Peppers wants out.

[stankowalski]

We'll get 2 players for what he costs.

Great...and what are we going to do with those guys? I don't care how many guys we get for Pep, they aren't going to help the team win games more than Pep. You don't get better by getting rid of a great player.

[mountainpantherfan]

You sir are in denial. Dont you think if it was just Turd the Panthers would already make sure Peppers knew he was getting fired?

There is something more to it than just that. He might just want a change of scenery he has been here for 7 years.

I agree. Its either Fox or it could be JR. I don't think Peppers cared too much when the Big Cat called him out at Minter's retirement press conference.

The next two months are going to be very interesting in Panther country to say the least.

missed that. what was said?

[charlottenian]

There will be a lot of faces like this next year when we are getting ass pounded thanks to not having Gross or Peppers

[Mr. Scot]

Hahahahahaha.

Wromg.

He likes making 17 mil a year..., the scheme has nothing to do with it.

It is all about $$$.

And before u say "well we offered him blah blah blah... "

Guaranteed $$ is all that talks in this NFL... he wants is all...

later Pep.

That's possible. Gantt says he believes him though (latest blog entry).

He'd be gone either way.

[CBDellinger]

Yeah lets keep the malcontent guy who refuses to be a leader despite being paid like one.

When u think of the Philly D who do you think of?

How much does Brian Dawkins make?

What % is that of the salary cap?

I have LOVED Pep and the things he has done... but we WILL move on and we WILL be better.

It's not about one player it is about the TEAM!

[mountainpantherfan]

I don't remember exactly what was said but JR pretty much called Peppers out for not being a leader on the team. Or at least that was the way most took what he said.

[Kettle]

it is about the team for sure. seems to me Pep wants to be part of a great one. not one that plays soft most of the time, and does just enough to get by

[SouthernBelle]

I don't think I've ever felt this sad as a Panther fan. I don't want Pep to leave.

Guessing you subscribe to the old adage that when a guy says "it's not about the money", it's all about the money

That's usually true. Might be true here too. I'm just not dead certain.

[capfolly]

If you ask me we should sign Gross, Franchise Peppers, then see if we could sign Albert Haynesworth and trade Julius Peppers for Tennesses Rookie DE Jacob Ford(7 sacks and started only 3 games), or the giants Mathias Kewanuka(when Osi comes back) and maybe a 3rd round pick. We need to get at least an above average DE with the trade. Then Move Charles Johnson to the other end spot.

I agree with everthing you said. I was one of the few that wanted to trade Peppers last offseason. But his comments about utilizing his potentiel and such has me worried. Not because we are going to lose Pep as much as this just further re-enforces the notion that Fox and the team just are too subrun to fix the obvious problems with this team.

[spartan_pantherfan]

Well lets tag him and get what we can.

it really sucks, but thats how its gotta be.

I really want fox and turdo gone, but that does not look like its happening ( atleast not fox, which IMO means no matter who comes in at DC it will be the same nonsense )

a first and a second or third + some low end picks would be great I guess.

anyone saying 2 firsts is just crazy.

and to be honest, I loved the dude while he was here, but I hope he gets traded to the likes to the raiders, just because if he goes to a good team and helps them win, its going to sting that much more.

but atleast he was upfront with it and never became a locker room malcontent.

I mean what evidence is there otherwise?

I guess we will find out here shortly if he goes to a serious contender for a serious discount OR to a wanna be/never will for a monster deal...

Time WILL tell...
