[Rod Butsecks]

(By Charles Chandler, [email protected]) The New Orleans Saints aren't lodging objections about Julius Peppers' possible exit from the Carolina Panthers.p/I'm not going to cry, said guard Carl Nicks. That guy's a game-changer, man.

call me a whiner, but all this pepperless talk pisses me off a tad. Id really hate to see him leave.

Seems everyone else I read about, especially other players seem to give him alot more respect than our fans and now our front office. I would like to know they at least are trying to work something out. if it doesn't happen then so be it. But right now they aren't even trying.

I'd rather him stay in Carolina than jump ship to Atlanta, FWIW.

[Baschski]

Fack the Saints.

Is 11-1/2 sacks worth 20+ mllion per year? 3 words for our cap problems... Delhomme, Gross and Gamble. Due to these contracts we not only lose Pep but Davis and a few other key players. It was a face-off between Pep and Gross, Gross won and we lost.

What's all this about Peppers leaving?

[DelhommesTheMan]

Wrong actually, Gross wants to be a Panther, Julius does not...Thats a big difference and the reason that gross is signed long term and Pep is on his way out..

Peps Leaving?!?!?!

Shouldn't it read "Peppers-less Panthers"?

[Tank]

Carolina officials have insisted that no decision has been made about Peppers' future. They must decide between Feb. 11 and 25 whether to franchise him.

Why is this so difficult? Offer him a long term contract. Otherwise work out a trade and get picks and players.
