...UPDATE...

DE Julius Peppers wants OUT of Carolina. Great right? That's freaking AWESOME. My dreams are close to becoming a reality, that's until you read that he wants to play in a 3-4 defense and for a contender. Two things the Buccaneers are not. We are in rebuild mode, but we do have a disgusting amount of cap space to throw around. Plus we do present a challenge for him, as the D-Line needs help and he would have to find a way to finagle jersey number #90 from Gaines Adams.

Peppers agent explains his decision:

"The front office has been informed of my desire to explore opportunities with other NFL teams following the expiration of my contract next month." Pepper's said. "At this point in my career, I am seeking new challenges that will allow me to grow, develop and reach my personal potential on the football field."

It will be interesting to see if the Panthers stab him in the back with the Franchise Tag, if they do... yikes, remember that 2.5 sack 2007 performance? Yeah...
