Julius Peppers will accept a trade to Four Teams, Tampa Bay is one

…UPDATE…

The Panthers have signed Jordan Gross and placed their Franchise Tag on Julius Peppers. The quest for the Bucs to sign Julius Peppers has officially ended. So much for that, there is no way the Panthers trade Peppers within the division. He’s either staying there for Mega money, getting traded to the Cowboys, or a team in the AFC… Damn, good luck Peppers!!

Darin Gantt of the Herald Online is reporting sources close with the Julius Peppers camp have circulated a list of just four teams to which he's willing to accept a trade. Of those four teams two are from the NFC South. #1 The Saints are over the Cap so forget them, #2 The Bucs have more Cap Space than the Falcons ($46 mil - $9 mil for Bryant is > than the $20 million the Falcons possess). The other two teams? Dallas who doesnt have a 1st Round Pick this off-season and an unknown AFC Team?

The clock is ticking for the Carolina Panthers. They have until 4pm tomorrow (Feb. 19th) to franchise tag Julius Peppers. They also have OT Jordan Gross who has yet to re-sign and the Panthers may be stuck with the choice to tag one or the other... I'm not getting excited yet, but there's hope JP reaches the Free Agency Market. Come on Football Gods, you kicked me in the nads when Alge Crumpler became available last off-season, let's not go down that road again.

wow !

that means he holds more respect for our organization then theres !! but they won’t let him come here cause of seeing him twice a year !! my opinion is hes great but too old for two first round picks !!

Who was the guy that leaked the teams? I'm not so sure Peppers would ever be a Buc (sorry Jerry)

we are division rivals! No team in there right mind would trade there superstar player to a rival team.

#2. Julius Peppers wants to play in a 3-4 system to “better utilize his overall talent”.He wants to play LB so that kind of eliminates us as potential suitors.

If by some miracle we had our choice of either Peppers or Haynesworth, who would you take? Forget the money or what it would cost to get either here. I pick Haynesworth. He fills an immediate need and is in the prime of his career. Sorry Peppy.

I would take Haynesworth.

Both are too expensive and old for what I want. Would help for a year or two, but I don’t forsee us being serious contenders this year and possibly next anyway. I couldn’t agree with your take more. I don’t think it is us on that list. I was thinking San Fran….but maybe not.

But articles like the one I read on pewterreport.com make you dream though...

Could you imagine the Bucs landing BOTH Haynesworth AND Peppers? Like whoa. Check out this article: http://pewterreport.com/articles/view/5225

i would take Peppers and never look back

He’s proven, i love him, and he would destroy the Panthers twice a year…

too bad this is no longer a reality

I think selling the farm

for one or two guys is silly. I would rather get young talent, develop it and get role players who are above average (see the New England Patriots)

in this instance

Seneca said if i had my pick, while not taking into consideration the costs dollar wise or giving up picks wise….

obviously i would never give up two #1’s for a Haynesworth or Peppers, but if we were just talking money, count me in

Let get those guys out there without the cost

if the cost is too much then just let it go…..Haynesworth is available and we could draft a DE in the first round….with the resigning of Sims….we could have a great rotation with Haynesworth …Sims …..Hovan…Moore….On the outside Adams….and the draftee…with Wilkerson and White in the rotation……I could live with that…..Then in the draft we could have 2-7 rounds for the offense….Dre Bly would be a good pickup for the secondary as well…..
