Pep needs to sign and get his ass ready.

I mean if he can turn a undersized Pass rusher in Freeney into a top DE what about a freak like Peppers. I still dont get what the big deal with the 3-4 is with Peppers anyway. I mean he still will rush the passer and still will be doubled. I could not blame him for not wanting to work under Trgocrap but he has a real DC now.

He needs to sign his tender regardless of if he wants to play for us :mad:. If he's just worried about being traded to a place he doesn't want to go, couldn't they just put something in his contract to prevent that from happening? Something needs to happen, this situation isn't good for anyone.

Anyone who would trade for Pep under the tender # and one year contract is nutso, IMO. That's the only way he wouldn't have a say in the trade really, is if a team was willing to swallow that 17 large for a year ALONG WITH giving the Panthers what they want in draft picks while also risking losing him the following year or be willing to FT him there at 20 large. If he signs it and they want to trade him somewhere he doesn't want to go, he and his agent merely refuse to redo the tender # into a multi year deal. The "downside" for Pep is that he would then be "stuck" in Carolina for the year where he doesn't want to be. But it would be only 1 year unlike getting traded to Detroit or something under a multi year deal.

Let's face it, no one except Matt Cassel that I know of, even with a REASONABLE tag #, has ever gotten traded under the tag contract.

Yep, it's effing sad Peppers won't do for Carolina (sign a multi-year extension at a 2009 comparatively cap friendly figure) what he will do for another team should a trade ever come to fruition. :frown2::sad::ma::mad2:

I have to wonder how Julius Peppers would do with Brian Baker all over him (and you can bet he would be).

How effective a DL Coach Baker turns out to be still remains to be seen, but one thing I can tell you. He isn't shy, and he will rip you in a heartbeat.

If Peppers joins the team, I hope he isn't very attached to his current a--hole, because Baker is likely to tear him a new one.

Guys that are former DE's that had to convert to LB in a 3-4 have commented on how they always wanted to put their hand on the ground to be a 4-3 rush end. Julius has it backwards..I guess he wants to cover TE's and play zone 40% of the time. Sure he will be pass rushing but it is not like he would rush on every play....I don't know.

This could be a mid-life crisis for him.....

In my experience, "in a shell" shy types don't do well with those types of bosses/coaches.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
