Barring a dramatic change, Julius Peppers isn't going anywhere.
With draft day Saturday, Peppers, a Pro Bowl defensive end, is still a member of the Carolina Panthers, albeit as a franchise free agent.
No trade is in sight and the team is moving forward with plans that he'll be back next season.
Neither the New England Patriots nor the Philadelphia Eagles, two teams Peppers was interested in playing for, have shown a willingness to surrender the mega-trade package necessary to acquire him from Carolina and give him a top-market contract.
Since Peppers hasn't signed the tender offer he received from the Panthers when they franchised him, they can't trade him under rules of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
By not signing the tender before the draft, Peppers was able to make sure the Panthers didn't try to trade him to a team for which he did not want to play.
I would feel horrible, as Big Sey is a vital part of our defense.
I still don't think the Panthers can keep him and they already freaked out by signing Jake Delhomme to a 40 million dollar deal. The Panthers are going to have do a couple more of those extentions or cut a few more players.

In fact, the window isn't going to open for ever.
Peppers won't sign the tender because he's afraid the Panthers would trade him to a team that he doesn't want to play for.
if richard seymour was in a 4-3 as a DT and was asked to just passrush he would lead all DT in sacks if not the whole NFL hes a much better player then pepper
