Should the Panthers pay the max for Julius Peppers?


Rod Butsecks

Recommended Posts

iTom Sorensen:/i I've been writing since Carolina ended its season that Julius Peppers has played his final game for the Panthers. The reason I've been writing this is because Peppers has played his final game for the Panthers.p/So reading stories national and local about how the Panthers have moved on without Peppers is like reading stories that say, Charlotte drivers struggle with snow.

Glad it's titled "In My Opinion" because that's as uninformed/far off base article as I have ever seen written...

Speculation is not good journalism, but hey... I guess you have to have something to write about...

Maybe I'll start my own blog about what I think about Sorenson, Schefter, Gantt, and other so-called jornalists...

More speculation, yay...

In my opinion they should set up a long term contract with tons of upfront guaranteed money to take advantage of this uncapped year, then make it a reasonable contract for the years after. I'm sorry but you do everything you can to keep your best player on the team. The potential of this defense next year with a healthy Thomas Davis/Kemo/more experienced Charles Johnson/etc is flat out UNREAL.

Can they even set up a contract like that?

*JUST THROWING NUMBERS OUT THERE, NOTHING SPECIFIC*

20+ mil for this year, then a reasonable amount of money per year after, maybe 6-8 million after?

Negative... There are limitations that will prevent front-loaded contracts in the event of an uncapped year...

That was my idea as well, front load it to make him happy now, and make it easier to move/cut him in a few years when the time is right. Wouldn't be as big of a cap hit later on but I am not sure what the limitations are for doing this. Most contracts are set up the opposite, with the obvious axe coming by the time the big money is due.

Unfortunately, we can't really frontload him if it isn't by big escalators in incentives... There are rules in place that make teams have to pay the first year's salary plus at least a 30% increase...

I say make a deal for him, though, based on last year, I wouldn't hold my breath that we'll get much for him. I believe teams are going to wait and see if he gets his release. I can't imagine that we'd 'franchise' him again. They may be waiting to see if they only have to deal with him, not him AND the team. We were only 8-8 with him this past year, and he has a questionable work ethic, which is very well known around the league too. I say hope for the best but expect the worst, and use whatever money is saved if he is released to address other needs, including his replacement if necessary. The 'Cats don't need this to play out like Favre's situation every year, they need to make a decision, live with it, and move on. Period!!

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.
