--In addition to his $16.683 million contract, defensive end Julius Peppers stands a chance to make an additional $1.5 million this year if he makes the Pro Bowl and $250,000 for every playoff game the Panthers win this season.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said placing the tag on Peppers was not a means for making a trade with another team.

"I've said this a number of times over the past few months we want Julius Peppers here," Hurney said. "The contract was signed with the intention of coming to training camp on August 2 with the Carolina Panthers. He's a valuable member to us and we want him here."

--The Panthers are moving Sherrod Martin, a safety at Troy, to cornerback and so far the transition seems to be going well. Coaches have been impressed with Martin's athleticism. He's viewed as the team's potential nickel back.

"I think I'm adapting pretty good," Martin said. "I can always get better. Right now I have to focus on the little things at cornerback. Right now it's fundamentals and techniques for me to help me on down the line. I have to be like a detective out there -- every little thing counts."

Fox downplayed the change to corner, saying that for Martin -- as well as most rookies -- it's more mental than physical.

"He's played the position before, so it's not totally foreign," Fox said. "It's not like he's going from defensive back to offensive tackle. It's not quite that kind of a carryover. But he's done it in college and there's competition there, too.

--Coach John Fox has been impressed with the progress of the young players on this year's roster.

"I think excellent. We are trying to lay a good foundation so that when we get to camp we are not starting from square one," Fox said. "That's what the OTA's are designed for. Whether it's minicamp or OTA's, those are all situations where we can get guys prepared."

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I'm not going to get into all the discussions that have taken place. Obviously Julius signing the one-year tender I think shows that he is happy and comfortable being here. We have certainly said all along we feel that way and I think everyone that has followed us knows how valuable he is to us." -- Panthers GM Marty Hurney on Julius Peppers signing his franchise tender

I am forced to start a thread to get some of my frustrations out. I have been posting periodically ever since the offseason and ever since our shocking blow out loss to the Cardinals in the Playoffs last year, I have not agreed with the direction of this team. To many of you who insist on saying we are the best 4-6 team in the league and ...(more)

Not saying it would work. Not saying it will happen (Id be shocked, especially since we dont have a 1st round pick). But wouldnt you wanna at least SEE this...

I know here are alot of negative things to say after a loss to the Dolphins... without Ronnie Brown... But John Fox is not the problem, Ron Meeks, not the entire problem.  The sole reason for this abysmal season is the decline of ...(more)

If you notice a big bellow of smoke rising from the Southern part of the US.  It will not be a sugar cane burning,a lift off of the space shuttle at Cape Kenndy or afterdraft from California Wildfires.  It will be smoke and ash residue from Tar Heel Girls birthday cake.  Entered in the Guiness book of World Records, her cake was the size of 3 football fields, which barely was b ...(more)

I don't blame delhomme for the loss bc he did what was expected and completely sucked. To not change QB just shows this coaching staff and owner do not give 2 s**ts about winning. This entire staff needs to go except for meeks. Fox is riding delhommes balls until he is cut or retires and you'd think Mike Martz was calling our offensive plays.

I don't know what was worse last night, ...(more)

Its that time of year. We are almost mathmatically out of the playoffs. Still have that inkling of a chance but morre then likely we wont make it. Sooooo...who do you want to see go and who dont you mind staying? Maybe who you want us to sign? Just remember its an uncapped year!

This will a big big win for the Panthers as they face the Falcons in their 2nd contest of the season.  The Falcons won the first match-up 28-20, but it was closer than the score showed at their place.  But now they are in our house.

Well that loss pretty much ended the season for the Panthers. If that isn't bad enough Thomas Davis is out for the year. What a dreadful half a season this has been. Our passing game is the joke of the nfl and it needs addressed immediately. It is not good enough to w ...(more)

I'll kick this off by saying I always thought Jake Delhomme was underappreciated during his time in Carolina.  I mean, you look at a lot of his stats from the past couple years, and it's pretty impressive.  They even won an NFC championship.  A couple years ago, Delhomme looked unstoppable in the first 3 games and th ...(more)

The Panthers have shown that they can not blow any teams out. They also showed that they can not execute the play action pass to catch the defense out of position. If teams want to stack 8 or 9 in the box, all Jake has to do is a play action fake to Williams or Stewart, catch the 8 or 9 in the box out of position and throw to the receivers ...(more)
