From My local Station in NC
Peppers won't sign long-term deal with Panthers - WRALSportsFan.com
I was stoked when I read this.

I work with a Panther Fan. This guy has been telling me for years the Panthers needed to Get rid of Delhome.

Well the other day he told me that Peppers is a free agent and that word he was hearing was that Peppers did not want to play for the Panthers anymore.

I jokingly told him I would give him Cassel for Peppers and he looked a bit intrigued.

Then today I read this.

I think this is the ideal trade.

This would be a win win for both Franchises in my opinion.

Of course for us he would play outside linebacker. But could you imagine having Peppers and Thomas as your bookends???? This alone would improve the Pats passing defense infinately.

I would do this deal in a minute!

What do you guys think.

How about no?







As in, I cannot see that ever happening.

Definitely an intriguing idea, but does Peppers have any experience in the 3-4? What kind of salary would he be looking for?

Carolina may franchise him at a cost of $16+ mill. If I were him, I would sign that in a second and go through the process again next year. (Like Walter Jones did in Seattle) He is a proven commodity, still young, that could max his dollars each and every year, verses taking the safe long term contract with say $30 mill guaranteed

Absolutely. Pep' is a beast. Plus I've been teasing my buddy for years about Peppers coming to the Pats, demanding to be put into the Hall as a Pat, etc. It would be the ultimate. Panther fans are wicked easy to rustle.

i actually had a thread started about this post last night, but decided at the last minute not to post. its an interesting idea. all depends of course on the ability of Peppers to convert into a 3-4 DE or OLB, something i dont believe hes done in his career. I didnt post it though, because I think in the end, it will cost too much money to have him signed, something we probably will be unwilling to do

Who would you let go to make room for him -- Seymour?

Now I have not taken a look at the cap ramifications.

But my thinking is that if the Pats are willing to take the 14 Million dollar hit for Cassel, the would be better served using that Money for Peppers. Of course this may not be realistic, but as I said in the title, this is just speculation on my part.

I would think if Peppers signed a long term deal here, year 1 would be less then a 14 mil cap hit.

Did you see this? Panthers need a QB pretty badly....

The transition is the worrisome thing. It would have to go brilliantly to be worth it and after throwing the money and QB away, it would suck for it to fail.
