NFL.com Peppers/Patriots *possible* update

[Fireball77]

I don't know, I just feel that even a high second rounder would be a rip-off. Throw in Ty Warren in addition to the second rounder and DT looks a little less bleak and this deal looks a little bit sweeter.

I could POSSIBLY see them doing something with Jarvis Green, but not Ty. And I think if they would do that (and I don't think it's likely) they would want a pick form Carolina too. I do think either of those guys could help a bunch @ DE. Jarvis has more 4-3 experience though (he's usually the guy they put in @ DE when they use a 4-3 while Warren is their base 3-4 LDE). I don't think it's supposed to be a good year for 3-4 DEs in the draft so I really think that no other player will be involved.

i'm not crazy about just the pick either. it's better than nothing but still....he's worth more than that to both organizations. add in a DT or another day one pick and i'd feel a little better but still we would be getting taken advantage of.

btw...peppers saying he doesn't want to do anything that would hurt the panthers...this would. if he and his agent can work out something better to offer the panthers from the pats or whoever, he needs to do it.

It would be nice to see them throw some sort of "kicker" in- I.E. player or our lost 4th round pick back.

"But one of the things (the Patriots) are looking at is the fact that, in passing situations, they can have Peppers up front with (Richard) Seymour and (Jarvis) Green. That makes it easier for them to take (nose tackle Vince) Wilfork out of the game in (passing situations) and just play him on running downs."

People are forgetting that THIS IS GREAT FOR THE PANTHERS!!!!

(not the deal itself, but the media)

Now other teams who were "thinking" pepper will start to THINK SERIOUS- Which "could" increase our chances of getting more for him

think people think

[carolinarolls]

how quickly can this get done?

this is much better than the Cutler scenario.

take it take it take it

[damo md panthers fan]

I think it's great the way it is. Anything else would be a bonus. I can't wait for the ink to hit the paper.

Just the one 2nd rounder? wow. I hope Hurney at least gets a 3rd too. really I'd be thrilled with 2 of their 3 2nd rounders. I dunno. We will see how it plays out.

[goodlay]

Well the beauty of it is, it's an early second round pick, so we still get a good prospect, without having to fork over the big bucks. I wouldn't mind if this happened, it would be nice for this mess to be over with, and his 17 million dollar salary would be off our hands.

[PantherExpress]

I still feel its not a good deal for us. Saving the money is one thing, but who can you spend it on? Who can we get with that 2nd round pick to improve the d-line?

[tarheelpride]

they better throw in that pretty #25 (?) pick they're sitting on too. i don't care if they set a precedence for franchise players by only getting a 2nd for cassel!!!!

[Squirrel]

Needs another pick either 4th or 5th

[Woodie]

My guess is it wouldn't be JUST the one 2nd round pick. More likely, it would also include at least one other pick, probably another one of their 2nd's. However, if that is all we get, then it is really an indictment of how the rest of the league values Peppers. Not to mention, it would show how ready the Panthers are to get rid of him.

[rko396]

wait, how could this happen? technically, the Pat's can't even talk to us about Pep until he signs his franchise tender. so how are details being worked out?
