Reed: Source says not even one offer for Pep to date

[mantal]

And he got 20% more then last year because he was already getting more then the average of the top 5. And considering if he signs his tender he will be the highest paid def player in the NFL (even over Haynesworth) and probably among the top 5 paid players in the NFL period. All this for a guy with consistency issues yeah I call that overspending.

We were willing to pay him the highest wage ever presented to a defensive player last year and he turned it down. Our cap went up over 6 million and his salary went up about 3 million. What's up?

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Never thought lazy players could get 14.5 sacks.

...or show up to TC in the ridiculous shape he's in.

[KillerKat]

That's how physically gifted he is. He could be the best defensive player in the history of the game if he really wanted to.

Well Im not gonna complain that instead of him being that, he's one of the best DEs in the league.

[pepaw]

He's not signed the tender because he's going to take the 16mil and pz out next year knowing that we can't afford to tag him again. Were getting #$)(*ed people.... no draft picks for peppers, wake up.

[Mr. Scot]

I honestly there is a deal already in play and bothe the Panthers and Patriots are keeping it quiet.

I've seen you post that theory before.

it's plausible.

[Mr. Scot]

As a side note, reed has gone out on a limb on stuff before only to have it turn around and bite him. This could be another example of that.

Or, of course, it could be the truth.

[Fox007]

I've seen you post that theory before.

it's plausible.

Well both franchises are known for keeping things under wraps and being silent on what they do.

They may very well be the only team we could do a silent trade with.

(it would surprise their and our rivals)

[Kevin Greene]

Another screw up by Pepper's agent.

Fixed

[Kurb]

If any team could keep a deal secret it would be the Pats and Panthers.

[Doc Holiday]

If any team tries to talk to the Panthers about a trade before he signs his tender it's considered tampering.

If pep wants to be traded and play somewhere other then Carolina, he needs to and I will Quote Bill Belichick here "Sign his tender".

And I'm not even sure the Panthers have any intention of trading Peppers anyhow

[Doc Holiday]

If any team could keep a deal secret it would be the Pats and Panthers.

dat true

[Mr. Scot]

Another screw up by Pepper's agent.

Otherwise known as "a league source with knowledge of the situation"

I looked over Reed's article to see if he ever referenced the restrictions that existed since he hasn't signed his tender. If he made any mention of that, I missed it. If this was written without that aspect of the story in mind, this one has the potential to look bad for him.

(and this after he had recovered a lot of the credibility lost in his "they'll never sign Keyshawn" story)

you remember how long he disappeared for after he blew the keyshawn thing? i had begun to consider him one of the more reliable ones since he came back.

poor guy.

[Troy17289TD]

Can the signing of the tender happen simultaneously with a deal that his agent has already essentially worked out between the two teams and Peppers, or does the signing of the tender have to be publicly filed and transparent for a minimum period of time to the rest of the 30 remaining teams? Just wondering.
