I wanna know, who would you rather Franchise? Big Julius or Big Ole' Jordan Gross? Me personally, would Franchise Big Ole' Jordan Gross since he is the one who opens up the most holes in the O-Line for DeAngelo and Stewart to get through. So, who would be your choice?


The Panthers worked this the best way possiable.

Peppers wouldnt sign a deal, so they were forced to use the tag on him. Gross was willing to sign a deal, so there was no need to tag him. In the event they both refused to sign a deal, you would have to choose to franchise gross, hes too valuable, espically for that RB tandom.

I'm pretty sure they're going to trade Peppers even though they tagged him. Good point though.

Yeah. I would love to keep Peppers since he is one of the best DE in the NFL and without him our Defense would suck even more than they already do. As soon as we had to Release Dan Morgan from MLB, our Defense went way down hill from there. I say if we trade Peppers we trade him for Boldin, or a WR that is like a young Muhsin Muhammad, or we trade him for Dan Morgan back.

It was smart for the Panthers to franchise Peppers, and sign Gross to a long term deal. That way, you keep one of the best current offensive lineman, and you have Peppers under your control. Carolina will probably trade Peppers, and they can get a lot of value for him.

No-doubt. I think Peppers could go for most good players in the NFL. However I think they'll go for a WR to match with Steve Smith considering Mushin Muhammad retiring soon most likely. Which could leave the door open for a WR like Anquan Boldin, the Cards need a valuable DE.


That trade might benefit both teams, from a positional standpoint, but the Cardinals would have to take on an even bigger contract than Boldin, by taking Peppers.

...And I don't know who Peppers thinks he is, by making a "list" of four teams that he wants to get traded to... rolleyes

Lol, I was thinking the same thing!
I've never thought Peppers was all that great, he's good but not even as good as a Osi Umenyoira. Of-course nothing against Osi.


I always thought Peppers was great. But not the best. It's a shame to see him make over $16 million this season, and be the highest paid defensive player. Defensive lineman are making a bit too much nowadays.

And I missed Osi last season. Even though we lost Spagnuolo, I think that the Giants' defense will still do really well, especially in the pass rush. We just need to boost up our secondary, and get some linebackers that can play in coverage...

Ha, it was crazy last season! You guys lost Strahan and Umenyoira emerged, you lost him and Tuck emerged when Tuck started getting doubled Kiwanuka emerged, it's like they defensive ends just kept coming!


Yeah, we should have a good rotation next year. Giants GM Jerry Reese said that he's probably going leave Kiwanuka at defensive end. So the Giants will have a beast DE rotation with Osi and Tuck starting, and Kiwi coming in, or coming in at linebacker sometimes.

Overall i think they should trade Peppers, he may only have like 2 or 3 years left in him, plus it isn't like he has been doing as good as he was back in the day. Carolina has meny options but the one i would do is trade Peppers for Boldin. If that can't happen i would trade him for Colt Brennan and some d-line or o-line guy from washington, Carolina will need a QB in the future Delhomme is getting old and the Tommy John surgery their is no way he will be around much longer.


Peppers actually has quite a few years left in him, and he's coming off the best season of his career.

I don't know where all this talk about trading Peppers for Boldin is coming from. The Cardinals are doing their best to try and keep Anquan Boldin in Arizona.

Whoo, we get both! Julius will get traded, though.

the question is, who would want julius peppers cause he would take 17 million cap room, my only guess is the cheifs cause they got 45 million cap room and are in desperate need of a D-line

Why trade for Peppers when you have to trade so much to get him. Seriously. It's not worth it. I say go for Suggs or one of the others that are underated.

peppers has stated that he will only go to 4 teams, Dallas and that Phillie or NY, or some AFC team that i dont recall.


Hes being selfish, but i dont blame him for wanting to win a ring.

Well, if he stays in Carolina then he will get a Ring hopefully within the next few of years. And I had no idea Dan Morgan was retired, someone where I live said he went to the Saints. But if we can get our Defense where it was about 3-4 years ago, and get Jake to take the pressure and acutally pass to Dwayne Jarret or Muhsin Muhammad every so often, than we will definetly get a Ring within the next few years.

Suggs got franchised by the Ravens a week ago. The Baltimore linebacker that seems to be available right now is Bart Scott, but he is a bit overrated.

Anyways, Peppers is the only real impact defensive lineman on the trade block, but I also think that he isn't worth the large asking price (for a trade). He also would take up a lot of salary space.
