Gantt: Hurney looking for two firsts

Thats more than Jared Allen, who is not known for taking plays/games/seasons off.

However Allen did have two DUI's, so it could happen.

These days, I can't imagine that anyone would trade two 1's for pep though.

It's a strategy.

If we say Peppers is worth a first and a third.. we ask for 2 firsts.. people might give us a first and a second to try to meet in the middle.

Here's the latest from Gantt's blog:

During a conference call, Panthers GM Marty Hurney is stressing the notion that they're waiting for franchise-tagged DE Julius Peppers to solicit offers, and if anyone wants to pony up the two first-round picks required under the CBA, they're willing to consider matching or not.

He's not thinking trade right now, regardless any list of four teams.

After Peppers played hardball yesterday, it's their turn now.

Gnatt kinda mis represented this one. The required compensation for signing a franchised player without working a trade with the team that owns the players rights are two first rounders.

Hurney just stated the obvious any team can sign him for two first round pics without even consulting the Panthers.

We'll see how it works out though. He wanted a first rounder for Jenk originally, turned down a second in the process, and then had to settle for a third. Hope that doesn't happen with Pep.

That was a years time. He first asked for a 1st rounder in 07 then when things got worse had to take a 3rd and also cause Jenk didnt make the Pro bowl.
