and so closes the most poorly handled holdout threat in the history of the nfl

With Peppers signed, the Panthers march into training camp with 21 of their 22 first-teamers from last year's 12-4 season still in the fold.

This could be big for the Panther's this year.

Could be, but where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, going into the 2007 season. I know this team is better than the 2007 team but its still a thought.

Well, that's why I said could... the starters coming back is really good... having good backups, which we do for the most part is great... keeping injuries at bay is where it's really at in the NFL.

Man it's about to be a dangerous Year for the South. Them Two Monsters playn DE. Sounds like Pain to the QB's to me..

Peppers' agent, Carl Carey, told the Observer that : "Julius is more than satisfied with the outcome and is prepared and ready to play football."

Carey said a statement from Peppers was forthcoming in which Peppers said he'd had "positive and productive" conversations with the Panthers and that he was "optimistic" about the upcoming season.

I like how it says on the Panthers website Defensive end Julius Peppers signed his contract tender Wednesday, securing his status with the Panthers for the 2009 season. That makes me happy . Now lets not talk about trades :nono:.

Great, now maybe we can win a Super Bowl.

Peppers will be perhaps the highest paid player in the league with a contract that could pay him up to $19.183 million this season. He has a guaranteed $16.683 million base salary -- the amount of his offer sheet as a franchise free agent -- plus an incentive of $1.5 million if he makes the Pro Bowl and $250,000 per each playoff win up to and including the Super Bowl.

The incentives carry over from Peppers' contract from last season.

Yeah, I wonder if Peppers and Carey are going to pop the champagne and celebrate anytime soon. :ciappa:

You say that like it would be some kind of punishment. There is probably a good chance that he will be with the 2's for a short time, but that's only because he's behind everybody else in this new scheme.
