From the Rocky Mount Telegram: “If Peppers wants to leave, let him.”

So carolinarolls, I guess you’re not the only one who thinks we should let Pepp walk. :)

http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/sports/nunery-if-peppers-wants-to-leave-let-him-468681.html

The Panthers have to look within and decide whether it makes sense to keep a player who doesn’t want to be there or, at the very least, earn some top draft picks by trading Peppers. It doesn’t seem as Carolina is capable of making Peppers change his mind. An unhappy player is usually an unproductive player.

Sort of a simplistic view of the situation, as I’d bet that if the Panthers can acquire some top draft picks (and I’m not talking about two firsts) we’d be willing to deal Peppers.

Not the most enlightening article, but I just figured we could all use a little more Peppers discussion. :rolleyes:

They aren't saying let him go for nothing...

Carolina needs to make a move before April’s draft.

Doesn't really put them in Carolinarolls' camp.

Now I have a camp?

lol

It's too late to let him go for nothing. He's been tagged. he should have been let go for nothing and we should have tagged Gross again. With solid RB's we should be looking for a stud LT in the next year or two instead of locking up Gross and tagging a guy that wants out, limits the trade process of him, and essentially handcuffs us all Spring and makes us scramble around saving cap room in a time when every other team in the league is dealing with a surplus.

but I digress

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
