Panthers deny talking Peppers with Patriots icon_report_hi.gif

March 16, 2009 7:34 PM

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham The Carolina Panthers have released a statement from general manager Marty Hurney that says, contrary to an NFL.com report, they have not had any talks with the New England Patriots about trading pass rusher Julius Peppers.

By the rules of the CBA, we cannot and have not had any conversations with other teams about Julius. 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.

NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas and I are in agreement that this denial doesn't mean a trade won't be consummated between the teams.

Vic Carucci's report for NFL.com, citing unnamed league sources, said the deal would be struck sometime between the NFL's annual ownership meetings, which begin this weekend in Dana Point, Calif., and the draft on April 25.

Honestly, I rather the Pats have Peppers than Wilfork.

I'm glad they are NOT getting Peppers but it wouldn't be as bad as if they did.

#1 If pats get Peppers for just a 2nd rd pick, the panthers should be tarred and feathered

if said happens the smoke comin from St Vincent's head will be seen for miles:D

I will kill myself if they trade him for a 2nd rounder.

Of course they're going to say that. Because they're not supposed to be talking to anybody. Peppers' agent is. This will be dead the second Peppers lines up for the Panthers on opening day.

This is true.

It means very little. I hope it's true.

Speaking of hope, I also hope Wilfork gets Chlamydia.

i was listening to Shein and Wilcotts and they said that Adam Schefter reported that this trade will not happen...

Heard the same thing, still not buying it.

However if the Patriots do sign Jason Taylor and reportedly they have a "50-50" chance of doing so, I think that will put to rest all of the Julius Peppers to New England rumors.
