Wake Up Panthers!

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:19:22 +0000

Peppers for a 2nd rounder ??? What? NFL sources say the Panthers would welcome the chance to unload Peppers for a second-round draft pick, even though it would be well below his market value, because it would be less costly than signing a first-rounder. The Panthers already have made ...

Panthers Wake Up From Slumber

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:43:56 +0000

Hm… looks like someone finally informed the Panthers that free agency has been underway for a while now. The Panthers might let their long snapper walk because he’s ‘too expensive’. That said, he hopes to be back . Given the Panthers style of play (they aren’t ...

Team Needs: Quarterback?

Fri, 6 Mar 2009 05:46:31 +0000

Current roster breakdown: Jake Delhomme , Josh McCown , Matt Moore Common thought amongst Panthers fans seems to be “overhaul the position”. Which makes some sense, given that Delhomme had possibly his worst game ever in the biggest game of the season for the Panthers. And ...

Panthers Visiting Workouts

Tue, 3 Mar 2009 05:03:53 +0000

Nice to see the Panthers actually doing something this week (given that they haven’t even hosted a FA, and that they can’t try to trade Peppers until he signs the tender)… Among the colleges with workouts this week: Baylor, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Missouri, Troy and ...

Peppers Is Going Nowhere… For Now

Tue, 3 Mar 2009 01:19:39 +0000

Via Adam Schefter … Peppers has a franchise tender and cannot be traded until he signs it, which means any trade discussions must go through his agent, Carl Carey. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, Carolina is prohibited from discussing a deal for Peppers with ...

What’s Going On In Denver?

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 05:33:44 +0000

First, from Adam Schefter … The Internet is abuzz with speculation that Broncos QB Jay Cutler is in Denver and ready to have a sit-down meeting with team officials, possibly even including new head coach Josh McDaniels. But Cutler’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, called Sunday night to say ...

Peppers To Patriots?

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 01:05:11 +0000

Well, it unfortunately seems that the Jay Cutler-wants-out rumors have blown over, and he’s going to stay. And I highly doubt the Panthers, who somehow seem satisfied with their current QB trio (it’s alright, but if you get a shot to upgrade, you jump on it), even made an offer. ...

Cutler Wants Out?

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 02:01:41 +0000

Matt Cassel went to the Chiefs . But there was extra talking at the time… talking that has frustrated Broncos QB Jay Cutler. Tampa approached Denver to try to make a three-way trade that would have sent Cassel to the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler to the Buccaneers. The Broncos ...

Hangartner Is A Bill

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 21:51:09 +0000

Geoff Hangartner has signed on with the Bills, and will probably be the starting OC there. That’s 2 days down… and 2 offensive linemen gone. Not a good start to free agency, while the team still flounders with the Julius Peppers decision and does absolutely nothing to improve. ...

Dewayne Robertson?

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:35:42 +0000

Finally… some Panthers news . Panthers officials have told a number of agents they will not be active in the first wave of free agency, which began with gusto at 12:01 a.m. this morning. However, they have sent out feelers to a number of specific players — players who fit what ...

Free Agency Begins!

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:28:43 +0000

Restructuring & Cuts & More

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:20:13 +0000

Damione Lewis & Ma’ake Keomeatu each had their contracts ‘extended’… allowing the signing bonus to be pro-rated through 2014 instead of 2010. I highly doubt either player will still be with the Panthers in 2014. Nick Goings, DJ Hackett & Jeremy Bridges all ...

Lucas Says No To Detroit

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:46:55 +0000

Lucas has declined a trade to Detroit, and the teams have decided not to continue negotiations. Dang it Ken. Now we’re going to have to cut you… and you’re going to lose money as well.

Peppers Staying?

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:04:18 +0000

Will anyone pay up? The general consensus at the combine, where virtually the entire league is gathered, is that Julius Peppers is more likely to be back playing for the Panthers next season than he is to be traded as a franchise free agent. The widely-held thinking in Indy seems to be ...
