God are we really going to be stuck with this albatross for another year? Here's hoping for a late trade.

Hurney: Peppers signing not prelude to a trade

Just got off a conference call with Carolina general manager Marty Hurney, who discussed Julius Peppers signing his one-year tender as the franchise player.

Before the conspiracy theorists get rolling, Hurney said this move was not a prelude to the Panthers turning around and trading Peppers.

"We want Julius Peppers here," Hurney said. "This one-year contract was signed with the intention of him coming to training camp on Aug. 2 with the Carolina Panthers."

I'll be back with analysis in a bit, but wanted to share that part of the call with you.

Well that ends the speculation. Hes not going anywhere.

Shame we haven't been able to trade him.

I can't wait for his 10 sacks against Miami and his 13.5 sack pro bowl year!

Now we'll get to see if Meeks can get into Peppers brain the way Turgo never could.

You're right, we can easily do without his 14.5 sacks.

Why would you want to trade a 10+ SACK DE ?

Here we are with a few questions at our D Line and you guys want to get rid of one our best assets. Peppers working a year with Everette Brown could only be good for our team for this year and the future.

As far as Peppers now signing a multiyear deal. I don't think so. Why ? He has 17 to 19 mill coming this year. He can slow play that as he has everything else and see how much he likes Meeks and his new scheme.

He wanted to go elsewhere which is what he has done in the interim spending time Arizona instead of here in OTA's and the like. Now that TC is the next he is on board. He has taken all of this at his own pace. I say well done from his point of view.

Made the fans nervous but we'll get over it. Except a few Whiney wienies

Pep will be a career Panther...

That's all you need to know about that...

[Montsta]

Peppers and CJ as the starters and every down ends, alternating in Brayton and Brown for rush/pass situations. Could be a pretty good line. I see a lot of "pressure picks" in Gamble's future.
