Chances of Pep coming back??

[unicar15]

I can't imagine Pep signing for any less than the most lucrative defensive contract in league history. With us extending Gamble (to a top 5 corner salary) what is everyone's feeling on what will happen with Pep?

Pep will almost surely be the highest paid DE in the league (something around 11-12 mil a year) and Gamble will be making something like 8 million a year. We might have to either come to terms with parting ways with Gross to sign Pep or release a highly paid veteran to let a young guy take his spot (like Lucas). My hope is the latter because with the way our running game has been clicking this year...Gross would be terrible to lose. Sucks that arguably 3 of our 5 most important players are FAs all in the same year. How did we let it get to this point without restructuring their contracts??

Hurney will figure it out. He is one of the best in the league at the salary cap.

Pep is already counting about 14 mil against the cap this year so if we drop it to 11 mil next year we save 3 mil!!!!! Doesn't that make your day better.

Lucas walks, Gross is franchised, Pep resigned. Any questions?

the chances of peppers coming back is 100% he either signs a new contract or he signs the franchise tender. people need to stop worrying over this.

Gonna wait until the season over. Dudes like Moss plays for less than maximum to play for a winner and Superbowl contender. We want to keep Pep it won't be just the money but if he wants to play here. Winning makes things fun and people want to be where they are happy. Look here, you want Pep, win the Super Bowl. That would do more than the money which he is going to get anyway.

Worst case scenario...we "franchise" Peppers....then re-sign him....

Peppers isn't leaving the Panthers...

Moss is getting paid one of the highest per year salary right now of any Wide Receiver

Don;t be a fool. It ain't about making him play here by franchising him it is about getting him to want to be here. That is when you get the home team discount. That is when you get the kind of effort he is giving this year. He looks like he is having fun right now. Imagine how much more fun he will be having if we are still playing 2 months from now.

You heard it here first.
