Does anyone know why Peppers won't sign his tender?

[Sam Mills Fan]

FACT: Julius Peppers has not signed his $16.68 million tender offer.

FACT: Peppers does not want to play with the Panthers next year.

FACT: We cannot trade Peppers until he signs his tender nor can we discuss with any other teams the possibility of trading him.

FACT: Peppers said in early January about the Panthers, "I don’t want to leave them crippled or in a bad situation."

So Peppers wants out, but we can't do anything about that until he signs his tender. He refuses to do so.

CONCLUSION: Julius Peppers is a lying bitch that apparently DOES want to cripple the Panthers.

FACT: Pep and his agent want to have COMPLETE control over where he ends up, and he loses that the day he signs...

FALSE: Trade discussions aren't allowed between teams until he signs.

FALSE: Trade discussions aren't allowed between teams until he signs.

NO, but his agent can shop Peppers all he wants, which validates the other poster's point.

I believe you are a very bitter person...

FACT: Julius Peppers has not signed his $16.68 million tender offer.

True.

FACT: Peppers does not want to play with the Panthers next year.

Not completely true.

FACT: We cannot trade Peppers until he signs his tender nor can we discuss with any other teams the possibility of trading him.

We can't... His agent can speak to anyone he likes.

FACT: Peppers said in early January about the Panthers, "I don’t want to leave them crippled or in a bad situation."

...and he doesn't...

So Peppers wants out, but we can't do anything about that until he signs his tender. He refuses to do so.

You don't know any more than anyone besides Julius what he exactly wants. Who said we WOULD do something about it once he signs his tender?

CONCLUSION: Julius Peppers is a lying bitch that apparently DOES want to cripple the Panthers.

You couldn't be further from the truth, and I guarantee you you wouldn't say that to his face.

Julius will either be a Panther next season or he won't... Move along.. There are more interesting things to discuss... You are letting this define the offseason..

But by not getting a deal done, they are crippling the team. The team can't adequately prepare for the draft because they don't know if Peppers will be gone for certain, what extra picks they may or may not get in a Peppers trade. They also have zero cap room until they move Peppers.

last report ive heard is peppers has 2nd feelings about being traded...

[RedMage138]

A team can sign peppers i thought they just have to fork over 2 first rounders

Of course I wouldn't. That's the beauty of the Internet.

100% truth in this statement... I tried to tell you all from the get go...

[Sam Mills Fan]

Where are you guys getting that from? Is that some sort of inside scoop on Peppers just like his mysterious illness in 2007?

They prepare for every draft the same, by scouting every single player that has a chance of being drafted. Take that pool and knock it down to players you like and where you would take said player at. It doesn't matter where you drafting at, that can all change. They can make a move and trade peppers or they can decide not to do so and it wouldn't affect the way they prepare for the draft. They are still scouting first round talent, Do we have a first round pick??????

No we don't at the moment.
