Panthers: No Peppers deal, or talks


Charles Chandler of the Charlotte Observer reports Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney denied an internet report Monday that the Carolina Panthers were working on a trade to send defensive end Julius Peppers to the New England Patriots for a second-round pick.

Furthermore, Hurney said he was unaware of any activity involving Peppers and other teams.

An NFL.com story indicated Carolina and New England were hoping to complete the trade some time between next week’s owners’ meetings in Dana Point, Calif., and the draft in late April.

"By the rules of the (collective bargaining agreement), we cannot and have not had any conversations with other teams about Julius," Hurney said in a statement released by team spokesman Charlie Dayton. "Under the non-exclusive franchise tag, Julius and his agent, Carl Carey, are within their rights to talk to other teams about a potential contract. However, at this point, we are not aware of any such conversations."

so your saying their's a chance....

 

[Paniolo22]

So I expect the deal to be announced tomorrow.

So I expect the deal to be announced tomorrow.

No just before the draft when picks are worth more. That way the 2nd really looks like a first round pick.

 

[DCBoysfan]

They say that now, then before the draft, they will end up trading Peppers to the Patriots.

 

[TNCowboy]

It's a given. You know they aren't letting him go to an NFC team.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Well this pretty much seals it for me that they're going to deal him to the Patriots.

Schefter: Peppers will Not be a Patriot in 2009


Christopher Price of WEEI radio reports that Adam Schefter of the NFL Network told WEEI's "Dennis & Callahan" this morning that Julius Peppers will not play for New England in 2009. This would appear to contradict a report yesterday from NFL.com reporter Vic Carucci that indicated the Patriots and Carolina Panthers were working on a deal that would send Peppers to New England for the 34th pick in the upcoming draft.

What was the basis of Shefter's guarantee?

We have nothing to offer the Panthers. The Pats have a 1st and 3 2nd round picks. They have the cap room to sign him to a deal, we do not. We still have to sign Ware.
