We will know a whole lot more about the Peppers and Gross situations....

Free agency starts on the 27th, but I fully expect us to threaten to tag one of them by the 12th at the latest.. That will give us a week before the deadline of the 19th to work out a deal or a trade, and then place the tag to use on the other player... The key being that we don't actually tag the one we first deal with, because once they sign the tag, then I believe it is not able to be rescinded at that point...

It's going to get very interesting between the 5th (the first day you can tag players) and the 12th in my opinion... So in essence, we could actually only be a good 3-10 days away from knowing SOMETHING on either of those two fronts...

I would think we would have Gross extended before we franchise Pep otherwise the FO backs itself into a corner.

If it is only a few days left during the franchising period and we still have not extended Gross, then they have probably hit another snag which is not good news.

Yea, Peppers is gone and good riddance. We're not going to tag someone who doesn't want to be on the team. He already takes plays off; you can't have starters who takes games off because they're pissed or "hurt."

There is no way the Panthers let him walk for nothing. That would be a horrible decision.

Even if you did not get a 1st rounder for him (which I think we would), you would get something in return. If you do not franchise him, he walks with zero compensation to the Panthers.

This would be bad business to the nth degree.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
