You are 100% correct. I believe he is referring to the 7/15 deadline of restructuring franchise tag signees. If we don't restructure Peppers by Wednesday (long term deal) we can not restructure for 09 and we are stuck with the big hit.

sorry, ya thats what im talking about. the FO needs to work this deal out, cause we're going to need the space to sign the rookies.

Used to have a window for that NCbobcat. I thought so too. Apparently they revised that out of the CBA when they did the emergency extension in 2006. Props to carpanfan96 for pointing out my erroneous assumption in another thread.

I think it's less complicated now, then before when it had all the extra by rules and crap in it. Like if you sign this player from this day to this day his tag stays with him, but from this day to this day it doesn't.........

Now it's fairly simple, you have a set date to give the Tag out by and a set date to get a long term contract done. While the player has a set date to sign his Tag tender by.

is there a time on the deadline? meaning is it the 15th at midnight, or some other time?

If I remember correctly it's July 15th period. I don't know if it's got a time deadline on it or not. most likely given the rest of the Formats the league uses for time lines then I'd say Midnight on the 15th.

Thanks for pointing that out. I knew teams used to be able to extend at any point...no matter the scenario, but I guess that's changed.

I'm thinking that the team plans on giving Peps his payday and negotiates a new deal after the season. The reason is, I feel that Peps may or may NOT be in the future plans beyond 2009 depending on what happens this year.

Issues ranging from Peps performance, Brown's development, Super Bowl win, to cap space. I think it's not a done deal that the team is 100% committed to Peps in 2010.

The deadline according to the CBA is 4PM on July 15th.

The key text comes from Article XX, Section 2(k) of the CBA: "Any Club designating a Franchise Player shall have until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on July 15 of the League Year (or, if July 15 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the first Monday thereafter) for which the designation takes effect to sign the player to a multi-year contract or extension. After that date, the player may sign only a one-year Player Contract with his Prior Club for that season, and such Player Contract may not be extended until after the Club's last regular season game."

Interesting point of view and it makes for good conversation in an otherwise boring time of the year.

On the otherhand, I would argue that it is in the team's best interest to sign him to a long term deal

1. Leverage is currently leaning to the Panther's FO.

Because there was a lack of interest Peppers (and his agent) eventually came back to Carolina. They may be realizing that the grass is not any greener on the other side.

2. Peppers is an elite player

Why not lock him up if you can get him. Granted he seems like he takes plays off, and lacks enthusiasm from time to time but he is still a beast and the team is much better with him on the line. Letting him walk after 2009 leaves a hole that you need to fill and gambling on Brown, Johnson or (Insert whoever here) to live up to that is a big gamble.

3. 2009 Cap Space

If we could carve out a couple mil we might be able to sign some much needed experienced depth to the OL/DL

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
