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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
