Actually the article didn't say Hurney was looking for 2 1st rounders to trade Peppers.

In other words if another team wants him, they will have to go about aquiring him through the rules set up in the CBA pertaining to signing a franchised player. Peppers is now going to have to convince a team to part with 2 1st round picks in order to not play in Carolina next season. He better be ready to sign a contract for about half of what that Panthers offered him for that to happen.

And yes, I love how Hurney is handling this. He's not even considering trading Peppers which is going to drive Peppers price down just like that "list" and other comments from Peppers almost drove down the Panthers trade value of Peppers. Very nice work today in the Panthers front office.

Right under that is Hurney isn't thinking of trading peppers, so he pretty much said that to get peppers we want two first.

No he didn't he said no trades are on the table and any team is free to sign Pepers under the CBA agreement of two firs rounder compensation. This is a captain obvious statement.

He's not thinking trade right now, regardless any list of four teams. Directly from the blog. I take it that means that at the moment the panthers aren't interested in trading peppers.

Exactly what my first post you quoted said, and exactly what I and mountainpantherfan stated twice more. Hurney isn't entertaining trades. The two first rounders are what any team that signs peppers without working a trade with the Panthers would owe in compensation under the franchise tag defenition in the CBA.

His quote was most likely meant as a message to Peppers you're in for a fight.

Anyone get the feeling that a conversation like this is happening right now...

Peppers: What the hell Carney? You said there was no way for the team to franchise me because they couldn't sign Gross in enough time. Now I said all those things you told me to say and Hurney is going to **** me up the *** on this deal. What the hell are we going to do now?

Carney: ???? I've got somewhere to be. See you in a couple of day....
