The Peppers If/Then Scenario List


Seamonk

Recommended Posts

The If Chart:

If Peppers signs his tender....

then he could be traded for draft picks to a team he doesn't want to goto, which may not be possible and the team could just have him for 1 year.

or

he could be traded for draft picks he DOES want to go to

or

The panthers don't trade him and have him play for one more season at an expensive price

If Peppers finds a team willing to sign him to an offer sheet....

then the panthers can get 2 First round picks for him

or

the panthers can match the offer (and with his cap number already at 16m, unless the first year of his contract is over that... his cap number should get smaller)

If Peppers doesn't sign his tender....

then he could face...

-ultimately sitting out for a season

-possibly getting out of game shape

-losing value as he turns 30

-facing a possible uncapped year in 2010 where they could apply a franchise tag to him again and not have to worry about cap issues. All the while the panthers never had to pay him for the year prior.

However,

"Under rules governing franchise players, Peppers isn’t required to attend any offseason activities or training camp until he signs his one-year, $16.7 million tender. So, the team can’t fine him." As Per www.profootballtalk.com and the Panthers can not participate in any trade talks with other teams until his Tender is signed.

or

the panthers rescind the franchise tag for cap related reasons

or

He could retire? <--- Not Sure on this one. Since he hasn't signed his tender, not sure if he could retire then come back.

Legend:

The Stuff in Blue is Advantage to Panthers FO

The Stuff in Gray is Advantage to Peppers

The Stuff in Black is Neither holds a clear Advantage.

----Silly Ones----

If I meet Peppers....

Then Im gonna kick him in the nuts

After kicking him in the nuts

Then Im gonna run to my car.:smilewinkgrin:

------end------

Feel free to add more. Hopefully we can get a list big enough to see all of the possible scenarios for peppers and ultimately solve the peppers dilemma and see who is really favored to come out on top.

Rules:

Please try to maintain the format.

They can be silly if you'd like.

We can't trade him to a team he does not want to go to, unless that trading team is happy to have him for just one year.

Well done, the point of this was to refine all the scenarios and see what they could actually do.

Just saw this on www.profootballtalk.com

Unhappy in Carolina after being rebuffed in his trade requests, veteran defensive end Julius Peppers exercised his right as an unsigned franchise player to skip the Panthers’ minicamp.

As first reported by Steve Reed of CarolinaGrowl.com on Thursday, two league sources indicated that the four-time Pro Bowl defensive end wouldn’t be showing up today.

Panthers General Manager Marty Hurney, whose second-round draft pick, Everette Brown, took extra work with Peppers not on the practice field, reiterated that his conversations with Peppers’ agent have, “all been positive.”

Under rules governing franchise players, Peppers isn’t required to attend any offseason activities or training camp until he signs his one-year, $16.7 million tender. So, the team can’t fine him.

At this point, there appears to be no resolution in sight.

Good job, so we know he probably won't be showing up for a while.. I'm guessing he might sign during TC, because if he intends on playing at all, he'll have to learn the new defense. Pretty much means he doesn't have to be in North Carolina during the entire summer.

Here's my list...

1-if he plays he plays...if he don't, he don't.

2 if he gets traded, he gets traded...if he don't, he don't.

I'm not even gonna waste my time worrying about him anymore.

Only making this because some people don't know what can and cannot be done. It's informative more than it is debate.

I have enough regard for peppers to expect him in training camp. He likes to train by himself anyway so I don't read much into him not going to mini camp. He will be there when he needs to be. If he isn't...I expect him to up and retire. He could always pull a farve later I suppose.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that there was something wrong with the thread. I was just expressing my feelings on the subject.

As funny as that would be, we'd still own the rights to him unless we release him just as the Jets did to Favre just recently. So if he decides to come back, he'd be older, making less money, and probably won't mean much to us anyway since we'd have moved on. So in a sense, he wins.. but not really. I guess that's still an option though.

I'm not sure how that'd work out with the Franchise tag though. If a player retires with a franchise on him, how does it effect the tag and the team? I mean, if he retires, he has to go through a process of getting out of the league. For him to unretire, he has to go through a process to get into the league. So if he does that, we'd naturally have to pull the franchise tag, and he'd be a free agent... right?

If anyone knows the legal processes to this, please come forward.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
