You're the one getting upset over this. IT'S A BUSINESS. In other words, Peppers signed a contract...he and the Panthers both fulfilled their ends of that contract. The contract is now up. Peppers is a free agent and can do what he wants. From a business standpoint both parties, Peppers and the Panthers, have an obligation to only themselves in meeting their own individual needs. Peppers has made up his mind and is leaving. The Panthers are taking action by placing the franchise tag on him. Now we wait and see what happens.

You can cross your eyes, hold your breath, and stomp your feet...it changes nothing.

Peppers was never a free agent.

Yeah, because we placed the franchise tag on him...in any case I'm not going to piss on him because he wants to play somewhere else. I'd rather have players that want to be here. I'm not going to hold it against him, he served his time and played well for us. Hopefully we get what we need in return for shipping him out.

Money isn't the issue for him numbnuts. He hates you too...move on and stop torturing yourself.

While I agree that we shouldn't hate on Peppers for wanting to go elsewhere, it would probably be better for the organization (and himself for that matter) to keep all the crap he is saying on the inside.

Also, why do you always have to insult people when they disagree with you? It's very immature.

What has Peppers' said that is so bad? I've seen way worse from other players. I don't think anything he has said will have any impact whatsoever on what kind of deal we get for shipping him out.

I'm assuming he's a big boy, since he was being very insulting to a player that has done a lot for us. I usually do it on a case by case basis.

Now the real question begins.... Who is the likely trade partner for Peppers?

I hope we go after him. We just tagged Dunta Robinson probably to make room for Peppers. I hope the Panthers didn't tag him with the exclusive rights tag. No team is going to give up 2 first rounders and still have to pay him. Take the Texans 15th rounder and be happy. Peppers should have been a Texan from day one anyway.

Take what I say here with /grainofsalt.

Speaking recently with a friend of mine who played for and still has a good relationship with Pep's high school coach, he informed me that the coach told Pep at the beginning of the year (Based on his previous year's performance) that he was playing like garbage and he needed to shape up (Appairently Pep still has close ties with his HS coach and respects his opinion) Well with all the recent goings on and the statement released by Carey, the coach once again spoke with him, and basically told him that the system isn't what's holding him back, it's Pep thats holding Pep back, and that he needed to just try harder, to which Pep basically said "I don't want to anymore."

IF what I just posted is to be believed (I don't think its very far outside the realm of possibility) It tells me Pep wants big money for little effort, it has nothing to do with becoming an "elite" player as he put it, it has to do with him not wanting to work as hard and be put into a situation/system that'll get him the money he wants and to put in the least amount of effort.

Honestly, Pep is a freak athlete, but he's dumb as a post, so he does whatever his agent tells him to do. Do I wish the Panther's could keep him? yes, if he'd live up to his true potential, realize he has to work at it and bring it every single game. But if he really wants a system that'll let him get his stats and not have to work as hard for it, more power to him, let him get his stats, The Panthers will enjoy a championship without him.

As stated, /grainofsalt.

If it was about money, he would've signed the contract that would've made him the highest paid defensive player in the league.

Trashing the guy because he wants a change of scenery is another. Do you honestly think his prime motivation for looking elsewhere is to piss you and others off? The guy doesn't think he's able to maximize his potential here. Whether that evaluation is right or wrong isn't the point.

Hell, I'm pissed about it but at the same time I can understand where he's coming from. Take a course in psychology if you're having a hard time dealing with this.

Let's get the most we can out of the situation and move on.

If my company wanted to make me the highest paid person in the world at what I do, and then I basically told them to shove it because they weren't putting me in a position to maximize my potential and then left...I would expect for there to be some hard feelings from people associated with the organization.
