the next year. Or give him the guarantee that if he plays this year you wont franchise him next year. Honestly we got alot out of Peppers sure some draft picks would be nice but letting him walk after this season I wouldnt mind.

The dude is weird so anythings possible but if anything I would think the panthers would want him to be committed at least 2 years. Right now he has really no leverage and most teams have not even blinked twice at him. If I had to make a guess i would go with JOAT and say he signs long term because he knows no one will give him what he wants.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
