The answer should be because "we are a bunch of boobs...". I bet that second round pick offered by NE last season looks pretty good right now. Instead Fox/Hurney retained a player, paid him 1 million a game to do nothing for a 1/2 season last year, then audition the 2nd half for his pending free agency this year.

The best front office in the business.

I really don't understand these kind of responses. The only person to blame for Peppers leaving and him leaving with the Panthers not having anything to show for it is Peppers. He could have resigned and we made him a very good offer or he could have "played the game" and enabled us to trade and get something for him. He chose to not do either one b/c he is a piece of garbage. We gave him the keys to the city and he couldn't even "play the game" and repay the debt to the Panthers and enable us to at least get something for him. And you blame this on Hurney.....come on!!!!

Name me a front office besides Redskins/Dallas/Raiders that would pay a player 21mil+ for one year..

Peppers will test free agency, realize no one will give him the record contract he and his agent somehow thinks he deserves, and come crawling back to Carolina who will offer him the best contract.

Count it.

If we've learned anything from this situation and professional athletes in general...egos would prevent that from ever occurring.

He'll sign with some team that is desperate and he will get paid.

ehhh, I think he actually liked it here this year. I wouldn't be surprised if their whole hold-out thing was to force a franchise tag or maybe increase his value. you could tell he liked Meeks system and was actually enjoying playing here.

I will literally be shocked if he isn't in a Panthers uniform come 2010 season. There aren't many front offices who'd take a chance on him. Raiders have seymour, Redskins just embarrassed themselves with that Haynesworth contract and their pass rush is already stacked, and Dallas can't sign him because of the final 8 rule.

He'll be a panther.

He won't sign with a team that is desperate because that team would likely be a bad team. If he signs with ANYONE it'll be the Patriots, but they just tagged Wilfork so they're already paying a lot. I just don't see someone taking the chance on a big contract with the lockout looming.

Why will you "literally be shocked"? :eek:

The Panthers supposedly did not reach out to Peppers at all this off-season -- they simply are ready to cut their ties with him. We'd be willing to pay him decent money for a long-term contract, I'm sure, but so would most teams in the NFL.

Peppers is done with the Panthers, and the Panthers are done with him. Simple as that.

supposedly. it's probably just a negotiation tactic by his agent. I'm just saying.. Panthers front office isn't stupid, they have a plan. All of us armchair GM's don't know what Hurney is thinking, and all of these so called 'sources' are just spouting speculation.

I want to hear exactly what Hurney says before I give a definite response about if he'll be here or not, I just believe he'll be in a Panthers uniform when it comes down to it.

I have one of the bigger man-crushes on Peppers out of the guys here, and even I have finally come to accept that the guy is gone. This is not a ploy, a negotiating tactic, or some odd way of adding excitement to the fans offseason. Julius Peppers, as of the first day of 2010 NFL free agency, will no longer be a Carolina Panther.

      Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      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.
