About Peps and Jordan Gross. From nationalfootballpost.com

Mike Lombardi is a very well respected football insider.

Notes From Lombardi

FROM MICHAEL LOMBARDI:

FIVE THINGS I HEAR…

1. I hear the ‘Skins might open the big wallets to try and acquire Carolina offensive tackle Jordan Gross when he becomes a free agent in March. They will have a ton of competition.

2. I hear that defensive end Julius Peppers is not even close to a new deal with the Panthers and undoubtedly will be franchised, which will not sit very well with him. Mr. Peppers is planning his next move when that happens.

ah yes.... the annual "skins will throw money at their problems" story....

Peppers is close to a new deal, it has been reported that his offer would put him as the highest paid DE in the game, I don't know what else he would want more than that... once Peppers is inked, then there is a beautiful Franchise tag that can be placed on Gross if a deal is not struck... Lombardi is just living off the coattails of his family last name

Yeah, I kind of have a gut feeling that there might be some truth to this. However, I thought the 'skins had the interest in Pep.

the Skins thing though has been floating around since 2007(forgot it was 2009 for a minute), so I don't know about that, with the coach they have and with Jason Taylor I doubt they'd be so eager to dish out stupid size contracts for anyone at the moment.

I live in the DC area and one thing I have learned is to never doubt the stupidity of Redskin owner Daniel Snyder.

Typically, whenever the Skins give someone a big FA deal they turn out to suck anyway, so if you lose him to them he was never that good anyhow.

"FIVE THINGS I HEAR…"

yeah and I have heard my wife tell me ALL KINDS OF poo and even though I KNOW that I heard them - that has no actual relavance to what everyone else refers to as "truth" or "fact".

they will both be resigned...especially after a playoff appearance.

...SO...let us be done with this douchbaggery nonsense and shennanigans, and focus on the facts at hand...

PLAYOFFS!!! MUTHAfugAS!!!

(btw - aint nothing here that speaks "respected insider" to me whatsoever )

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
