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

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
