NFL Network is reporting...

....that Peppers is now open to signing a long term contract and the Panthers are working toward this end. The fellow who is apparently replacing Scheter as the inside info reporter said that he has solid knowledge that this is being discussed.

Look for this to be in the range of Haynesworth contract which boiled down to 4 yr/$48 million with $41 mil guarenteed. My guess is a $105 million contract which fleshes out at 4 yr/ $50 million with $44 million guaranteed.

Lets do it. Peppers will get another 40+ sacks to add to his total and possibly be the first Panther to enter the HOF. And I will have to make the trip to Canton to see it. Could we have a HOF Huddle Tailgate in Canton before the ceremony?

i really don't like the idea of an uncapped year because I'm afraid Carolina, as a small market team, won't be able to compete in year and out for the championship. But if we lock him up with gaurenteed 12 mil a year for 4 or 5 years...we may handcuff ourselves as a franchise if the NFL doesn't become uncapped. On the other hand, if we can afford 17 mil in a capped year, maybe it isn't a big deal as long as Pep plays well.

I'm pretty skeptical about fantasy's played out by pussy hurt fans. He's a Panther, just what Hurney/ Fox wanted, get used to it...

Do any of you guys ever read the comments on the observers blog....every single guy on there is planing on booing him, and I guess are pulling for him to fail as a player. It's amazingly retarded.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
