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.
