Fan Debate: Carolina Panthers Fans want MORE for DE Julius Peppers
...ATTENTION...
I just wanted to apologize to anyone who read the Carolina Panthers Fans post in the comments section. Behavior like that will NOT be tolerated on this site. I expect anyone and everyone who comments on this site to at the very least treat people your responding to with the respect they deserve. You can cut people down in a joking manner, but don't curse at folks for voicing their opinions. That's all I wanted to say, again I apologize for that fans actions...
So I know I said I was sick of "Trade Talk", but I didnt say anything about good-spirited fan-base to fan-base trade talk. Over the past couple weeks I've discussed the Bucs potential to Trade for the Carolina Panthers DE Julius Peppers who is rumored to be on the trading block...
I polled fellow Bucs Fans on whether they would be interested in trading for Peppers and an overwhelming majority said YES!, trade for Julius... and so I made a trade offer to Jaxon over at Cat Scratch Reader, our Carolina Panthers Blog. The offer was as follows:
The majority of that fan base either wanted more in return (41%) or wanted no part of trading Peppers period (47%)...
My question to you is, Should we up the ante for DE Julius Peppers? To be honest, I was thinking about counter-offering with our '08 2nd Round Draft Pick and MLB Barrett Ruud... I know Ruud led the team in tackles, is young, and embodies what a Bucs player is all about, but we've got to give to get.. Should we continue negotiations or what?

Panthers Don't Need Rudd
As you pointed out though, 47% want no part of a trade. They must be confident that last season was a one year anomaly that Pep will correct this season. Sorry Buc fans, you chances of landing Peppers are worse than your chances of winning the NFC South this season, slim to none!!!

haha "Slim to None"
As for a OT or DT, well I doubt you guys would want Petitgout (as he doesnt have the cleanest bill of health) and I would give you Trueblood if it meant putting Peppers in the Pewter and Red, but something tells me you wouldnt want him either.
Does the name Jovan Haye excite you as far as DT's go? I didnt think so, you probably won't want any of those off our roster either...
I suggested Barrett Ruud as he's the one player on our team that's a hot commodity. Tanard Jackson's stock fell when he got injured and everyone else is still proving themselves or preparing for retirement...
As for our chances of acquiring Peppers (we both know and stated it would never happen, this whole deal was to help pass the off-season while having a little fun), but we'd be doing your franchise a favor by trading for Peps, cause you're going to lose him when he becomes a free agent next season anyway and for nothing. I guess if you Franchised him you would get something, but when we make it to the Playoffs again next season, those picks won't be worth much : )

So clearly the 1st Round Pick they want, who else would you throw into the pot?

MLB in a 4-3

yeah
I think Peppers will bounce back, he has to much pride and a contract year hanging on the line to just give in to injuries
I'm sure the Panthers will Franchise Tag him next season and make it near impossible to sign him.. I'll keep my fingers crossed though
Welcome to the site man!!
