As much as I love the guy and what he has done for our organization, there have to be some worries about paying a guy 80-90 million bucks when the success of the DL is based on a group of guys rather than just one player.

However, I do believe that he is the best DE in the NFL and without him our defense will severely suffer in not having him.

So the two options are keeping him and continuing to base our defense around him

Or

Tagging him and trading him most likely for multiple first round draft picks...There is not a defensive player in the entire draft that could make an impact like him but if we are serious about starting to groom a talented QB then this could be what allows us to do so. When all is said and done we would still have the best MLB in the league, an extremely talented (yet underachieving) secondary, and a lot of other guys that are good impact players.

Just gotta wonder what kind of steps backwards our defense would take without him?? IMO tho if we get rid of Pep we might as well get rid of Jake and start looking toward the future.

The front office is not about to just let him "walk." He is worth too much to do so...

I gotta think he's gonna get the tag... and I think he knows it... but at 17 mil he's prolly not too upset about it...

They could work out a deal tho if they can guarantee him enough money.

Pep is a great DE when he wants. He gets doubled alot and the coaches don't move him enough to keep OLs confused. Fox won't make the moves to get rid of Jake and Pep even though that is really the only way Carolina has a shot at fixing the QB problem. However, neither Cowher or Shott has the loyalty to these two that is holding this team back.

If it came down to Gross or Peppers, I would rather have Gross.

really....Jordan"FALSE START" Gross over Pepp?

forced fumbles...how man las season?

sacks...how many did he have LAST season?

the man steps his game up dramatically in 1 season..and y'all STILL ain't satisfied

IF it works out that Pepp isn't a Panther...you'll definitely see how much he's missed..OTHER teams have based their defense and offense off of Julius Peppers..not a Jordan Gross.

Man some of you guys are really stupid if you think the team is better off without Peppers. Johnson can't take his spot, we don't have a first round pick and for the price of other defensive ends on the market we won't get better value than Peppers. Wake up to yourselves./

1. Re-sign Gross long-term.

2. Franchise Peppers

3. Trade Peppers for 1st & 3rd round pick (which is what Jared Allen got, assume that's would Pep would get)

There's not going to be another defensive end come around who's ready to put up 14.5 sacks and defend the run better than any other in the NFL...

First round pick, first overall pick, if the team drafts a defensive end, our defense is 3 years away from being competitive three years, at least.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
