No long-term deal likely for Peppers

It appears the Carolina Panthers and defensive end Julius Peppers will not agree to a long-term deal before Wednesday's 4 p.m. deadline, meaning the two sides could be headed to another offseason standoff next January.

NFL teams have until Wednesday's deadline to sign players upon whom they placed their franchise tag earlier this year. Teams who don't get a contract deal done by the deadline aren't permitted to negotiate with those players again until after the 2009 season.

Kansas City beat the deadline today by completing a deal with quarterback Matt Cassell, who was New England's franchise player and was traded to the Chiefs after signing his one-year tender.

Indications strongly point to no new contract between Peppers and the Panthers. Hopes for a new deal were raised last month when Peppers said through his agent that he was open to considering a long-term extension after signing the one-year contract tender of $16.683 million.

This was my expected outcome with such short time to work out a deal... Anyone expecting a deal to be done either knows something no one else does, or more likely, had extremely too high of expectations..

A piece of advice for those that are going to read too much into this... just sit back and get ready for a great season. Speculation at this stage about next year is pointless.

I love how these guys always say crap like...

and then fill the rest of the story with a bunch of fluff. Ummm... OK, what indications? Do you have a real reason to think this won't happen or are you just talking out of your ass?

Personally, I think it'll happen but it's less than 24 hours before the deadline so no need to jump to any conclusions. I'll just wait and see.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
