Hurney was absolutely correct to tag Peppers, but for the wrong reason. Peppers was offered the best contract possible, and he turned it down. Peppers said he wanted to leave, well we cant let him go for nothing. Hurney should have been looking to deal Peppers as soon as he said publicly he wanted out of here.

A lot of people thought something was going to happen on draft day-it didnt.

Peppers said he was willing to be traded to FOUR other teams.

Who are the two other teams??!! NE,Dallas and who?

Why let him walk over making a deal with one of the four teams?

We don't want to trade him to an NFC team if at all possible , and with our schedule this year I think we would want to avoid trading Peppers to the AFC east.

Ok, that two gone, who other the other two teams?

Why not talk to Peppers and let him know we would be willing to look at offers from the four teams that he has listed?

We could at least get a solid DT at half Pepper's price and some draft picks.

Forget about the two #1 picks. Get maybe a player, and a #1 and #2 pick.

Speculation has been Washington and Philly for the other two teams. Who says Hurney hasn't been trying to deal Peppers? Dallas really had nothing to offer with us no first day picks, and a lack of cap space (since they are going to be working on a mega deal to resign DeMarcus Ware). New England didn't want to pay Peppers twice as much as Tom Brady for one season, when it's unclear on whether he would fit in their system. The fact is that Peppers (probably with input from Carey) overestimated the market for him. From what I've heard, we we were seeking a first and third round pick and got no such offer.

Speculation has been ..........

I thought it was reported that 3 of the teams were in the NFC, but I may be wrong.

Who knows... Here is your answer: Nobody... (outside of Pep and Carey, and perhaps Hurney?)

As for continuing this thread with speculation....

For the 10,000th time...Hurney can't deal Peppers until he signs his tender. Only Peppers and his "agent" can negotiate a trade until he signs on the dotted line.

Pretty much sums it up...

Ok....wanting to let Peppers walk is an ok idea, and not talking to his agent about the four teams he wants play for isnt? :confused:

There is no reason we cant talk to Pepp's agent and tell them we would be willing to take another look at the four teams he requested. Who are the other two teams?

Peppers agent read way to much hype as to Peppers potential vs his performance. He is not the disruptive force game in game out as some would make you believe. LT was a disruptive force week by week that every team had to game plan for, Peppers is not.

I think Hurney has been smart, his options to date have been limited. Peppers is tainted because of how this has been handled by his agent.

I say Hurney ends up with a deal that still gives him what the team needs, Peppers off the payroll and a shot at several impact players paid for with Peppers attempted hostage money. I say don't let the door hit him in the ass, but the Big Cats footprint on it would be fine by me.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
