Peppers Intentions...

I believe Pep will sign a contract after the season is over. If he really wanted out of Charlotte then I would think we'd know that by now. The Panthers originally drafted him and we have one of the best and classiest organizations in the NFL. He has deep roots here and is well liked in the community. It's really an ideal fit and I hope he remembers that when he finally makes a decision.

One comment about money - while it's true that it seems obscene the amount of money these guys make however you have to keep in mind that the NFL is an extreme sport and most of these guys will only be in their prime for a few years and they MUST capitalize on large contracts ASAP - cause you never know when that one hit will end their career and the contracts disappear. What are these guys going to do when their football careers are over? Sure some go on to commentate, or a few will start successful businesses however lots of them only know football and don't have the skills to compete outside the football field.

Look at Pep - I don't see him commentating on TV after football like Strahan did. He's quiet and shy and likes to stay out of the limelight. I have no idea if he has any business sense but I don't blame him for wanting as much as possible because let's face it - he's at his prime and this next contract will probably be his best one and it's downhill after that.

Let's hope Pep isn't as greedy and breaks out heart over a couple million on a huge contract (anyone remember Alonzo Mourning? I stopped watch NBA after that and never came back to that sport. What's the difference between 110M and 114M?). I'll be watching closely to see how all this pans out.

GO PANTHERS!!

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
